How to win at blackjack is a difficult question to answer, as it is more a question of how much. This same question applies to other casino games, either online or in a land-based casino, when a player begins to realize that he will very rarely win a fortune on a day's play, but that he does have a chance of winning consistently playing online blackjack for real money.

The unknown truth is that casinos like to see players win money, and that applies both to online as well as land-based casinos.

Why do you think bells ring and sirens sound when a player hits a major jackpot at slots in the casino? And there is no less of a fuss when a player hits a major jackpot online, especially a progressive one. This is great publicity for the casino and draws a lot of new players to try their luck.

What casinos don't like so much are players who win consistently and quietly. And there are plenty who succeed in doing so, especially online, and while playing blackjack.

When a player sits down to play blackjack at the online casino, he is playing against a computer program and not the random and uncontrollable mess that he usually has to contend with by playing in a land-based casino.

Playing against a computer means that a fairly comprehensive set of statistics covering each hand can be built up and studied. A player with a basic understanding of statistics and who is prepared to study his gameplay history might be capable of recognizing a pattern in the play and learn from it.

Even if while playing as a guest player until he gets it right, the time spent will mean a great investment and he should be able to assemble a game plan that can be very effective in long term play. The basis of the blackjack game plan should consist of the following:

• Never draw on cards valued at between 12 to 16, no matter what the dealer is holding.
• Never double when the dealer is holding a 9, 10 or Ace.
• Never split cards when the dealer has a 9 or 10.
• Always split 9s when the dealer is holding cards valued at between 3 and 7.

Using these rules, as well as applying common sense, controlling your play and being content with winning an average of 10% on your investment, are the basic building blocks you can use on how to win at blackjack in the long term.
