Blackjack Hero's goal is to be the top blackjack site online. A website, if done the way I like to see it done, is a constantly growing entity, and I don't claim that this is the best blackjack website ever put online, but I hope that it will be in time. Ready to play now? Try these recommended casinos.

Golden Casino - Powered by Vegas Technology, Golden is the classic casino most players are looking for. 100% Bonus up to $555.

Silver Dollar - The casino has been around since 1998, and recently they have remodeled the lobby and game graphics, resulting in a fresh new site.

Rushmore Casino - RTG software, offers a 200% double down blackjack bonus. Professional support and first-class treatment.

Cherry Red - Realtime Gaming powers Cherry Red, and unlike some other RTG casinos, the staff here is very professional.

AladdinsGold - Aladdin's Gold is filled with fun games and a variety of blackjack tables to keep you gaming for hours.

Millionaire - The name is your first hint that the casino is for high rollers. With a $1,000 Bonus and high limits, this is where the big money plays.

OnlineVegas - the first 'Vegas' themed site to make our list, the software brings the trill of Vegas casino games to life. 100% bonus up to $5,000.

So why blackjack? It's the most popular table game in any casino. There are reasons it's popular too:

It's relatively easy to play and understand.
It can be played at relatively low limits.
The house edge is one of the lowest in the casino.
Unlike most games, a player's decisions matter.
If you can count cards, you can actually gain an edge over the house.

Learn How to Play Blackjack (aka 21)

That last point is an important one. There are very few "beatable" casino and/or gambling games. Mathematically, the house always has the advantage. But there are a handful of games in which a skillful gambler (one who has really studied and learned how to play) can get an advantage:

Poker
Video Poker
Sportsbetting
Blackjack

Different games appeal to different people. You're well suited for poker if you're good at reading people, emotionally strong and able to control yourself, and you can make consistently good decisions.

Video poker is a great game for people who enjoy the solitude of slot machines but who also like to make decisions. It's also a good game for people who can consistently make 600 perfect decisions every hour.

Sportsbetting can be more profitable than any of these activities, but it also requires an incredible amount of study, insight, and knowledge in order to be a profitable wager. Most people can't or won't demonstrate the commitment necessary to make that happen.

My thinking is that blackjack is the easiest of these to learn to play well, and if you're completely new to the game of 21, I think you'll find the tutorials and lessons on how to play pretty helpful.

Black Jack Success

The foundations for online blackjack success include knowing how to play blackjack, and knowing a little bit about blackjack strategy. Card counting comes after you've mastered the basics. At the time of this writing, I'm still learning to play blackjack well, although I play better than many people.

But Stephen Covey points out that the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. So I'm doing the reading and the studying necessary to teach people how to play winning blackjack, and I'd imagine by the time I'm finished writing this site I'll be something of an expert player.

A complete novice at blackjack gives the casino a 2% edge over him. Mastering basic strategy can reduce that to between 0.5% and 1%. Counting cards can actually give you an advantage of 0.2% to 1%.

About Blackjack Hero

The menu of text links on the top and the right includes links to the main sections of the site. Most of those pages also have links to dozens of other articles regarding that particular black jack topic.

I've also tried to cover almost all of the major televised blackjack tournament events, including the Ultimate Blackjack Tour, episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the World Series of Blackjack. (We cover all three seasons of the WSOB.) Update, we've just added Season 4 coverage.

Blackjack Hero doesn't just provide information about televised blackjack tournaments - I also provide the biggest and most comprehensive guide to blackjack players available on the Internet. This site features profiles of over 25 blackjack personalities, including historically important blackjack writers like Ed Thorp and Lawrence Revere, and modern blackjack figures like Ken Smith and James Grosjean. I have plans to expand this coverage to include interviews too - if you're interested in being included in our interviews, please contact me. I want to hear from you.

I've recently increased the site's coverage of international blackjack too. Be sure to check out our new articles about free pontoon games. (Pontoon is a UK version of blackjack that's very popular) and free Las Vegas style blackjack tournaments. And you can find additional content I've written about blackjack at Ezinearticles.

Just added: Is Online Blackjack Legal? and Blackjack Myths. Also ways of improving your Blackjack Skills, overcoming Blackjack Weaknesses and information about The SAFE Port Act of 2006.
