Atlantic City Blackjack

There are many different versions of blackjack that are currently playable online but the Atlantic City Blackjack variant is perhaps one of the best known. As the name might imply, if you have only been to casinos in Las Vegas then you are perhaps not that familiar with this variant of blackjack but if you have been to Atlantic City or any casinos nearby in a geographical sense, you probably already know how the game works.

In Atlantic City Blackjack, the dealer is required to draw whenever their hand is sixteen or lower and is required to stand when their hand is seventeen or higher. People that are particularly perceptive will note that this is different from some blackjack variants, in which a soft seventeen (17 with an A worth 11 points) does not always mean a dealer has to stand. Players are allowed to double or split on initial hands and can double after their first split, but no second splits are allowed. Additionally, if the player splits on two aces, they will only be dealt one card for each of the new hands (i.e. splitting on an ace requires one hit and then a stay regardless of other circumstances). While these rules for Blackjack are almost constant throughout the whole state of New Jersey, Atlantic City Blackjack is just one of many different variants of the game that you can find at online casinos. For the most part, online casinos have remained true to the rules of this variant and for that reason you can easily find a good game of Atlantic City Blackjack online. While the social element of the game is largely removed in the online theatre, at the same time a number of annoyances from the dealers and other players are also removed and so there is a trade-off involved. If you enjoy Atlantic City Blackjack in the offline world, then it is highly recommended that you at least give it a try online. Most people that do are not disappointed.
