Online Blackjack Variations
Jackpot City Casino offers many twenty-one varieties for players to explore. Most titles only offer real money gameplay, whereas some are also available in demo mode. But before going into the details about the games, below is a bit more on the actual varieties as well as our most popular blackjack games:
- Classic: Classic or American online blackjack entails a table with one or more players and a dealer. The dealer gives each player two cards turned up, whereas they get two cards with one turned down. The players must decide whether to stand, hit, or surrender before the dealer turns their other card up.
- Multi-Hand: In the multi-hand version, you are dealt several hands from the beginning. That allows you to look at all your cards and decide which one you want to pursue if your first bet fails.
For example, Atlantic City Blackjack is a favourite among players because it is quicker than the classic one. It is perfect for Kiwis who want faster gameplay.
- Buster: In this version, players get an additional side bet–the Buster bet. This bet is offered on American or European tables. With it, you bet that the dealer will bust, meaning their hand will go over 21. Depending on the exact cards the dealer gets, it is decided how much every player will get from their side bet.
- Vegas Strip: This variation is excellent for people who want to change things up but are still interested in the classic twenty-one layout. In this version, the best option to win is given to the player with an Ace as the first card. What separates this and classic 21-tables is that the classic variation puts ten as the peek instead of the Ace.
- Atlantic City: When you play blackjack online, you should always look into the Atlantic City variation if you do not want to bet on your luck that day. With this variation, you can call three times, meaning you can get a new card three different times. That gives you a better chance to win.
- European: This is the stricter version of American or Classic 21. The European variation is available at many blackjack casino sites because of its thrill. You get two cards but are only allowed to split once and only if these two cards are worth 20 together. This makes it a bit more challenging to get the perfect 21 hand, but it is still a great betting option.
- Live Blackjack: As said, Jackpot City Casino also has a live dealer section where New Zealand players can enjoy a variety of blackjack games. These have HD graphics and real-life croupiers, giving off the same vibe as if playing in a brick-and-mortar establishment.

Online Blackjack Strategies
Generally, the potential payout is quite high on this game because it is easy to understand, so even beginners would know how to avoid losing money. The potential payout on these tables is either 3:2 or 6:5, with the former being recommended because of the higher payout percentage across all varieties of this game.
As for the strategies, there are several to consider. You will find them in any blackjack basic strategy guide under specific names—Martingale, Oscar, flat betting, positive progression, and negative progression strategy. Here is a bit more on each one.
- Martingale: This strategy is usually reserved for high rollers as it can quickly go through the entire bankroll. With it, you double your bet every time you win a hand. While you can certainly use the strategy to win big at blackjack New Zealand, it is undoubtedly risky to keep doubling bets if you play for long.
- Oscar: This method is similar to the previous one, as it includes increasing the bet after each winning hand. However, you are not required to double the bet—you can increase it by only 1% if that fits your bankroll and style of play.
- Flat betting: A recommended strategy as it makes losses minimal while allowing you to bet for a long time. With this strategy, you style your wager according to your bankroll. The wager is 1% of the bankroll, which could be less than $5 or more than $100, depending on how much you want to spend playing blackjack.
- Positive Progression: This strategy requires you to increase your wager by 50% every time you win a hand of blackjack. It is a risky one even for people with lucky stars but undoubtedly thrilling for high rollers.
- Negative Progression: In the negative progression strategy, you increase your wager by 50% every time you lose a hand. This is not something recommended for newbies as it involves spending more money when you lose.
