Golden Palace Online Casinos recently announced they will continue to offer their online casino games to US residents, and they have also added tournament blackjack to their list of games.
Tournament blackjack is the latest big thing in the online casino industry. Tournament blackjack combines the popularity of blackjack with the skill of online tournament play. Players play against each other instead of the house.
In standard blackjack, players use their hand to compete against the dealer’s hand. In tournament blackjack, players are really competing against the other players on the table. Players must use strategy and skill and a little bit of luck never hurts – the winner in tournament blackjack is the player with the most chips at the end of the final level of play.
Players pay an entry fee into the blackjack tournament, and receive a set number of chips each. They then gamble these chips against the dealer, and the player with the least amount of chips after a predetermined specific hand is eliminated.

Every day, I sit at the blackjack tables and watch players gamble money away by making stupid black jack mistakes. Many of these people seem to be quite experienced at the black jack game and are playing for serious money. When they come out of nothing with some of these beauties I have to wonder “What were they thinking?”
I want to point out the flaws in so many players’ logic - maybe yours. Here are some actual examples that I observed again and again. Try to figure out why these players did what they did.
The dude next to me had 9 against the dealer’s 4 up for $25. He paused and considered doubling down, but appeared to be afraid to put out the extra money on such an insecure gamble. Finally, he just motioned for a hit and caught a coveted 10. Winning with 19, he now put up $50 on the next hand.
“How interesting” I thought. He didn’t want to risk the extra $25 when he was a 3 - to - 2 favorite, but he’s willing to put up that money now on a totally blind hand. The next time you have what appears like a risky but great double, think about it - because you’ll win the extra bet on the double more often than you’ll win the next random hand. That’s part of why it’s a correct double down.
Here’s another interesting behavior that I see often. Most players will simply take a hit when they have 8 against a 5 or a 6, such as with 5/3 or 6/2 - and that’s the correct basic play. But when they have 8 in the form of 4/4, they somehow seem to have this urge for doubling down. Somebody please explain to me how 4/4 can possibly be a better double than 5/3 or 6/2? Fact is, when you have 4/4 against a 5 or 6, the right play is to split. That’s because you will now have eight shots at an advantageous double down (by catching a 5, 6, 7 or Ace on either 4).
Next comes what should be a classic example of what never to do. The player on my left had $100 bet and was dealt 11 against the dealer’s 8 up. Being too conservative to double down all the way like he was supposed to, he slid a measly ten extra bucks out next to his hundred and doubled for less. Have you ever done anything like this?

If you’re in a casino and determined to gamble, then play black jack online is your best bet. If you play a strategy, this game has the odds stacked against you the least. Playing slots is like giving money away, but you can have a pretty long and decent run with play black jack online.
Another advantage Blackjack has is that it does force you to think, even if it means finding the optimal card strategy. To me this small amount of thinking is preferable to the mindless mechanics of slots for example.
Unlike poker Blackjack doesn’t require you to compete against other players. All players play against the dealer. Since the dealer works for the casino and plays according to fixed rules, there’s little chance of competition among participants.
