Blackjack is a classic that never goes out of style. If you want to try a new blackjack variant, but you don’t know where to start, here are a couple of recommendations at NetBet Casino.

Blackjack Single Deck

The game of 21 is typically played with several decks – 6-8 of them more specifically. But, there is a variant where you play with a single deck. While it doesn’t drastically change the original rules of blackjack, it makes crafting a strategy much easier.

The main goal remains the same. Sitting opposite the dealer, your goal is to beat them in a game of 21. You begin by choosing a bet and hitting the play button, after which the dealer will start dealing cards.

In this variant, they must hit on a soft 17. Players can split hands up to 3 times, and only aces can be split. You get paid 3:2 on a natural win, while Insurance pays 2:1. Any regular win pays 1:1.

Thanks to the fact there’s only one deck of cards in play, you’re at an advantage. There are simply fewer cards in one deck that can make you go bust, and that’s why this is a variant players love. It’s especially suitable for beginners too, as it’s the easiest to play and widely recommended to start honing your skills.

Multihand Blackjack Perfect Pairs & 21+3

In a game of blackjack, players usually play one hand per round. But, there are variants where you can play several hands at once if you like a bigger challenge. That’s the case with Multihand Blackjack Perfect Pairs & 21+1.

The name implies the type of blackjack game (multihand) and the side bets you want to place, making it a better fit for experienced players. Despite the fact that you’re playing several hands at once, the goal remains the same. You need to get close or equal to a count of 21 without going bust.

Rules are standard, with the dealer standing on a soft 17. The rules imply that you can play up to 3 hands and put your money on the Perfect Pairs or 21+3 bets. If you choose the first, you have a separate paytable for crafting the perfect pair. This side bet doesn’t rely on you winning the round against the dealer, and so does 21+1. Side bets in blackjack are not a common sight, but they can be rewarding, so try them out if you can.
