Blackjack online casino games have expanded into a variety of different options, thanks to Switch Studios, which created variations of this table game with extra side bets. If you enjoy playing online blackjack in Canada, you’ll find all these titles here, including the latest addition: Premier Blackjack with Buster Blackjack™.

What’s this game all about? Besides the general bets that can be found in most online blackjack games, there are also special side bets that can be placed in case the dealer busts. Plus, different rules for Splitting and Double Down – but we’ll get to that shortly. Here’s a quick overview of this blackjack online game:

• Premier Blackjack with Buster Blackjack™ is played with 8 regular decks of playing cards.
• The dealer will peek on cards valued at 10 as well as Aces.
• The dealer must stand on 17.
• Double down is allowed on any 2 cards and after Splitting.
• A split Ace and 10-value card count as 21 and not Blackjack.
• One of our trending games! We give it a charming 4,5 out of 5.

If you enjoy playing blackjack online, and are looking for something different, then this blackjack game might just be for you. Who doesn’t want to cash in when the dealer goes bust? And that’s exactly what the side bet in Premier Blackjack with Buster Blackjack™ is all about.

The bet sizes?

• Minimum bet is 1.
• Maximum bet is 200.
• Maximum side bet is 125.
• Chip sizes are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200.
• Up to 5 hands can be played at the same time per bet.
• Side bets are optional and can be played on 1 or all hands at a time.

As with most blackjack games online, there are certain standard bets and features that are available when playing Premier Blackjack with Buster Blackjack™, however, avid fans of blackjack games will notice small differences, especially when it comes to Double Down and Splitting.

Insurance

• You can take out Insurance against the dealer getting Blackjack if the first card of the dealer is an Ace.
• Insurance is a bet of half your original bet.
• Should the dealer get Blackjack, the bet will pay out at odds of 2 to 1.
• Should the dealer not get Blackjack, you will lose the Insurance bet, but the regular game will continue.

Double Down

• A Double Down means that you are doubling your original bet on a hand.
• Unlike other games, this online blackjack version, allows you to Double Down on any 2 cards.
• Only one extra card is dealt once this bet has been placed.
• You can place a Double Down bet after splitting a hand.

Splitting

• You can split your hand into two hands when your first two cards have the same value.
• In this version, you can also split two cards of 10-value (e.g. K and Q, J and 10, etc.)
• As you are playing with an extra hand, a bet equal to your original bet will apply to the second hand.

The standard payouts will apply when playing Premier Blackjack with Buster Blackjack™, however there is a Buster Blackjack™ side bet that can also be placed per hand, with various different options and payouts.

The regular payouts are as follows:

• Standard win pays 1 to 1.
• Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
• Insurance pays 2 to 1.

If you’re playing online blackjack in Canada and want to find out more about the side bets, you can simply select this option within the game for a quick overview, or find them below. The Buster Blackjack™ side bet will apply when the dealer’s hand busts (more than 21) and is determined by the number of cards in the dealer’s hand at the time. Here are the payouts for the side bet:

• 8 Cards + Blackjack pays 2000 to 1.
• 7 Cards + Blackjack pays 800 to 1.
• 8 Cards pay 250 to 1.

Premier Blackjack with Buster Blackjack™ was released in April 2022 by Switch Studios as a real money online blackjack game in Canada. It can be played with up to 5 hands at the same time, with optional Buster Blackjack™ side bets.

Available to play at Spin Casino on both desktop and mobile, here’s a quick look at this blackjack online game and how it works:

• Two face-up cards will be dealt to you, while the dealer will get one face-up and one card that is face-down.
• The dealer will peek at his face-down card if the face-up card is valued at 10 or higher.
• The game follows the rules of online blackjack where you will need to get closer to 21 than the dealer, without going over (bust).
• You can split hands, place a Double Down bet or take out Insurance where applicable.
• If the dealer’s hand busts, and you have placed a Buster Blackjack™ side bet, the relevant payout will apply.
