Blackjack.com is the ultimate blackjack URL. But is it the ultimate blackjack site? In a word, no.

Blackjack.com offers six varieties of blackjack. No slots. No craps. No roulette. Just blackjack. You can choose Las Vegas Downtown or Strip rules, Reno rules, Atlantic City rules, or play their house game. There's even "Double Exposure". In this variation the dealer shows both cards face up. The player loses tie hands, but wins blackjack ties. BJ is paid at even odds.

Blackjack.com runs Shockwave games so no download is required. The games looked good but I didn't like how, at the end of each round, all the dealer's cards were dealt simultaneously in a clump. It's not realistic, and robs the game of suspense. But I guess they want to get each round over as quickly as possible to squeeze in more hands per hour.

I hit an immediate losing skid -- I hate it when that happens! -- and lost my meager $50 deposit in short order. The $10 bonus I was promised on sign up didn't automatically appear in my account, so I sent an email to Customer Support. A week has gone by and I haven't heard boo. Definitely not the kind of customer service I expect at an online casino.

By the way, Blackjack.com is not accepting MasterCard deposits except via Neteller. Visa, check and bank wire are okay.

My rating for Blackjack.com: A pair.
