Lesson description
Card counting is possible with online casinos, but there are a few catches. Learn how to count cards in online games of 21 with Mr Blackjack.
Here is a question that I get a lot. Can I count cards when playing at an online casino? The answer is yes, but with a few caveats.
For one, you can't count cards on blackjack games operated on random number generator software.
This software generates numerous options which the game will choose at random. There's no discard tray, meaning the same card can appear whenever.
The software makes the game truly random, meaning card counting won't work.
What you should look for is an online casino that has live blackjack games with dealers that hand shuffle and have a shoe to hold the cards.
The gameplay is the same as blackjack tables in brick-and-mortar casinos, just all live-streamed in real-time. With live games, you can count cards but be aware the gameplay is generally slower too.
Of course, there's always a caveat. Some live dealer blackjack games are better than others. Avoid the ones with automatic shufflers, as this also negates any benefits you get from card counting.
