This was my first experience with European blackjack, and I found it to be an interesting one, to say the least. Although the game follows traditional European rules, Canadian players will likely find themselves right at home after just a few hands. We have made this game available right here on our website, and the best part is that you can play for free with no download and no registration. All you have to do is click 'Play' and get started. I was impressed with the graphics and sounds, and I found that this play European blackjack game from Microgaming was a great introduction to this variant.
I noticed the first difference in this game the minute the cards were dealt. While the dealer normally get two face-up cards and the dealer gets one card face-up and one card face-down before play begins, the dealer didn't get a hole card until after I had made my first move. I also found that I could only double down on hands that total nine, 10 or 11, but I'd seen this in other variations of blackjack, too. Finally, the dealer is required to stand on a soft 17, something I thought helped to level the playing field a bit. Another thing that I really liked about this game variation is that there were plenty of customizable options here despite the fact that it is available for instant play. I found that the Autoplay setting was right on target, and the ability for me to adjust sounds or even turn certain sounds off completely was appreciated.
