Playing Blackjack Online for Real Money in Canada

Canadian players never have a problem with playing blackjack online for real money. This popular card game comes in many variations with exciting gameplay and high winning potential.

What makes it special is that it combines luck and strategy. It only takes you a few minutes to learn the rules to get ready for a blackjack online real-money game. However, it can take years of practice to master it and get a really high profit.

The icing on the cake is the live dealer blackjack online, recreating the atmosphere of the B&M casino game. Combining all the best aspects of online and offline games, it is also available on the Canadian King Billy casino website. Read on to find out everything you need to know before you begin to play blackjack online and win real money.

Online Blackjack at King Billy Casino in 2022

Online blackjack in Canada is a very competitive gambling game. Many players choose it for the best gambling experience. If you have never played it, check out some rules before starting.

The Rules of Blackjack

Whichever version you select, the aim remains the same. It is to build up a hand of higher value than the dealer’s one and not to exceed 21 points. Traditionally, the game is played from a single 52-card deck.

With the spread of card-counting technology, casinos have increased the number of decks to 4-8 to make it more difficult for counters to beat the house. The best way to learn the ins and outs is to play the free online blackjack to practice without risk.

How the Game is Played

A round comes in the following steps:

  • Each participant at the table plays against the dealer. You have no opponents but the dealer.
  • The game starts with dealing two face-up cards to each player. The dealer receives one open card and a second closed one to keep the suspense about the outcome of the game alive.
  • Depending on the total value of your cards, you must decide whether to stand, hit, split or double down.
  • The game continues until you decide to stand or exceed 21 points.
  • The dealer is subject to slightly different rules. For example, he must hit until he reaches at least 17.

The Possible Outcomes of the Game

They can be different, depending on your and the dealer’s hand:

  • If you make a hand that is worth more than the dealer’s one, and you don’t exceed 21 points, you win.
  • If you get 21 points, it is a ‘blackjack’. It means that you get a 3:2 payout (or 6:5 in some versions) as long as the dealer’s hand is less valuable.
  • If both you and the dealer have ‘blackjack’, your bet goes back to you (a tie in the game).
  • If you exceed 21 points, you lose.

King Billy offers a few top-rated versions of this game. By joining this casino, you can play blackjack online with friends, share experiences with like-minded people, and win hefty sums.

Catch the Latest King Billy Games

Collaborating with a variety of prominent gaming content providers and aggregators, King Billy regularly adds new releases of blackjack online games to its listing of available options. Introduced relatively recently, Multihand Blackjack Canada has been a real eye-opener for experienced players. The highlight of this version is that you can bet on 5 hands at a time, and the rules of classic blackjack apply with some minor changes:

  • The game is played with 2 packs of cards shuffled after each round.
  • There is no surrender option here, and double down A and 10 is not considered ‘blackjack’.
  • The payout odds offered are standard: 3:2, 1:1, and 2:1 respectively.

With the right strategy, you can achieve an RTP of 99.6%. But as you are playing multiple hands at once, it requires you to have a high skill level. Thus, it is better to start with a classic single-hand game if you are a beginner. Before you begin to bet real money, you can play blackjack online for free to practice.

Best from King Billy: What Version of Blackjack Online to Choose?

Are you looking for the top real money  play blackjack online  variations to win something substantial? King Billy Casino’s virtual lobby has a lot of interesting things for you.

The Top Variations of Blackjack Online at King Billy

Here are a few blackjack online casino games that resonate with many card game enthusiasts:

  • European. Being the most common, it offers stricter rules (both dealer’s cards are open). This makes it not the best option for beginners.
  • Spanish. This version of blackjack online is played with 8 card decks with no 10s in each. This peculiarity adds some extra excitement to the game.
  • Atlantic City. Choosing this variation, allows you to double down after splitting. And the dealer is forced to stand on a soft 17.

Some Other Options to Diversify Your Gambling Experience

Surrender, Pro, 21+3 and some other exciting online blackjack variations await you on the King Billy website. For a more interactive gaming experience, head to the Live section where you will find the version of the game that suits your preferences in terms of gameplay speed, betting range and odds offered.
