A previous blog post made about Blackjack myths dealt with three very common blackjack myths observed. Here are three more as there are actually quite a number of these myths “terrorizing” online gamers.

 

Myth 1 – Online casino blackjack games are rigged

 

There are those who believe that online casinos rig their software to let new signed-up players to win money on their first few games. This will ensure that new players are “hooked” into playing blackjack and could start betting higher. When this happens, it is said that a website admin triggers a switch to make the gamer play against a rigged deck. During a rigged deck game, the dealer gets either a 20 or 21. In fact, Online casinos’ blackjack house edge and use of Random Number Generators (RNG) software ensure that online blackjack games are not rigged.

In brick and mortar casinos and online casinos, decks or shuffles are regularly checked to ensure that the proper cards in play and that they are random. Where brick and mortar casinos have official inspectors checking the decks in play, online casinos are checked at random times by gaming authorities. Suffice to say, a brick and mortar blackjack player is more likely to encounter a rigged gamed than an online blackjack player.

 

Myth 2 -Online Dealers Cheat

 

Some say that online casinos can come up with any card that the dealer wants to win a game. They say that if a player gets a blackjack, the dealer can easily get a blackjack too. It is also possible for a dealer to get a 20 if a player gets a 19. In other words, a player will not win whatever he does as the house will always be on top no matter what.

The reality is that all decks can run cold or hot. It is therefore possible to experience a succession of losing hands as it is possible to have a succession of winning hands. Why would a live dealer cheat anyway? Doing so will totally jeopardize the online casino and their license.

 

Myth 3 – Online Casinos are Boring

 

It has been said that playing in online casinos is no fun – which website owners do not care about players that frequent their site. The fact that there are no famous gamblers playing in online blackjack, and no free food, drinks or accommodation afforded gamers make online blackjack less interesting and fun.

Free drinks and food are nice perks when one is playing in a brick and mortar casino. But, real gamblers play blackjack not for the freebies and perks but for the thrill of the game itself. Online gamers play online blackjack not for the free stuff but for the nonstop action and money making potential.
