High Rolling in Online Blackjack: What You Should Know

CardsThe online casino landscape in the UK is changing big time, folks. The changes are subtle, they’re not happening overnight, you might not have even noticed that they’re happening, but they’re most certainly real. As you know, the biggest chunks of online casino revenue come from two groups of people: The newcomers who sign up once, deposit 20 quid and then never play again, but in turn they come in droves; and from the hardcore high rollers who spend hundreds of pounds per bet. The “middle men” who only play every once in a while aren’t really that essential in the grand scheme of things, which might be hard to hear, but it’s the reason why often it feels like us regulars are getting the shortest end of the stick in most casinos. Unfortunately, there’s a bit of a paradigm shift going on. Less and less people are interested in giving online casinos a shot, and the UK government is most certainly not helping things along. As a result, many casinos are being forced to very subtly start pushing for more high rollers in order to make up for the revenue lost by the lack of newcomers. That’s why, within the next few years, online casinos will become meccas for high rollers.

For many people this isn’t exactly optimal, since those who aren’t interested in high rolling or can’t afford it are probably going to feel like they’re being pushed to the sidelines more than ever. But for those of you who are either aspiring high rollers or already quite versed into the art of betting outrageous amounts of money, things are going to be looking better than ever, especially if you’re looking to play blackjack. The most import thing about high rolling is that, by its very nature, it’s a high-risk, high-reward system, which meshes with blackjack perfectly, unlike other casino games like roulette and slots which rely on multiple smaller bets, making them low risk, low reward. Sure, there’s a 49% chance that you’re going to win depending on how you bet, but you’re also not going to win very much, and the limits in a lot of casinos tend to be low, limiting your ability to play effectively. On the other hand, the highest limits for blackjack online are more than big enough to satisfy even the richest of the rich.

So if there are a few things that I wanted to let everyone know through this article, it’s these: The online casino paradigm is shifting in favour of high rollers, and very soon they’re going to have the advantage over everyone else. And once that happens, blackjack is going to statistically be the best game to play, given its very nature. Keep that in mind, and do send me a tip when you make it big on the blackjack table!
