What\u2019s a Natural in Online Blackjack Games?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When playing blackjack online, the best option is to land a natural or blackjack. That\u2019s a count of 21 on the first two cards, which\u2014as you might expect\u2014doesn\u2019t happen very often. While the game of 21 is certainly strategic and with a bit of strategy you can improve your skills, getting a blackjack on your first two cards is based on pure luck.<\/p>\n

The true odds of getting blackjack depends on a few factors. First and foremost, it involves the number of decks which can range from one to eight (or more). The odds and probabilities vary in this case, but to make things fair, we\u2019ll show you the odds in a single-deck classic game of online blackjack.<\/p>\n

What Are the Odds of Getting a Blackjack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The typical blackjack hand gives you just over 42% chance of winning. That\u2019s more than a fair shot, so it\u2019s no wonder why players love it. But, conversely, on the chances of winning with a natural, the odds of getting it in a single-deck game of 21 is about 4.8%. That\u2019s less than 5%, so you can\u2019t rely on it as a strategy. This means that you must still learn a good strategy, with the basic strategy being the best approach.<\/p>\n

Compared to the odds for a no-bust, standing hand (count of 17-20), or a decision hand (count of 1-16) (chances of 26.5%, 30%, and 38.7% respectively), getting a natural is almost impossible. As mentioned earlier, this is for a single-deck game of blackjack. Other variants that involve a shoe that shuffles several decks of cards will affect the odds negatively as continuous shuffling resets the odds per hand.<\/p>\n

Before you fire up an online blackjack game, it\u2019s best to check the guide. You\u2019ll see how many decks it uses, what its RTP is, and other factors which can give you a clear idea of the probabilities and blackjack odds. All these factors have a major impact on how the game goes and if you decide to surrender or ask for an extra card.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Best Blackjack Game Online?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For beginners, we always suggest going for a single-deck blackjack game. Variants that involve several decks are harder to play. The same goes for live blackjack variants which are for true blackjack fans only. There\u2019s no mistake in live blackjack, so you better learn the rules by heart and sharpen your skills before sitting at a live dealer table in the hope of landing a natural.<\/p>\n
