What is European Blackjack?



European is where the blackjack was born. That is why European Blackjack is one of the popular blackjack variations for Malaysia Online Casino poker players. Like a traditional poker game, it is a game where players are betting against the dealer but dealer takes his hole card after dealing the cards to players.

Besides, card value of poker cards are definitely the same as those in other blackjack game. However, there are many rule changes that players need to take note. For instance, usually European blackjack is played with 6 decks of cards and they are re-shuffled after every round but players can find variants with 4 or 8 decks.

Another difference between Malaysia Online Casino European blackjack and traditional blackjack is splitting might not be allowed. It depends on the casino that players choose to gamble at. 

According to general rules, splitting a pair of 4s, 5s and 10s is prohibited. This is because casino want to ensure players will not take advantage of dealer’s weak hand and split these three hands. Other than that, splitting gives players more opportunities to create two hands and make an extra bet. In addition, aces can be split two times for the three hands. If players want to split the aces, make sure they do that once per hand and they will receive one card for each split hand.

On the other hand, dealer is not allowed to have a look of the face down card until all players decide their next move. Players can double down if the hand totals 9, 10 or 11. Dealers are required to hit on a soft 17. For a surrender bet, Malaysia Online Casino players can receive 50% the amount of their initial bet back only when dealer does not hold an ace.
