Absolute Poker proudly presents the arrival of Blackjack to our tables. You can now easily access Blackjack from our lobby and play for real money at any time of the day. Consult our Blackjack tutorial below in order to get started! Have fun!

The basic strategy for Blackjack is to have the knowledge of the different set of plays in order to maximize your advantage. To play blackjack to win, you should know the basic strategy, as it's unlikely that an inexperienced player could sit down and play the game to his advantage. The average player makes mistakes about 15% of the time, and they cost dearly. An average player who doesn't use a basic strategy can give the house a 1 to 2% advantage.

The following chart explains the theoretical moves you should make according to the hand that you were dealt as well as the dealer's. It is an important tool to use especially when learning how to play blackjack.
