It's one of the most popular online casino games around the world and has been for a couple of centuries, most likely.
Explains why we have 17 different kinds of it.
When you play blackjack online, you don't want all the noise that comes with gimmicky games. You want what Lucky Rebel stands for: value, trust, clarity. No fluff, no filler.
Clean tables with high limits. Clear layouts, so when you sit down at a virtual blackjack table, you understand intuitively and instantly how to place your bets and make your choices at each step of the hand.
Online blackjack at Lucky Rebel is for real players. You know the main blackjack strategies, the times to double down, to stand, to hit.
And Lucky Rebel's blackjack line-up covers all the ways you can make real money.
The goal of online blackjack at Lucky Rebel is the same as it has been since the game started somewhere in the 1700's: Get as close to 21 without busting, aka going over.
Card values are the same as shown on numbered cards, 2 through 10. Aces can be worth 1 or 11, and face cards Jack through King are each worth 10.
The dealer is the person you need to beat, no one else. If you can beat the house, you win the hand. If you hit 21 or at least have more than the dealer, you also win.
Losing comes if you take one card too many and go over 21 total, or if the dealer's cards are worth more than yours.
As a core dealer play rule, the dealer is forced to hit if they're showing 16 and has to stand at 17.
At Lucky Rebel, your online blackjack experience is under your control.
Once you choose a game and a table, the bet amounts and all other buttons needed to play a hand are easy to locate.
With classic digital blackjack, the game speed is fast. Hands can de dealt and decided in seconds, but you can slow it down when you need to think too. Lucky Rebel players can be fast but they're also under control.
Live dealer games are there for a more realistic casino feel. There's a handful of tables to choose from 24/7, and you'll see the table limits and the dealer right there on the game card, before you even click on it. You can expect a slightly slower game speed, more like an actual casino, since there's a human dealer to interact with.
Table limits range from $1-$500 for digital blackjack tables, and $5-$5,000 per hand with live dealers.
Lucky Rebel's blackjack games are for real players who want a pro look and feel, smart layouts with no extra noise, and high limits. Freedom.
The house edge is usually printed right on the virtual felt so Lucky Rebel blackjack players know what to expect going in.
A 3:2 payout gives players the best odds since it has the lowest house edge. Lucky Rebel's 3:2 pay-outs are found with Classic Blackjack (6-Deck), where the house edge is 0.5%. Other variants have different payouts and house edges ranging from 0.3%-0.8%, with side bets pushing it to 3%-10% or higher.
No guts, no glory? Sure, sometimes. Lucky Rebel players know how to test their blackjack limits. But it pays to keep your head for steady blackjack returns.
Side bets are tempting in blackjack. They're sitting right there and they don't take any strategy. They're a gamble on what's in your hand or the dealer's. A virtual coin toss that can sometimes pay out large amount like 25:1 or 30:1.
You'll see them with names like Perfect Pairs, 21+3, Royal Match.
Insurance, where you're betting that the dealer's hole card is a 10 when they're showing Ace, is actually a side bet instead of true insurance.
Side bets can add some flash and a few extra seconds of a rush, especially if they hit, but they aren't a long-term strategy.
It usually has the best house edge, plus it's the game every player started with back in the day. Online blackjack at Lucky Rebel gives it a modern twist that makes it easy to bet and can be played from anywhere.
Players like Zappit because they get a do-over on the initial deal, "zapping" a rough hand for new cards. Dealers get to push up to 22 though, so the house makes up the edge it loses on the replacement cards.

The graphics and the intuitive gameplay layout all draw you in. The pace is more what people get in Vegas too, so there's more time to keep your head and stick to your plan.
