How to Play Live Blackjack from Evolution Gaming

Rules and Objectives of Blackjack Live

When you play Live Blackjack at Mr Green Casino, your main objective is to create a hand that has a higher value than the dealer’s hand, but without going bust or exceeding 21. The best hand is called ‘Blackjack,’ which is a card combination that has a value of 21.

Live Blackjack is a relaxing game in one way as you play only against the dealer and do not have to compete against the other players. Another advantage of playing Live Blackjack is that it has a low house edge, which you can lower even further by using the proper strategy.

Live Blackjack can come across as being a bit complicated at first, but the rules are not very complicated. We give you a short explanation of how to play Live Blackjack.

A table of Blackjack Live can accommodate seven players. Take all the numbered cards at face value. Two key points that you need to keep in mind when playing Live Blackjack is that the ace is either 1 or 11 depending on the game situation and picture cards have a value of 10.

Live Blackjack is played with eight standard decks of playing cards where the dealer always stands on 17. You can double down on your first two cards, but not after splitting. However, you can split your first two cards if they have equal value, and you can split only once per hand.

If you split a pair of aces, you will receive only one card per ace. If the dealer gets an ace, you can purchase insurance. The game is tied if your hand and the dealer’s hand have the same value.

Side Bets in Blackjack Live

Live Blackjack offers the following optional side bets, which you can make when you are placing your regular blackjack bet.

Perfect Pairs – If the first two cards dealt to you turn out to be pairs, you will win a payout. You can get three types of pairs, and the payouts are different for each:

Coloured Pair: This is a pair of cards of the same colour.
Mixed Pair: This is a pair of cards belonging to different suits and different colours.
Perfect Pair: This is a pair of cards of the same suit.

21+3: If the first two cards dealt to you and the dealer’s card form a three-card poker hand, your winnings will be determined based on the nature of the poker hand created.

Suited Triples: Contain three similar cards.
Straight Flush:Three cards belonging to the same suit and in numerical sequence.
Three of a Kind:Three cards that have equal value but belong to different suits.

Guide to Playing Blackjack Live at Mr Green Casino

The following is a simple guide to playing Blackjack Live at Mr Green Casino:

Take a seat:The first step is to sit down at the Blackjack Live table by clicking on any area marked “Sit Here.” You can leave your seat anytime you wish by clicking on the X button near your position.

Place a Bet: You need to have sufficient funds in your account to make a bet on Live Blackjack. Also, you have to place your Bet before the betting time comes to an end. Placing a bet is as simple as selecting a chip and clicking on it.

Make a Decision: When the betting time comes to an end, the dealer will deal a card to him/herself and two cards each to everybody seated at the table. You then have to make one of the following decisions:

Decide whether you want to hit (to receive another card) or stand (continue playing with the two cards initially dealt to you). You can also consider whether to split the pair of cards you just received and play two hands simultaneously or double down or double the Bet you placed on your hand.

Once everybody has made a decision, the dealer will make a move. When the round has ended, the dealer clears the table, settles the bets, and credits winnings to your account.

Payouts – How Much Can You Win

If the value of the hand you created exceeds 21, you will lose the game. If the value of the dealer’s hand is higher than your hand, you will lose the game. Conversely, if the value of your hand is higher than the dealer’s hand, you will win the game and receive even money. Finally, if the value of your hand is 21, you have got blackjack and a payout of 3:2.

If you had noticed that the dealer had an ace and placed an insurance bet to protect yourself, you would receive a payout of 2:1 if the dealer gets blackjack.

The payouts for a winning Perfect Pairs side bet is 25:1, 12:1 for a Coloured Pair, with a Mixed Pair having a 6:1 payout.

The payouts for a winning 21+3 side bet are a lot more exciting. You get as much as 100:1 for Suited Trips and 40:1 for Straight Flush. It drops down quite a bit when it comes to Three of a Kind, which is at 30:1, and even lower for a Straight, which is 10:1, and 5:1 for a Flush.
