Canadian gamblers love their blackjack, but it's easy to see how the same old classic game day after day can grow tiring. This is why I would recommend that individuals play Face Up 21 blackjack for free online. I was incredibly happy to find that the title was available with no download or registration required, and this meant that I could jump right in no matter what operating system or browser I was using. In some venues, the title is also known as Double Exposure 21, though Face Up 21 is the name chosen by Real Time Gaming, or RTG, who is the maker of this exciting variation. The rules are simple enough to learn, and the house compensates for the added advantage to individual players.
The primary variation when it comes to the rules of this title is that players get to see both of the dealer's cards rather than only the one on top. While many believe that this will lead them to make better decisions (and it does), I found that due to the fact that all 'pushes' are considered wins for the dealer, the odds aren't really that much better. In fact, about 8% of all hands will end in a push - or a loss for me. Similarly, the dealer can also hit on soft 17 which makes things a bit more difficult, too. Finally, since I was able to see both of the dealer's cards, I wasn't shocked to see that there is no insurance option with this variation.
