Now that you have a clear understanding of how to navigate yourself around live blackjack tables at Rooli, you should get accustomed to the common rules of the game as well.
Rules and Gameplay of Live Blackjack
For starters, let us start with the three types of general card values in Blackjack:
- Number cards (2-10): They are worth their face value.
- Face cards (Jack, Queen, and King): All three of them are worth 10 points.
- Ace: This card can be worth 1 or 11 points, depending on which benefits the hand more. Players can determine the value of their own Ace cards too.
Now that you are familiar with the cards and the point system, we can move on to the gameplay:
- In a standard Blackjack game 52 packs of cards are being used.
- As a player, your goal is to beat the dealer by having a hand value closer to 21 without exceeding it.
- To start the game, each player needs to place their bets.
- After that, the players and the dealer receive two cards. The players’ cards are dealt face-up, while the dealer gets one face-up and the other face-down.
These were the starting hands. Let us go through the steps after that:
- There is a possibility that you, as a player, get an Ace card plus a 10-point card for a starting hand, which values a total of 21. This is called ‘Blackjack.’
- If the dealer’s cards drawn after this can not match up to your count, the dealer is paying up. A ‘Blackjack’ or ‘natural’ usually pays 3:1 (unless stated otherwise).
- If you have ‘Blackjack’ and the dealer’s visible card on the table is an Ace, you can choose the ‘even money’ payout, which pays 1:1 without needing to wait for the dealer’s cards’ final value.
What happens if you do NOT have ‘Blackjack’ for a starting hand?
- You, as a player, can choose between a number of actions.
- Hit: If you are not satisfied with your current hand value, you can choose to take an additional card.
- Stand: If you are feeling confident about your current hand and you do not feel like you need to take another card, you stand.
- Double Down: You have the option to double your initial bet value. In this case you must take only one additional card and then stand.
- Split: If your first two cards have the same value, you can split them into two separate hands. This action requires an additional bet.
- Insurance: If the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace, you can decide to take insurance; in other words, place a side bet that the dealer’s face-down card is a Face card. This is to protect yourself against a possible dealer ‘Blackjack.’ If the dealer, by the end of the round, DOES end up having ‘Blackjack,’ you win a payout of 2:1.
- In case you choose to take additional cards and not stand, and the total value of the cards dealt to you exceeds 21, you have a ‘bust.’ Meaning, unfortunately, you have lost the round.
- In every other case, we are moving on to the dealer’s cards.
The dealer’s turn:
- The dealer always plays AFTER the players.
- The dealer turns their initially face-down card upside.
- In case the total value of the now face-up cards is 17 or more, the dealer must stand and not take another card.
- In case the dealer has a count of 16 or lower, they must ‘hit,’ in other words, take an additional card.
When, how, and how much can you win in Blackjack?
You, as a player, can win on two occasions:
- If, as stated before, you have a ‘natural’ (‘Blackjack’). Again, ‘Blackjack’ usually pays 3:1.
- If your hand value is closer to 21 by the end of the dealer’s turn, you have a standard win, which pays 1:1.
Once you have set your bet amount and it has been collected, it can not be returned. The game ends with a payout or a potential loss.
You should now have a clear understanding of the rules of traditional Blackjack. Remember to always check the description of any game you pick from our lobbies since each can have its own set of irregular rules or changes.
Now that you are familiar with the gameplay, it's time to get acquainted with the most popular types of live table Blackjack games we offer.

Popular Payment Methods for Australian Players
Just like everywhere in the world, Australians like to trust their money with companies they use in everyday life and are familiar with.
Here you can find a list of five of the most popular payment options in Australia used at our casino:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- Paysafecard
Visa and Mastercard are easily two of the most commonly used payment methods worldwide. It's no wonder that our Australian players find them one of the most reliable and comfortable withdrawal and deposit options, too.
Apple and Google Pay are favored mostly by those who prioritize fast payments and cashouts. These payment services are also liked by players who prefer gaming from mobile or other portable devices.

Australians also like to use Paysafecard, a virtual wallet similar to Apple and Google Pay. This payment method's main allure is its secure data protection feature. Players can deposit and withdraw money without revealing delicate financial information, such as their bank account number or credit card data.
Aussie players can choose from many other payment services besides the ones mentioned above, such as Neosurf, eZeeWallet, MiFinity, etc. Choosing the one you like and trust is an inevitable part of online gambling, regardless of the user’s game preferences.

Let us break it down for you in the next section of our article.
Online Blackjack vs. Land-Based Blackjack in Australia
Online gambling has taken its hit on regular, land-based casinos in Australia in the past couple of years. Players in today’s gambling world have a number of reasons to choose online gaming instead of a real, personal experience.
Explore these reasons in more detail below.
Key Differences Between Live and Traditional Blackjack
What are the main viewpoints we need to look at when comparing online and land-based blackjack tables in Australia?
Here is a short list of the five main differences we think are important to mention:
- 1. Accessibility
- Privacy and Comfort
- Game Speed
- Atmosphere and Experience
- Variants and Game Selection
Accessibility goes hand in hand with privacy and comfort. As mentioned above, online casinos offer a flexible and easily accessible platform for playing online blackjack from the comfort of your own home or anywhere else using portable devices. This allows players to preserve the privacy of their gaming experience without sharing it with other gamblers at a land-based casino.
For those who prefer fast-paced gaming, online casinos might be a better choice due to a significantly less waiting time, increasing the overall game speed.
While online casinos strive to create a website that is as close as possible to a real-life casino experience, players who crave more social interactions, an engaging atmosphere, visuals, and sounds tend to visit land-based casinos more often.
When it comes to actual gameplay, online casinos thrive in providing a wide selection of blackjack games with slightly different features to make it more engaging and exciting for gambling enthusiasts. In land-based casinos, the options are limited.
Taking all of this into serious consideration, you are right to ask: “Which casino experience is more beneficial for me?” Let’s find out together.
Which Option Is Best for You?
Are you into fast game pace or more likely to enjoy face-to-face interactions instead? Do you prioritize privacy, or do you find a real casino setting more inviting?
These questions are yours to answer, but we can safely say that both options sound quite attractive. We suggest considering what works best for you and how you feel most comfortable playing.
We encourage our players to practice responsible gaming at all times. If you prefer an online blackjack experience with various promotions and a wide variety of games and are ready to embark on an intriguing gambling adventure, we look forward to accompanying you and supporting you throughout your journey.
