Online Blackjack Experience

Generally, the potential payout is quite high on this game because it is easy to understand, so even beginners would know how to avoid losing money. The potential payout on these tables is either 3:2 or 6:5, with the former being recommended because of the higher payout percentage across all varieties of this game.

As for the strategies, there are several to consider. You will find them in any blackjack basic strategy guide under specific names—Martingale, Oscar, flat betting, positive progression, and negative progression strategy. Here is a bit more on each one.

• Martingale: This strategy is usually reserved for high rollers as it can quickly go through the entire bankroll. With it, you double your bet every time you win a hand. While you can certainly use the strategy to win big at blackjack New Zealand, it is undoubtedly risky to keep doubling bets if you play for long.
• Oscar: This method is similar to the previous one, as it includes increasing the bet after each winning hand. However, you are not required to double the bet—you can increase it by only 1% if that fits your bankroll and style of play.
• Flat betting: A recommended strategy as it makes losses minimal while allowing you to bet for a long time. With this strategy, you style your wager according to your bankroll. The wager is 1% of the bankroll, which could be less than $5 or more than $100, depending on how much you want to spend playing blackjack.
• Positive Progression: This strategy requires you to increase your wager by 50% every time you win a hand of blackjack. It is a risky one even for people with lucky stars but undoubtedly thrilling for high rollers.
• Negative Progression: In the negative progression strategy, you increase your wager by 50% every time you lose a hand. This is not something recommended for newbies as it involves spending more money when you lose.
