Bring the Thrill of Casino Blackjack Home

By Matthew Sagehouse

How interesting and fun would it be to have a casino style Blackjack game at home? You can host your very own Blackjack game. All it takes is a little education along with some good planning to ensure that you and your friends will have a great time.

Choosing one of your more flamboyant friends to be the dealer will add to the home game experience. If you are the dealer you will likely have more chips at risk than the other players, however you need to be reserved and friendly while winning or losing, much like a dealer in a casino.

Don't go cheap on blackjack supplies. The most basic items you need are playing cards and poker chips. There are some other items you will also need, if you want your game to have a casino feel. All of the blackjack supplies used in casinos are available in home versions and are not very expensive.

Starting with the table, you can go completely economy with a simple felt layout for around $15 or a blackjack table top as low as $50. However if you prefer to start with a real table with padding under the felt and some sort of legs, these are available anywhere from $150 to $800. There will also be some shipping cost.

Now that you have all of the basic supplies you need why not consider getting a little more education about the game of 21. You should consider a blackjack instructional book to hone your skills. This investment will cost you around $20 but will be well worth it.

Something else that you might consider is an educational black jack DVD to help you understand more about this popular casino game. You can receive the advice of a blackjack pro in a fun and exciting production. There is always more to learn and room for improvement in your game.

How will you shuffle all of these decks of cards? Never fear, there is an economical solution. Consider a battery operated automatic card shuffler. These handy devices have capacities ranging from 2 decks to six decks and do a decent job for the money. The most expensive automatic card shuffler is around $15.

Other supplies that you might think about purchasing are cut cards to mark your reshuffle point, a dealer visor to cut down on glare and a blackjack table cover to keep the dust off your table between games. All of these blackjack supplies will help your game to go smoothly and ensure that you and your guests have a great time.
