Classic Micro Blackjack is the perfect way to enjoy this timeless and action-packed card game without sweating over big bets.

The game stays true to Classic Blackjack and the principles that have made it a casino staple for generations while opening the door for players who prefer keeping their stakes modest.
Low-stakes blackjack online has been gaining traction lately because not everyone wants to commit to betting too many chips every time they want to enjoy a few hands of their favorite card game.
Here at PokerStars Casino, we understand that, and that’s why we bring you a version of blackjack that maintains all the excitement of the game without requiring a hefty bankroll.
If you've played blackjack before, you'll feel right at home here. The goal remains straightforward: you need to get closer to 21 than the dealer without going bust.
The game uses eight standard 52-card decks, which is pretty typical for online blackjack variants.
Here's the quick rundown:
Cards 2-10 are worth their face value
Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are all worth 10
Aces can be worth either 1 or 11, depending on what helps your hand
Dealer hits on 16 or less and on soft 17 (that's a hand with an Ace counting as 11)
Blackjack pays 3:2 – a nice traditional payout that some casinos have moved away from
You can double down on any two cards, and splitting pairs is allowed up to three times. This gives you the chance to play up to four hands from a single deal. Splitting Aces, however, is limited to once per hand.
