Question by Karren Wente: Best online casino for blackjack and slots, please?
I posted a question earlier about free money to play blackjack at an online casino. I really like the slots too. Where’s the best place for both? The other day I found a casino with different bonuses depending on the type of game that you play. I can’t remember which casino it was, but why would online casinos have different bonuses depending on the type of game you like to play? Doesn’t make much sense to me.

Why does the house edge change for an insurance bet in blackjack depending on the number of decks used?

Because we already know an ace has been removed for the shoe. That leaves the rest of the shoe slightly ten heavy. A greater the ratio of tens in the shoe the more likely the insurance bet is to win. The fewer the decks the greater this effect is. Insuring a 20 (except A/9) increases the house edge on the insurance bet because there are two less tens in the shoe.

What is the expected return in Black Jack if a player wagers all his money in one hand and not having money for split’s or double’s ?

If you can’t double or split that adds 1.9% to whatever the house edge is otherwise. This just goes to show that you should always have double or split money available if you need it.

The house edge in blackjack is very low. Maybe you should increase your bet when the dealer gets 4 or 5 cards, because the cards would likely be small and the next hand would be large card rich?

This is an oversimplified method of counting cards. Better yet, survey all the cards on the table. If you see a lot of small cards, especially fives and sixes and few large cards, especially aces, then raise your bet. If you see the opposite then lower your bet. The fewer the decks the better this will work. Better yet use an actual count system like the ace/five.

Question by tommyboyd42: Online blackjack casinos? Which online blackjack casino sites do you play at?
I am looking to find some new online blackjack casinos because I haven’t been as lucky lately where I normally play.

Answer by ma128au
As far as I know, most online casinos have Blackjack. Blackjack is very popular, so you just need to find a reputable and trustworthy online casino, possibly from an online casino directory so you can compare a large number of them. If your from the USA, try the online casinos at http://www.usaonlinecasinos.org (all of which have Blackjack, as well as many other casino games). http://www.onlinegambling.net is also pretty good, and the domain name is very reputable. I think you’ll find that most online casinos have about the same amount of luck, they are all run by software programs Good luck.

Question by Aaron: Does anyone makes money consistently playing blackjack online?
I have played online blackjack but had problems cashing out. So can someone suggest me some trustable sites to play online blackjack.
Please have been hurted a lot in past don’t want anything to happen again.

Best answer:

Answer by Impulse Crab
ha, good luck. 95% of these sites will give you good odds in the beginning, but once you start betting $ 100+ dollars they fix the game so you can’t get too far.
and considering how online gambling is illegal in the US, all of the companies that have these sites are based in other countries where they cant get in trouble for this.

Question by Mike T: Is there an easy way to memorize the blackjack basic strategy chart?
I don’t really want to have the chart in front of me at the casino, so I’m wondering if anyone has any hints about how to easily memorize the blackjack basic strategy chart? The hard hands are pretty easy to learn, but grasping the concepts behind the soft hands and the pairs isn’t coming as easily.

INTERNET GAMBLING
Home Background Legal Policy Links

Brief History of Internet Gambling
A look at the history of gambling in the United States shows that it has evolved in waves, with public sentiment shifting back and forth from embracing gambling to prohibiting it.Gambling was largely practiced in the early U.S., primarily in the form of lotteries, until it was completely banned in the 1890’s.However, gambling started making a comeback in the 1920’s and was fully legalized in Nevada in 1931, providing American gamblers with an outlet through which to place their bets. Las Vegas remained the primary location for legal gambling until the 1970’s, when more forms of casinos began to be legalized, including riverboat and Indian reservation casinos. In fact, gambling has now evolved to the point that at least some form of gambling is legal in all but two states and revenues from gambling eclipse the revenues from theme parks, video games, movie tickets, and music recordings combined.

With the expansive growth of the gambling industry and the evolution of technology, it is no surprise that the new wave in gambling is occurring on the world wide web. Though internet gambling is a relatively recent phenomenon, it has exploded in a way that few industries ever do. The first online casino began operation in 1995 with an offering of eighteen online games, and since then the industry has boomed at such a rate that an estimated 30 million gamblers visited internet gambling sites in July of 2005 alone. While data about revenues is varied, even conservative estimates have the industry growing from $ 1 billion in profits in 1997 to a staggering $ 10.9 billion in 2006. This phenomena has truly revolutionized gambling, allowing gamblers to place wagers on all sorts of games and events from the comfort of their home. However, the new industry also raises a variety of concerns over how the law ought to properly deal with internet gambling

Answer by Moses
It would be easier if you just named the casino in question. Then I could evaluate the terms and conditions and tell you if it is good or bad casino. Cash back promotion bit sounds like a rogue casino. I might be wrong.

Just click edit on your question and let me know what casino it is.
