What is Live Blackjack?
Blackjack is a card game that sees players attempt to get as close to 21 without going over, competing against the dealer directly instead of others at the table.
This simple format has seen it become a casino staple, so it's no surprise that, as casino games have become available online, this type of game has followed suit. With technological advancements, it has become easy to play a variety of Live Blackjack games on online gaming websites such as Betsson.
Why play Live Blackjack?
One of the main draws of Live Blackjack is that the game is incredibly easy to play. This simplicity makes it an ideal game for everyone, from veterans right through to live casino novices.
As well as being easy to understand, there are plenty of games with their own twists on offer to ensure that you never get bored. Plus, the cutting-edge technology means that Live Blackjack games are as easy to use when playing on the Betsson website as they would be to play in a physical casino, allowing players to concentrate on having fun.
How do you play Live Blackjack?
Players are dealt two cards and can either ‘hit' meaning they will be dealt another card or ‘stick’ meaning they are satisfied that the value of their cards will be higher than the dealer’s. However, if they go over 21, they will go ‘bust’ and are out of the game.
The dealer will then be allowed to draw cards until they reach a value that they are forced to ‘stick’ on. Usually, dealers will stand on a soft 17, meaning if the player’s hand is above 17 and does not exceed 21, they have won the hand and will receive a payout.
What are some popular Live Blackjack games?
Although there are plenty of Live Blackjack games to choose from, some of the most sought after at Betsson are Infinite Blackjack, ONE Blackjack, Live Dealer American Blackjack and Live Blackjack. Each game takes the fun of classic blackjack and adds its own unique twist.
Infinite Blackjack
While Live Blackjack traditionally limits players to the number of seats at a table, Evolution have created Infinite Blackjack, which as the name suggests is designed to accommodate an unlimited number of players at a single table. This eliminates the frustration of being turned away from a busy table and ensures that the action is non-stop.
Besides the unlimited number of potential players, Evolution have designed Infinite Blackjack to operate under the standard rules of the casino staple. This makes it easy to understand, and those with even the most minimal knowledge of the game can quickly and easily get in on the action.
Of course, immersion is the name of the game for any Live Blackjack game, and this one is no different. Evolution has made excellent use of the technology at their disposal to create a seamless experience that recreates the feeling of being at a physical casino, with high-definition live streaming, multiple camera angles, and professional dealers.
ONE Blackjack
Coming to you from Bucharest, Pragmatic Play’s ONE Blackjack is a Live Blackjack game that stands out. Although it follows the classic rules typical of standard titles of this ilk, this game has a maximum payout of 2,000x your base stake, making it especially ideal for those seeking the maximum winning potential, although it also suits lower-paying players as well.
Of course, this isn’t the only draw to ONE Blackjack. While the standard game is available, Pragmatic Play understands that they must include other gameplay elements to help their game stand out from the rest. To this end, they have given players the opportunity to place a wager on a number of side bets.
Perfect Pairs see players gamble on the chance that they will receive a pair in their first two cards. Meanwhile, the Bust Bonus will, as the name suggests, see players win money if the croupier goes bust. Finally, the Crazy 7 side bet will see players get paid if they get at least one 7 in the initial draw.
Live Dealer American Blackjack
Stakelogic’s Live Dealer American Blackjack stands out from the competition with its intriguing take on Live Blackjack. While it operates in the same way as standard games, players who participate in this game can enjoy a unique feature.
The Super Stake feature represents a refreshing twist on Live Blackjack, as it was not previously available to regular players. This allows players to play with boosted payouts from multiplier cards up to a value of 50x their base stake. Naturally, this is funded by requiring players to pay an additional 50% of the initial bet. So, for example, if you wagered 10 coins per hand, you would have to pay out 15 coins to be able to take advantage of this feature.
As well as this, Stakelogic have ensured that players can also enjoy the social aspect of being sat around a Live Blackjack table, even if they are not in a physical casino. Players can interact with both the dealer and other participants because, after all, it’s much more fun when you’re not playing alone.
Live Blackjack
Skywind understands that there is a lot of competition when it comes to Live Blackjack, and as a result, have created a game that is highly enjoyable to play.
The cutting-edge technology enables fluid live streaming from dealers to players all over the world, wherever they are. Of course, while this adds to the authenticity, it is also used to ensure transparency on the part of both the casino and players. Every aspect of the game is broadcast live, from the shuffling of cards to the dealing of hands.
As well as this, Skywind has ensured that players from all different betting ranges are able to enjoy their game. Instead of roping off Live Blackjack to high rollers, they have ensured that everyone is able to play by offering tables with different betting limits.
Live Blackjack Mobile Experience
Regardless of what version of Live Blackjack a gamer settles on, it’s essential that they can enjoy themselves as easily on a mobile device as they would on a computer. That’s why online gaming developers available at Betsson have developed cutting-edge technology that brings the latest releases straight to your mobile device.
