How To Select the Right Blackjack Table

When joining a game of blackjack, you have to select a table that you will join. Selecting a table is not as easy as picking the first available blackjack table that you see. You also have to use some tips from blackjack experts when choosing which table you should play on.

If you are new to playing blackjack, before joining a table, watch the players bet and play in the game. This will help you understand the basic rules in blackjack and other special rules that are used for the game. You will also be able to understand better which blackjack variant is being used.

Another important thing that you need to check when selecting a blackjack table is how much are you willing to bet. For a blackjack newbie, just like in any gambling game, it is always best to start with smaller bets. In most casinos, the lowest blackjack bets that are possible are either three dollars or five dollars. It is easy to look for these blackjack tables since these tables are usually the most crowded of all the blackjack tables in the casino.

Interestingly, blackjack tables are color coded according to the blackjack bets. For example, three-dollar and five dollar tables are red. The twenty five-dollar tables are green. And the tables with a one hundred-dollar minimum bet are black.

Before betting, make sure that you are really betting at a blackjack table. In a casino, it is possible that tables for different card games are next to each other. This is done so that players will be encouraged to try the other games, especially if they hadn't been lucky in blackjack. It is almost always that blackjack tables are printed with "blackjack pays three to two.

When selecting a blackjack table, also consider the number of decks being used. For a beginner, it is best that you join a blackjack game that uses six to eight decks. This is better because all of your cards will be dealt face up. When you become better in playing blackjack, try betting in blackjack tables that use less number of decks. The casino advantage will be lowered and your chances of winning will be increased especially if you have learned card counting.

Beginners should really be careful in selecting the blackjack table where they would bet. Doing a careful selection will save them some money and will help them learn the game as they increase their chances of winning.
