Microgaming Blackjack

You may or may not enjoy playing the casino game of Blackjack, however if you do and you have mastered the art of playing any specific variant then below you will find a plethora of facts and figures that should enable you to find a high paying Blackjack game when playing at a Microgaming software powered online casino site.

However the art of playing Blackjack is not only knowing how to play every single hand you get dealt when you are looking at any particular Dealers up facing card, the way to get the absolute maximum winning chances is by only playing the Blackjack variants with the smallest of house edges, and this information is all available on this guide

Top Ten Blackjack Games in Order of House Edge

Below is a listing of the top ten Microgaming Blackjack games which when played with the very best strategy will see those games listed returning the highlighted house edge. The savviest online Blackjack player logged into any Microgaming powered site will stick to playing the first listed game as that gives them the maximum winning opportunities!

Classic Blackjack – You will not be able to play a better Blackjack game online at Microgaming powered sites than their Classic Blackjack game, when played perfectly and with no playing or betting errors you will find this game plays to a 0.13% house edge.

Be aware however, that the multi hand version of this game has a much higher house edge and this is due to that game having more decks of cards in the shoe as opposed to the single deck of cards in the single hand variant which is the one that returns that tiny house edge!

Vegas Strip Blackjack – There is a considerable jump in regards to the value of the house edge on offer on the next best paying Microgaming Blackjack game which is the Vegas Strip variant, and when played perfectly this single hand game boasts a house edge of 0.35%.

Vegas Single Deck Blackjack – You will also find another Blackjack game variant offered at Microgaming powered casino sites which is based on the rules of the game commonly found in Las Vegas based casinos and this is their Vegas Single Deck game, this game has actually been designed to return an identical house edge to the Vegas Strip variant mentioned above and as such its house edge is 0.35%.

Atlantic City Blackjack – You can often find that you are attracted to playing an online Blackjack game due solely to its name, for many players may have visited places such as Atlantic City and found the commonly available Blackjack game on offer there quite attractive and playable. However these regional variants of Blackjack are often games offering slightly higher house edges than other variants.

If you do like the look of the Microgaming Atlantic City Blackjack game then keep in mind when playing it perfectly the house edge is 0.36%, and as such it is certainly not the best variant you can play online!

Spanish Blackjack – The standard Blackjack game playing rules are not in play on the Spanish Blackjack game for a special deck of playing cards are in play and this game offers a range of bonus payouts which whilst they do not require you to place a side bet to win them, make this game a relatively low paying one and as such if you do choose to play this game online you will be up against a house edge of some 0.38%.

Pontoon – Not many people class Pontoon as a Blackjack game, but it is still a game many players enjoy playing from time to time, and should you decide to play this popular card game at any Microgaming software powered site and you play optimally with perfect strategy the game is designed to play out to a house edge of some 0.39%.

Vegas Downtown Blackjack – Whilst the Downtown area of Las Vegas is renowned for being the place to visit if you want the better paying games, sadly Microgaming's Vegas Downtown Blackjack game is not that appealing for due to the playing rules the house edge of this variant is 0.39%.

European Blackjack – One aspect of playing Blackjack at a Microgaming software powered site is that there are quite a number of Blackjack games on which a bonus type wager can be placed alongside your base game bet, and as such you will come across games such as Hi Lo 13, High Streak and Perfect Pairs Blackjack.

Now it is worth noting that the majority of these Blackjack game variants that offer a side or bonus bet use Microgaming's European Blackjack game as the base game, however that side and bonus bet will affect the house edge of the game and often make it much higher than when you play the European Blackjack game variant.

So whilst these additional Blackjack games offering a set of bonus type payouts may seem attractive the 0.42% house edge offered on Microgaming's European Blackjack game is going to be a much higher house edge if you start placing those side bet options, and it is always the case that those variants are not worth playing simply due to the increase in the house edge which will eat away at your bankroll in no time at all.

Big 5 Blackjack – Another low house edge Blackjack game which is probably not going to appeal to many players is the Big 5 Blackjack game found in all Microgaming casino sites, the house edge works out as 0.47% when played perfectly, and whilst higher than some other software suppliers games is it by no stretch of the imagination a high paying game!

Multi Hand Classic Blackjack – It may surprise you to learn that even though the single hand version of Classic Blackjack is the lowest house edge game on offer at Microgaming software powered sites, their multi hand variant is one of the worst paying games due to there being more decks of cards in the shoe, and by playing their multi hand variant you are going to be playing a game offering an unsavoury house edge of 0.59%!
