The world of blackjack continues to evolve. There are so many blackjack variations now available at online casinos, including Infinite Blackjack, Blackjack Switch, Free Bet Blackjack, and there are even FOBT (Fixed Odds Betting Terminal) variations of Blackjack. You can play blackjack online at pretty much every online casino, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in your pyjamas. Blackjack players have never had it so good. Blackjack games can be played by novice players or blackjack masters.

Here are just a few of the stranger blackjack games I’ve found online – but I’m sure there are plenty more. The basic rule of getting close to 21 remains the same – but each game has its own uniqueness.

Blackjack with Hot Streak Bonus – by Player’s Choice. Blackjack with Hot Streak Bonus is very similar to European blackjack – but it has a side bet too. This Hot Streak Bonus feature accepts a side wager. The second winning hand in a row pays out 1.5x your unique stake when you win. Win again and this payout goes up to 3x and even 6x. When you lose a hand during the streak your Hot Streak wagers are lost. Blackjack with Hot Streak Bonus is highly volatile, but the streak wins when you’re lucky can be huge.

21+3 Blackjack – This 21+3 Blackjack game combines Blackjack and Three Card Poker in one. You can place a side bet when playing blackjack on a three card poker hand – incorporating your two up cards, and the dealers up card. Get a straight flush or three of a kind or flush, and win big money – and your blackjack hand can potentially win at the same time!

Multi Hand Blackjack with 1000x Bonus – 1.5x (3/2) payout for a blackjack is low when compared to the potential payouts on this blackjack derivative. On this multi-hand blackjack game you can play up to 3 normal blackjack hands against the house, with a blackjack side bet on each. If you get a blackjack on any hand with the side bet active, you then press a button that pays from 3x up to 1000x your bet! Imagine putting a $1 side bet on blackjack and getting $1000 back. Yes, it’s possible. Bear in mind that your chances of getting a blackjack on any hand are roughly 1 in 23, so this side bet is volatile. Betting 23 x $1 units ($23) and getting only $3 back is not a good return. I believe the long term average payout on this side bet is about 15/1 ($15) – that’s still about a 30%+ house edge, so bet carefully (if at all).
