Table Games at the Casino

Blackjack

Blackjack is the most popular online casino table game in New Jersey, and therefore available at all regulated NJ online casinos. Often the game referred simply as 21.

Players start by making a bet. Every blackjack game offered by New Jersey casinos has a house edge under one percent.

Most online blackjack games are generic, and usually, use six or eight decks that they shuffle after each hand. Players may double down on any two cards and after splitting at most virtual New Jersey blackjack tables.

Blackjack at New Jersey online casinos is usually a better deal than live blackjack because the rules are more favorable, and you have the ability to place smaller bets. You can choose any style of game with one click, including Unlimited Blackjack.

The latest innovation to sweep the NJ market is the Live Dealer Blackjack (available, for example, at the Golden Nugget casino) – the games are real-time broadcast from a live studio, while all the betting is done from the comfort of a computer’s home or a mobile device.

Roulette

Roulette is a very popular New Jersey online casino game, because it is easy to play, and can earn you big winnings if you are lucky. All online casinos have American and European wheels, and some also spread some interesting felts with unusual bets.

Most players do not realize how different one roulette table may be from another, and it is not just the number of zeros on the wheel. Some online roulette games use European rules (la partage). When that rule is used, the house edge for even money bets drops in half, because a red/black, odd/even or high/low bet has half returned to the player when the ball drops on the green zero.

The European Roulette, in general, is the best roulette game at New Jersey online casinos, because it has just one zero on the felt. This gives it nearly half the house edge of a double zero game. It gets better for players that like to bet on the outside even-money bets. The la partage or “half-back” rule is used. A player only loses half the wager on even money bets when the zero is called. The house edge for even money wagers is 1.35 percent. All other wagers have a 2.7 percent house edge.

All New Jersey casinos offer a single zero roulette game without la partage, which means that a player loses the entire wager when zero is called. But there is no absolute reason to play this game at a casino that offers European or French roulette rules if you plan to make any wagers on even money bets. There may be a higher minimum bet on the la partage tables to get the advantageous rule, but it is still worth it.

Live roulette is a very slow game. It usually requires a $5 or $10 minimum bet. There can also be confusion with chips at busy tables and slow payouts. Online roulette is much faster than its live counterpart. The wheel is based on a random number generator. Players can bet fast and click rebet to speed the game up.

Removing animation makes the speed almost as fast as a slot machine. The minimum bet is just $.50 or $1 online. There are also single zero wheels, which cut the house edge nearly in half, at New Jersey online casinos.

Video Poker

All New Jersey casino sites offer video poker. The selection is different from casino to casino, but the common theme is the pay tables are better at online casinos than they are at landline casinos.

Another bonus is that the limits are lower at NJ online casinos, and players can fund full pay games at the nickel denomination, while in Atlantic City you need at least $.25, and sometimes even $1 or $5.

There are more than 20 different versions of video poker in the regulated New Jersey online casinos. These games are distributed by IGT, Spin Games, 888 and Amaya Gaming.

IGT owns six titles – Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker, Triple Play Draw Poker, and Five Play Draw Poker. Spin Games offers some of the single-line titles with lower pay tables, except Bonus Poker, which is the same.

The best video poker game at most New Jersey online casinos is Jacks or Better. Nearly every casino platform in the state offers this game. Jacks or Better has an RTP of 99.54% at Golden Nugget, so if you have to choose one casino, this would be the obvious choice.

The benefit of Jacks or Better is that offers the easiest basic strategy. It is simple for a player to learn. Unlike higher variance games, perfect play will make sense to players familiar with the concept of poker.

Of all the games featured on New Jersey online casino sites, video poker and blackjack afford gamblers the best opportunity to see a return on their investment.
