Online blackjack in Ireland
Blackjack is the casino game where your decisions matter most. Played with basic strategy, it has one of the lowest house edges in the casino, often around 0.5%. This page lists the blackjack games available at the casinos we recommend in Ireland, both digital (RNG) and live.
Variants you will find
Classic and European blackjack, multi-hand games, Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets, Blackjack Surrender and live tables from Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live, including Infinite Blackjack, where any number of players can sit at the same hand.
Rules that change the odds
- Blackjack pays 3:2, not 6:5. A 6:5 table roughly quadruples the house edge.
- Dealer stands on soft 17 is better for you than dealer hits.
- Fewer decks, doubling after splitting and late surrender all help the player.
Basic strategy
Basic strategy is a chart that tells you the mathematically best move for every hand against every dealer card. You can keep it open while you play online. Side bets are fun, but they carry a much higher house edge than the main game.
Note that blackjack usually contributes little or nothing to bonus wagering, so check the terms before playing with bonus funds. Prefer a real dealer? See our live casino page.
