Online Blackjack in Australia

This is the purest form of the game - no extras, no side bets, just you and the dealer. You’re both dealt two cards. One of the dealer’s cards is face-up, the other face-down. The goal? Get as close to 21 as you can without going bust. Aces count as 1 or 11, face cards are worth 10, and everything else is face value. Hit, stand, maybe double or split - that’s all you need. It's the version most people learn on, and for good reason.

European Blackjack looks and feels like classic blackjack but with one key difference - the dealer only gets their second card after you’ve played your hand. That changes how the game flows and how risky each move feels. Also, the dealer is required to stand on a soft 17 (Ace + 6), which slightly tips the edge back toward the player. You’ll usually find smaller decks in this version too, often two instead of six or eight, which can affect your odds if you're counting cards (not that we’re suggesting it...).

If you like mixing things up, Blackjack Switch is worth a go. You’re dealt two hands at the start of every round - and the twist is that you can swap the top cards between them. That adds a whole layer of strategy most players don’t expect. You’ll see more chances to improve bad hands, but there’s a trade-off - a blackjack usually pays 1:1 instead of the usual 3:2. Still, the added control makes it a fan favourite for players who enjoy playing the odds and thinking ahead.

Ever get dealt a hopeless hand right off the bat? In this version, you can just fold and get half your bet back. That’s called a surrender. There are two types: early surrender (before the dealer checks for blackjack) and late surrender (after they check). It won’t be available at every table, but when it is, it can save your bankroll if used wisely. Smart players use it when the odds are clearly against them, especially when facing a dealer Ace or 10.

Perfect Pairs adds a side bet to the traditional blackjack game. Before the cards are dealt, you can wager that your first two cards will form a pair - like two 7s, two Kings, or two 10s. If they match in rank, suit, or colour, you’ll get paid based on the strength of the pair. Mixed pair? Small payout. Same suit and value? Bigger one. It’s a bit of a gamble within a gamble, but it spices up the base game if you’re feeling lucky.

Why play one hand when you can play three, four, or five? Multi-Hand Blackjack is all about speed and action. You can place bets on several hands at once and play them back-to-back in a single round. It’s fast-paced and ideal for players who want more involvement or higher stakes. Just keep in mind that your balance can drain quickly if you’re not careful. It’s best played with a solid strategy and a decent-sized bankroll.
