The first thing any Blackjack player will have at the forefront of his mind when he is thinking of sitting down to play Blackjack online is that the game can be beaten. This however doesn’t mean that every time he plays Blackjack he will end his session massively in profit, in fact, to be a successful Blackjack player you should know that it is a very hard grind to make a profit playing Blackjack.

It is a battle against you and the casino, and the savvy Blackjack player will arm himself with as much information as possible, as there are loads of different Blackjack games out there and they all come with different rules and payouts.

House Edge

A good strategy is to first find a Blackjack variant that has a very low House Edge. This is the expected profit that a casino can expect to win over the long term. This house edge can vary greatly but if you are playing online then one game you should head for is a game that is found only at Microgaming powered casinos. That game is Classic Blackjack and it has a tiny house edge of 0.13%.

If however, you prefer playing at Playtech-powered online casinos then one game that just jumps off the screen at you is Blackjack Switch which has a low house edge of just 0.16%.
