BlackJack Casino

The game of Blackjack has been around for well over 400 years, and over these years it has developed from a very boring, high house edge game into one with dozens of different variants some of which offer the lowest house edge  of any casino game.
When the game was first introduced into the US it was called twenty one and players avoided it in droves! Casino owners decided to give it a quick makeover and offer a bonus payout once a player was dealt an Ace of Spades with any black Jack.
Blackjack Cheats, Card Counters and Collusion

However one thing remained, and that was the fact that Blackjack is beatable by fair means or foul, all manner of cheats have made small fortunes by manipulating the game to their advantage and this had made the game of Blackjack a very labour intensive one with Dealers, Pit Bosses and the eye in the sky operators all taking a role in ensuring the game is honest.

We have a complete section on the ins and outs of card counting so make sure you stop by and check it out if this is something that interests you, but be warned it takes a lot of time and effort to be a good card counter and even longer to become a professional.

Online gambling laws are pretty confusing in most countries around the world. Governments that have tried have at best been moderately successful and at worst have failed miserably. Some have tried to apply old laws drafted before the Internet was conceived, and others have simply put the whole issue of net gambling regulation in the ‘too hard basket’.

In Europe the above difficulties are exacerbated by the added complexity of applying umbrella EU law to a group of EU members pushing different cultural and political agendas and wishing to take a legal approach of their very own, often inconsistent with EU law.

The interesting thing is most operators take the position that if they have a valid online license (eg Malta, Gibraltar, UK etc) they will continue to accept bets from any EU country, regardless of local laws there. Only where they are trying to position themselves for newly available licenses where new regulatory regimes are put in place does this position change.

Take the new French online gambling regulations as an example. Up until recently, French law technically prohibited foreign operators from the market, and yet all major operators accepted bets from French players. Now that French online poker and sports betting licenses are up for grabs, companies that are applying for a license have closed the door to French players while their applications are pending.
