Last time we introduced you to two simple versions of online blackjack—Lucky Blackjack and Pontoon Blackjack. Today we’ll tell you all about three more blackjack variations—Blackjack Surrender and Blackjack Switch. These are all similar to classic blackjack, but you’ll also get some additional betting, some more creative rules, and hopefully more money as well!

Blackjack Switch is the first one we’ll discuss today. I happen to think this is one of the most fun blackjack versions…maybe that’s because you get to play around with your  cards and create different hands from the ones you were dealt. Here’s how it works, you’ll be dealt two face-up hands, and then if you want, you can switch the top card of one hand with the top card of the other hand, creating two new hands in place of the original ones. Sounds like you’ve got an unfair hand against the dealer, right? Well to even the playing field, the dealer gets an advantage too—if the dealer scores a 22, it doesn’t count as a bust, but as a push against your hand…that is, unless you get a blackjack, and then you win.

The last online blackjack game that we’ll describe (for now at least) is Blackjack Surrender. Here’s another variation where if you don’t like your cards you’ll get to do something about it. After receiving your cards (and before seeing the dealer’s), you’ll get the option to surrender your cards…for a price, that is. In order to opt out of the round, you’ll have to sacrifice half of your initial bet. But hey, if you’ve got a feeling the dealer will win, it’s totally worth it—losing half is better than losing it all!

Have you tried out the different blackjack options on Casino.com? Which are your favorites?

Did you know that there are more online blackjack games than just the classic version? In addition to the traditional game of blackjack, you can also play Lucky Blackjack, Pontoon Blackjack, Blackjack Surrender, and Blackjack Switch, among many others. The possibilities are endless!

In this guide to online blackjack, we’ll give you the lowdown on the most popular online blackjack games available on Casino.com. Browse through this two-part guide and then choose the game that suits you best!

First up is Lucky Blackjack, which is probably the easiest of the bunch. In Lucky Blackjack all you need to do is bet on which point value you think the dealer will get. Instead of getting dealt your own hand, you’ll just place your bet on one of the choices in the middle of the table—you can choose between 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, Blackjack (BJ), and Bust (that is, that the dealer will get over 21).

Think of Lucky Blackjack as a combo of a card game and a table game—it’s a fast-paced game for players of all skill levels.

Next up is Pontoon Blackjack. This version of Blackjack is known as British Blackjack since it’s the version that’s played in Great Britain, as compared to classic blackjack which is what’s generally played in the U.S. and in other countries around the world. There are a few differences between Pontoon and regular blackjack, mainly that you don’t get to see either of the dealer’s cards when you play your hand. Also a 5-card trick (a.k.a. a “Pontoon”) wins a payout of 2 to 1 instead of the traditional 1.5 to 1. Also, a Pontoon beats any hand but the “Blackjack” hand. It couldn’t be easier…or more fun!

That’s it for now, but stay tuned because in our next post we’ll introduce you to two more blackjack varieties—Blackjack Switch and Blackjack Surrender.

Let’s take a look at True Love…that is, the video slot machine game that’s won the hearts of millions of men and women around the world.

There’s something sort of whimsical about this online slot machine game. The colors are bright, yet soothing. The music is calm and romantic (especially if you hit the info button). The symbols on the five reels also give off an air of romance, with diamond rings, violins, chocolates, hearts, roses, doves, and a cherubic Cupid. There’s also a lovely girl—perhaps an angel—who serves as the scatter symbol. When she appears three times on the screen, you’ll receive 15 free spins with a 3X multiplier. You can continue retriggering the free spins.

Cupid is wild and stands in for any symbol except for the girl. If you use the Cupid towards your winnings, you earn double money.

Probably the best feature of the True Love slots is the “gamble” feature. This allows players to combine their love of slots with their love of cards. You can wager all, half, or double your winnings in this card game, and it’s simple—all you do is guess to choose a card (one out of four) that is higher than the dealer’s face-up card. This will always be at least one card higher than the dealer’s…sometimes more. If you choose the card that’s higher than the dealer’s card, you get to play again—this is to your advantage because then your winnings are higher and you can gamble more money. If you choose a lower card, then you lose and return to the slots.

Some more details: There are five reels, 15 lines, and a maximum total bet of $1.50 (that’s a $0.10 line bet). You can set your auto spin to a maximum of 99 spins, but of course you can stop it whenever you choose.

Valentine’s Day wasn’t too long ago…play True Love video slots and keep love in the air a little longer!

Here’s a way for you to win money in an exciting online slot machine game with your favorite Marvel character, Iron Man! The Iron Man graphics take you away from the traditional fruit machines into a world of power, strength, and hopefully a lot of money!

There are two wild symbols in this 25-line, 5-reel online slot machine: a standard Iron Man symbol and one of a flying Iron Man. The wild symbols appear on reels two, three. The symbols combine across the reel when a set of three stacked symbols appear. If you get a wild Iron Man symbol on an active payline you can win up to a 5000 coin jackpot. Two wilds can win a 1000 coin jackpot.

Watching these boldly colored reels spins can be quite…mesmerizing. Obviously there aren’t just the two Iron Man wild symbols—there are a number of other fun symbols, like a portrait of Tony Stark, missiles, and weapon boxes, among many others.

The maximum bid is $2.50 (or $0.10 per line), and as always, you can set the maximum bet easily through the click of the “Bet Max” button. The minimum bet is $0.25 total/$0.01 per line. It really couldn’t be easier or more convenient. In fact, you can set the reels to spin on auto (by pressing “Auto Start”) and the reels will continue spinning and stopping until you decide you’re ready for a break. (You can always stop mid-cycle at your own time-pacing too—you don’t need to let the reels spin until their natural stop.)

You can’t talk about this fun slot machine game without mentioning the Missile Attack bonus round. The screen changes and missiles appear that you need to shoot down. During the bonus round you have the chance to win free spins and multipliers, not to mention loads of cash! You’ll also get the opportunity to win as many as 15 free games! (P.S. You’ll automatically be taken to the bonus round when land three or more Iron Man symbols or logos anywhere on the reels.)

In short, if you’re an online slots fan who also happens to love Marvel comics, then the Iron Man slot machine game is a real winner—hopefully you’ll be a winner too!
