American blackjack is a style of blackjack that involves less risk for the player, as, firstly, the player can surrender at any stage of card dealing, and secondly, the player has the ability to double down on any cards, unlike European blackjack. In addition, the dealer is dealt 2 cards at once, one of which is open for all players to see, so if the first card is an ace or gives 10 points, the second card is opened, as there is a chance that the combination is collected. In American blackjack, the dealer stops drawing cards at a “soft hand” of 17 points.

Unlike American blackjack, European blackjack is more unpredictable. Unlike American blackjack, you can only double down in European blackjack when you have a hand of 9-11. In addition, the dealer is initially dealt one card and receives the second card only after the players have formed their combinations. If the player has already performed an action, he can’t surrender. 

Perfect pairs – one of the most popular varieties of blackjack. Here players make the same bets + additional bets. The extra bet is made only before the cards are dealt, and it doesn’t have to be equal to the main bet. The extra bet is made in order to get a pair to the original cards. Pairs of cards are divided into three categories:

• Perfect pairs –  two identical cards. Payout odds for this pair is 30:1;
• Colored pair – a pair with the same face value and number, the same color, but suits may be different. Payout odds for this pair is 10:1;
• Mixed pair – two cards with the same number and face value, but different suits and colors. Payout odds for this pair is 5:1.

This type of blackjack allows you to make “free doubles” or “free splits” during the game. The only condition for this is certain sums of combinations. So, “free double” can be done when the sum of the combination is 9-11 points. When a player takes advantage of the free bet, he gets one card. If the player loses, he loses only 1 initial bet, in case of winning he gets his bet + two more. “Free split” is allowed for all pairs of cards, except tens. In “free split” the initial bet stays with the player on the first hand, and then each hand is played separately.

The main difference between blackjack switch and classic blackjack is that in blackjack switch the player can play on two “boxes” simultaneously and change cards between them, but only until the decision to split, double or surrender is made.
Also, the difference is that the dealer does not stop drawing cards with a “soft hand” (17 points), but continues to draw cards. If he scored 22 points, and none of the players has a blackjack combination (21 points), a draw is declared.

This variation of the game allows participants to play more than one hand, therefore making more bets. In this case, each “hand” is treated as a separate, played separately and the amount of bets do not have to be the same for all. Typically, you can play 5 hands at once, but some casinos support only 3 hands (bets). Also for multi-hand blackjack there may be different rules for doubling or splitting bets, so it is better to familiarize yourself with them before starting the play.

Live casino blackjack allows you to connect to the game in real time, where the dealer is a real person. You can watch the process of hanging out and dealing cards from start to finish, since the card deck and the dealer’s hands are always in view. If there are other participants at the table, you can communicate with them. For live casino blackjack the price of the minimum/maximum bet is different from virtual blackjack and is usually slightly higher. Stakes, as well as the number of players, you can see in the lobby, before you join the game. Thus, the wide range of types of blackjack allows everyone to choose the most suitable for him/her, both in terms of rules and strategies, and other aspects.
