Seven top blackjack tips:

1. Determine your bankroll before you enter the casino. Stick to what you can afford and never go above this figure.
2. Mastering blackjack basic strategy is absolutely essential if you want to have any success in the game. Study the tables and practice different game variants as often as possible. Trust the rules and not your gut.
3. Skill plays a big part in blackjack success. Practice your game as often as possible. Remember, practice makes perfect.
4. Blackjack rules can vary from casino to casino or even between tables. Be sure that you understand the rules before you sit down to play.
5. When selecting a game/table try to find one with the best player advantage possible. This means fewer decks, being allowed to double any two cards, and having the dealer stand on a soft 17. These rules work to the player’s advantage.
6. Never use an ‘emulate the dealer’ strategy. You will lose far more often with this strategy than almost any other.
7. Finally, when playing in land-based casinos remember to toke the dealer and waitress every so often. See the blackjack etiquette page for details on tipping protocol.
