Most of us have developed COVID fatigue by now, tired of being stuck at home and not doing many things we love. However, to combat the spread of this virus, adaptation to our new normal is necessary. And it is surprising just how adaptable we are when we put our minds to it.
While some brick-and-mortar casinos have reopened, many gamblers are reluctant to put in a personal appearance to enjoy their favorite games. Instead, they are finding new ways to play casino games, such as blackjack. If you are a keen blackjack player, here are some ways to play the game without leaving home:
Online casinos
If you live in a US state that permits online gambling, then online blackjack is available. These casinos are easily accessible, and many are optimized for mobile phone use. The interactive format and high-quality graphics make playing blackjack online a pleasant escape from the realities of lockdown. Additionally, online casinos offer bonuses to new and existing players to retain their loyalty. Therefore, you could get a few rounds of blackjack for free, without having to use your betting funds.
Some online casinos have begun offering blackjack games with live dealers. Experienced players say that this is as close to recreating the effect of playing at a physical casino as you could get.
Games with friends
You might not be able to see all your friends right now, but nothing is stopping you from organizing a friendly blackjack game online using platforms like Zoom. Nominate a designated dealer for the session. Your only challenge would be keeping track of how much money you are owed if you decided to play for stakes.
It might not be the same as an in-person gathering but some fun like this sure beats building jigsaw puzzles alone at home on a Saturday night. So, get your chips, dips, and favorite beverages ready and settle in for a night of friendly or not-so-friendly entertainment.
Computer games
It is no fun being stuck at home, but you might as well make the most of it and find ways to enjoy quarantine as impossible as that sounds. If you do not live in a state that has legalized online casinos or are not too keen to put your money where your mouth is, there are plenty of computer blackjack games to play.
All bets are off on such games, and you will not be in line to win a stack of cash. However, that does not mean that you cannot while some hours away honing your blackjack skills for when you get to return to the table. Offline games are for single players, while online games offer single or multi-player options.
