Finally, if you are caught counting cards, casinos have a right to get you permanently banned from playing blackjack (called a backoff), or even have you arrested by the police if they ever see you in their casinos again (86 rule).įun can be had, and money can be made playing Blackjack if you know what you are doing. These may have worked years ago when the number of decks was small, but are of little value today and can only give you a slight edge at best.
I mention this so you will not waste your time and money on card counting methods. Further, some of the casinos use shoes that constantly shuffle the cards. Most casinos use a multiple deck shoe which can hold up to eight decks of cards.
For the most part the rules for playing are pretty much the same all over. Blackjack or twenty-one as it is sometimes called is played in casinos all over the world including online casinos.
