Understanding the rules of Live Blackjack is straightforward. The main goal is to assemble a hand of cards that approaches 21 without exceeding it while also having a total that surpasses the dealer's.
Card Values: Number cards hold their face value, while face cards all count as 10. Aces can be valued at either 1 or 11. The highest hand, known as Blackjack, is achieved with an Ace paired with a ten or a face card, automatically winning the round.
How to Play: At the beginning of each hand, you’ll receive two cards and you can choose to either
- Stand – Maintain your current hand, thus ending your turn.
- Hit – Request an additional card from the dealer. If your total exceeds 21, your turn will automatically conclude.
Once all players have completed their turns, the dealer will play their hand, and the winners will be announced.
There are two primary methods of dealing cards at our Blackjack tables:
- The EU style is when the dealer draws their second card only after all players have taken their turns.
- The US style differs slightly, as the dealer receives their second card after all players have been dealt their first two cards.
Special Features: Our Live Blackjack tables enhance gameplay with exciting features often found in brick-and-mortar casinos. Whether you're in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo, traditional Blackjack tables frequently provide these additional betting options:
Insurance
If the dealer's face-up card is an Ace, you have the option to take insurance against the dealer potentially achieving Blackjack. This insurance bet protects your original wager if the dealer indeed lands a Blackjack.
Side Bets
Some Live Blackjack tables feature side bets, providing an opportunity for increased or more significant payouts. The 21 + 3 bet allows you to wager on whether a combination of three cards will yield a poker hand like three of a kind or a flush. Another option is to place a bet on a perfect pair, aiming to match the dealer with cards of the same color, suit, or a standard pair.
Multi-Seat
You can also occupy multiple seats at the table, enabling you to play several hands simultaneously each round, usually with a limit of 5 hands per round, depending on the game.
Every Live Blackjack game comes equipped with an elaborate help menu detailing the rules and gameplay instructions.
