Playing games online is now more widespread than ever and alongside all the match 3 games, or guessing the latest five-letter word, one of the biggest trends is playing online casino games. One of the reasons for this is that the advance in technology means that the games available are packed with special features and in many cases can feel like the player is almost at the casino themselves.

This is because there are several “live casino” options available to players, where instead of playing with an AI¹⁾Artificial Intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by computer based machines.   Although machines can often be programmed to mimic human behavior, the field of AI refers to systems that can perceive their environment and take actions that maximize their chance of achieving a goal. version, they are playing with a real dealer or croupier via a video feed; and what is unfolding in front of them is actually happening and not the result of a random number generator. While both alternatives are typically legit, many players opt for the “real” experience, and rather than just playing on the bus to work, want to create the perfect place to play. Here is a guide on how to set up the perfect space for playing blackjack.

1. The area needs to be free from distractions

To make the most of the experience, the perfect place will need to be out of the way – preferably with a door that can shut out any distractions. Players don’t want to be sat in a location that is the main thoroughfare of the house, or in the kitchen where they will be disturbed every time somebody walks by or wants a snack.

For this reason, playing blackjack on a site such as 32Red online live casino is probably better done in a spare room, or from one of those home or garden offices that are being used less often now that remote working is not as popular as it once was.  A headset can also be used to block out any other distractions.

2. Pick the color scheme carefully

The color scheme will be important, but also highly individual. Some people focus more effectively when surrounded by calming colors, whereas others are stimulated by bright and garish colors that would have others reaching for the headache tablets. The advantage here is that paint color is easily changeable, and if a player finds that orange isn’t conducive to clear thinking, then it’s easy to change it.

While color is also important to furnishings as well, this is one area where style can be sacrificed for comfort – especially if it allows players to relax more (also remember they can’t usually see what they are sitting on).

3. Don’t forget snacks and drinks

No playing areas would be complete without a small (or a large) fridge filled with the player’s choice of drinks, along with snacks – either sat alongside them or in a basket sat on top. This not only removes the need for players to break their concentration and venture to the kitchen and all its other distractions, but also avoids any of the brain fog that accompanies leaving it too long between snack breaks.

Of course, staring at the screen too long does nobody any good, so taking a break for a drink or a snack every so often allows players to keep track of how long they have been playing, meaning they can manage their time more responsibly.

4. Have those basic strategy cards handy

Although you should have memorized blackjack basic strategy by now, it can be a good idea to have the cards or charts readily available.  Just in case you need to make a quick glance to refresh your memory.
