Just about every online casino offers Blackjack these days. Some even offer several different Blackjack varieties and variations with side bets. But the question remains, when an online casino offers Blackjack, does that necessarily make it a "Blackjack Casino" per say? Everywhere you go online, it seems there are Blackjack portals and review sites, even the casinos themselves, claiming to be "Blackjack Casinos". However, when you take a closer look, there's nothing really offered other than one or more Blackjack games.
 

This isn't to say that a blackjack casino should only offer online blackjack and nothing else. But, it should at least offer some extra incentives for playing online blackjack. That said, a true online blackjack casino should be one that, in addition to offering online blackjack, is one that offers online blackjack tournaments and blackjack bonuses. Blackjack bonuses and tournaments are sure to attract experienced blackjack players and novice players alike.

Those casinos that deservedly qualify to be called online blackjack casinos are listed and reviewed below. Our most highly recommended blackjack casinos come from the Isagro Holdings online gambling network. Powered by CFG fairness certified RTG software, governmentally licensed in The Netherlands, Antilles and managed by a dedicated customer service team in Nicosia, Cyprus, Isagro Holdings is a respectable and trustworthy establishment.
 

Real Time Gaming Blackjack Casinos:

Rushmore Casino - Isagro Holdings flagship and inaugural online casino, Rushmore Casino, has become one of the top USA facing betting sites, not to mention RTG powered online casinos in business today. Their online blackjack bonus is also worth 200%, but up to $1,000 Free total on the first deposit. A 50x wager requirement also governs this bonus before it can be cashed out. Bonus Code: DOUBLEDOWN. More information on Rushmore Casino can be read at this Rushmore Casino Review. Rushmore also offers regular live online blackjack tournaments. In fact, the only tournaments offered by Rushmore. Between the blackjack bonus and only hosting blackjack tournaments, Rushmore is near the top of the list when it comes to blackjack online casinos.

Cherry Red Casino - The newest of Isagro Holdings online casinos, Cherry Red Casino offers one of the largest blackjack bonuses online. It is worth 200% up to $1,200 free on the first deposit and has a wager requirement of 50x (very reasonable for online blackjack). The bonus can be claimed by using one of several deposit methods, including credit card, Click2Pay, eWallet Xpress and UseMyWallet. Bonus Code: BLACKCHERRY. More information on Cherry Red Casino can be read at this Cherry Red Casino Review.
 

Regarding online blackjack tournaments, Rushmore and Cherry Red are tied into the same tournament feed, thus giving their prize pools even greater value. Both single table and multi-table tournaments can be played around the clock.

Mano a Mano and Sit 'n Go's are available in single table fashion. Mano a Mano goes for ten rounds and the winner takes all. Sit 'n Go's require a minimum of three players, a maximum of six, last ten rounds, and pay out to the top two finishers. Prize pools are listed for each game in the tournament schedule.

Multi-table tournaments, naturally, are where larger payouts can be won, which depends on the number of participating players. In the case of Rushmore and Cherry Red - both very popular online casinos - the winnings can get into the thousands. Multi-table blackjack tournaments are always scheduled and posted in advance on the tournament schedule.
 

Both casinos also offer a weekly Victory Points Tournament and a monthly Loyalty Points tournament. Both types of tournaments can be entered with victory or loyalty points, which can only be earned by participating in blackjack tournaments.
 

Other blackjack tournaments offered Rushmore include Sweet 16's, Oscar Wilde Wednesdays, Happy Hour Thursdays, $2 Buck Chucks, and $11 Midnight Flight Thursdays.

Progressive Jackpot Games:

The one thing you will not find at RTG online casinos like Rushmore and Cherry Red, are progressive jackpot blackjack games. Several other top-shelf online casino software developers do indeed offer progressive jackpot games - each with its own unique set of similar rules. These software developers include Cryptologic, Vegas Technology, Playtech and Microgaming, with Vegas Technology casinos being the only one's open to U.S. players at this time. Go Casino is one of the best Vegas Technology powered casinos, while Casino Tropez is quintessential Playtech and 32Red is an excellent Microgaming powered, blackjack friendly online casino. As for Cryptologic, the one and only InterCasino is a top destination for players.
 

Other good online blackjack options (although not open to U.S. players) are Playtech Software's tournament network, aka, Elite Challenge (See details at Casino Tropez). Microgaming Software has the most blackjack titles in their portfolio (approximately 40 blackjack games). Again, one of the top destinations to play them all is 32Red, which is one of the top eCOGRA approved, UK online casinos in business since the late nineties.
