It’s helluva easy to play AceHoyle.com’s free blackjack online game. If you’re reading this sentence, everything you need to play it has already loaded in your Web browser; just like most free online black jack games, all you have to do once you see our free blackjack online game on your screen is select how much you want to bet and click “Spin.”

But just in case you’ve never played free online black jack games before, check out the following directions for a full rundown of how Casino Hoy-ale’s free blackjack online game works:

Step 1: Load the Game

This step’s pretty easy. In fact, you completed by clicking the “Free Blackjack Online Game” link on our Casino Hoy-ale menu page. See that? You’re already on your way.


Step 2: Select Your Bet

Within our free Internet blackjack game’s main window you’ll see four stacks of chips in the lower right. Each represents a different chip denomination in our free Internet blackjack game: $1 (blue), $5 (red), $25 (green) and $100 (black).

To place a wager click on the stack representing your desired denomination, then click inside the verge in the center of our free Internet blackjack game’s table layout. One chip of your selected denomination will appear inside the verge each time you click inside it.

If you’d like to increase or decrease your chip denominations after you’ve already placed chips from another denomination, simply click on the new denomination, then continue clicking inside the verge. If you'd like to remove your bet entirely, simply click the chips on the table and hold the left mouse button, then drag and drop the bet over your unused chips.


Step 3: Commence Deal

Once you’ve placed your desired number of chips or reached the table’s limit ($250) click the “Deal” button – located below the center verge – to set our free Internet blackjack game in motion.


Step 4: Select an Action

Once our free Internet blackjack game has dealt you and itself two cards each, up to four action buttons will appear beneath the center verge:

• If your hand comprises two cards of the same rank, a “Split” button will appear to the lower left of the center verge in our free blackjack game. This option allows you to double your bet and turn your original two-card hand into two one-card hands.
• If you haven’t already taken an action, a “Double Down” button will appear beneath the center verge in our free blackjack game. This option allows you to double your bet and receive one and only one additional card.
• Directly below the center verge in our free blackjack game you’ll find its “Hit” and “Stand” buttons. These two options will continually reappear unless you double down, bust or stand.

Step 5: Play Again

When you’ve completed your action, our free blackjack game’s computerized dealer will take its turn, then reveal its down card, announce the hand’s outcome and pay out your winnings. If you’d like to bet the same amount on the next hand, simply click the “Repeat Bet” button – located where the “Deal” button was – then click “Deal” – which will reappear once you’ve placed your bet.
If, on the other hand, you’d like to bet a different amount, repeat steps 2 and 3.


Step 6: Exit Game

To exit AceHoyle.com’s free blackjack game, click either the “Back” or exit buttons in your Web browser’s toolbar.

Just Because You Can't Play the Best Online Black Jack Games for Real Money Doesn't Mean You Can't Play At All!

AceHoyle.com’s free online blackjack game is modeled on the real-money and free online black jack games offered at the online casinos listed in the sidebar above. Yet there are a few differences between their programs and ours. For one thing, unlike many other free online black jack games, our free online blackjack game doesn’t allow multi-player or multi-hand play; each player plays using a separate shoe and may only bet on one hand at a time.

Another notable difference between Casino Hoy-ale’s free online blackjack and many other free online black jack games is that players don't have to sign up in order to play. Just as our games are cash-free, they're also absolutely form-free. The only catch is that if you want to take part in the exclusive contests mentioned below you will have to pony up an e-mail address via our Hoyle-ites sign-up page. If not, you're free to keep your e-mail address to yourself.

Finally, unlike the real-money and free online black jack games at online casinos, playing free online blackjack at Casino Hoy-ale can actually net you real-money prizes. Although we provide our free online blackjack strictly for amusement purposes – and to give Ace’s American fans a chance to play free online blackjack without breaking any laws – we occasionally hold contests synced to our free online blackjack game that allow players to win official Ace Hoyle ™ merchandise or vouchers for real-money play at online casinos without risking any of their hard-earned dinero. For more information on when and how you can get in on these promotional programs please visit our Contests page.
