LIVE BLACKJACK

Playing live blackjack is pretty straightforward: pick your favourite blackjack table, have a seat, place your preferred wager and watch the game unfold! Typically, live blackjack is played using up to eight 52-card decks, which form the ‘shoe’. You will be dealt two cards, face up, and the dealer will draw two more cards for themselves — one upcard and one hole card. The objective is to reach a score of 21, or as close to it as possible and to beat the value of the dealer’s hand. Surpassing a score of 21 is an automatic bust.

After the first cards have been dealt, players will have the options to ‘Hit’ for another card or ‘Stand’ to keep their hand as is and conclude the turn. Some live blackjack games will feature a variety of side bets, such as the option to double down on the wager or bet on the perfect hand of 21. On some blackjack tables, players may also ‘Split’ their hand into two. This can only happen when the player lands a perfect pair, and splitting the hand will require an additional wager that is equal to the initial bet.

Whether or not the dealer hits another card or stands will depend on the rules. On some live blackjack tables, the dealer will hit on a soft 17 (a hand containing an ace that is valued at 11). In games like Power Blackjack, the dealer will always stand on a soft 17.

At the end of the round, the hand with the closest value to 21 wins. If a hand receives an ace and a ten-valued card, that is called the ‘natural’ or ‘blackjack’. The odds of landing this perfect hand are about 5% — or one in 20 rounds.

LIVE BLACKJACK CARD VALUES

In blackjack, all cards count as their face value.

• Jacks, queens and kings are worth 10 points each.
• Ace is worth 11 points when the hand total is under 21. If the ace pushes your hand over 21, then it will have a point value of one.

LIVE BLACKJACK STRATEGY

As with most table and card games, live blackjack employs both luck and skill. There are several popular strategies that players can use, but they should do so carefully and only after thorough research. Keep in mind that although the house edge can be lowered through strategic play, winning can never be guaranteed.

Every game of live blackjack is hosted by a professional dealer, live from studios around the world. The live dealer is responsible for supervising the gameplay, drawing cards and calling for action. Live dealer blackjack games have many advantages; not only do the players get to enjoy fantastic, authentic blackjack gameplay, they can also consult the rules at any time and enjoy a greater variety of side bets. Players can interact with one another, as well as with the dealer, through the Live Chat function. The best part about playing live blackjack is the flexibility — you can stop and resume at any time you wish, without having to give up your seat and waiting around for another free table!
