Gaming Strategy
Elimination blackjack is a tournament game and the objective is to beat fellow players as quite in contrast to other blackjack games where you aim at beating the dealer.
You do not loose completely just by not being able to finish number one but you still beat other players who are behind you for which you win some prize.
Betting - It is better to bet more aggressively instead of being timid which may see you being eliminated sooner rather than later.
Monitor your position - Because in elimination blackjack the player with the lowest number of chips is often eliminated, you need to monitor the bets of players who you bet after, i.e. those to your right and ensure that you stay ahead of them.
Calculate the Button - You must consider your position in the tournament and be able to count the next hands before another elimination after one player has busted so you can know your position and prepare sufficiently. If you are next to play bet more aggressively.
Count Chips - Since the number of chips determines who is eliminated, pay much attention to provided chips count and act accordingly to avoid the elimination chamber.
Be flexible - Elimination Blackjack may require you at times to be very flexible and make such moves as splitting tens or doubling down on hard 19 if this might increase your chips.
