If you have one of the mobile devices which allows you to access the Classic Blackjack game from Microgaming then this is the best paying Blackjack variant currently offered at any mobile casino site and thanks to the way it has been structured and designed the house edge is a very low and player appealing 0.13%.

There are a few playing hints and tips we can pass onto you should you wish to give this game a try, and by paying attention to them and putting them into your mobile Blackjack playing strategy they should ensure you never make any playing errors!

Insurance – The worst bet you can place when playing Microgaming’s mobile Classic Blackjack game is to take the Insurance wager when offered to you, the house edge on this bet is way too large and taking it will increase the long term house edge this game plays out to!

Double Down – There are only 29 times when you should consider Doubling Down your initial wager when playing Classic Blackjack on a mobile device, and we shall now run through these. Double Down on a pair of fives at all times unless the Dealers up card is a Ten or an Ace and if so you should hit.

This Double Down playing move is the same for a pair of 10’s or an 11 valued hand. If you are dealt a pair of 9’s always Double them down when the Dealer is showing any card other than a seven, eight nine, ten or ace, and if he is hit your hand instead.

Splitting Cards – As you are allowed to split a pair of cards when playing Classic Blackjack at Microgaming software powered mobile casino sites then allow us to show you the cards you should be looking to split when the dealer is showing certain face up cards.

Always split a pair of 2’s or 3’s when the dealer is showing  a card valued at a 7 or below, however do not split a pair of 2’s when the  dealer is showing a two card and you should not split a pair of 3’s when the dealer is showing a 2 or 3 valued card.

You should split a pair of 6’s when the dealers up card is a 6 or lower valued card, also split a pair of 7’s when the dealer is showing any card valued at 7 or lower, and a pair of 8’s should always be split when the dealer is showing a 9 or lower valued card, the same rule applies for a pair of 9’s with the exception of when the dealer is showing a 7 valued card.

Finally should you ever get dealt a pair of Aces then you should always split both of them no matter what valued card the dealer is showing, and as such always make sure you have enough reserves in your mobile casino account to let you make this betting move!

The most commonly available Blackjack game on the mobile web compatible HMTL5 mobile platform form Microgaming is their Gold Series European Blackjack game. This has a slightly higher house edge than the game above and plays out to a set of rules and payouts which makes the long term house edge of this game 0.42%.

Much like when you are playing any other Blackjack game the one side bet wager which you should never take is the Insurance wager for it is a very poor valued bet and one that has a detrimental effect on the house edge of the game when players opt to place this wager.

Doubling Down – You should only double down your initial wager at the right time, and the actual perfect playing strategy for this mobile Blackjack game variant in regards to the double down wager is exactly the same as the Classic Blackjack game above.

Splitting a Hand – The only noticeable difference in regards to when you should split a pair when playing the mobile European Blackjack game variant and the Classic Blackjack variant is when you have been dealt a pair of 2’s and as such you should always split them when the dealer is showing a card valued at 4, 5, 6 or 7.
