The poker players love to argue with casino game fans about games of skill versus games of chance, but one casino game really rewards skill like no other: blackjack. Even a so-so player can do better at the blackjack tables with a little practice…and since the dealers never get any better, that can mean only one thing: you’re closing the gap.

Whether you’re a newcomer or a blackjack master, close the gap at any of these fine, blackjack-focused online casinos:

Rome Casino — with multi-hand blackjack and bets up to $100 (and beyond, with the VIP program), this is a great place for pros. Luckily, free software and low minimums give beginners plenty of room.

Cherry Red — one word: live. Another word? Tournaments. Put them together and you have the best multiplayer, real-time, big-ticket blackjack experience this side of Monte Carlo.

Silver Oak Casino — many casinos give bonuses that only work with slots. Silver Oak takes care of blackjack lovers with a trio of blackjack-only bonuses (all over 100%)!

Online Vegas Casino — we love variety. If you get bored with one flavor of blackjack, try any of Online Vegas’ dozens of alternatives! Not enough? How about tournaments several times per week?

Black Diamond Casino — sounds like a good place for blackjack already. But wait — Black Diamond’s multi-hand options and up to $300 worth of blackjack-specific bonus make it a great place!

Sun Palace Casino — keep your 21 skills sharp with multiple-deck options (set it all the way to “unlimited” for the ultimate challenge) and huge progressive blackjack jackpots.

Rushmore Casino — a blackjack special online casino bonus starts things off right, and live tournaments give you more of that blackjack rush (get it? rush…more? oh, never mind.)

Mansion Casino — live blackjack is great (they’ve got live dealers here!), but how about private tournaments too? Set up your own VIP section for seriously personal blackjack action.

Europa Casino — more live dealer blackjack? You bet! And while you’re at it, throw in the “Elite Challenge” tournament and some of the biggest progressive jackpots we’ve ever seen for blackjack.
