Online Multi-Hand Blackjack is part of the same family as the classic blackjack game, which means the rules are theoretically the same, except the fact that the fun, the excitement and the chances to win are up to five times more significant.

Multi-Hand Blackjack is the most interesting game of chance, a game for the pros, played with five standard decks of 52 playing cards. Players can bet on up to five hands, playing them all independently, one after another. The decks are shuffled before each game. The aim is to beat the Dealer's hand by either getting a better hand without exceeding 21, or by the Dealer's hand going bust.

The first thing a player must do when playing multi-hand Blackjack is to decide how many hands he wants to bet on. On multi-hand Blackjack, the dealer must stand at 17. The player who wins with a Blackjack is paid out at odds of 3:2 on his original bet. And if he has taken out insurance against the dealer's Blackjack, the player is paid out at 2:1.

The player decides the hands he wants to bet and the dealer deals out the cards to as many hands as the player has bet on, plus to his own hand. Then, the player plays each of his hand independently, deciding whether to hit or to stand, to split or double down, surrender or buy insurance. The player can bet different amounts of money and he can use different strategies on each hand independently.

As you can see, the multi-hand Blackjack requires a perfect knowledge of the online Blackjack game, permanent concentration and a good strategy as well. The best way to understand the game is to train yourself as much as you can before playing for real money.
