Pragmatic Play's Live Blackjack

Basic Live Blackjack Rules

Live Blackjack’s objective is to beat the dealer’s hand with a higher hand that doesn’t exceed 21. This outcome rewards a payout of 1 to 1. A hand exceeding 21 is called a bust. The best blackjack hand is a combination of two cards that combine for a value of 21 points, which has a payout of 3 to 2. If a player’s total hand is equal to the dealer’s, the outcome is referred to as a ‘push,’ and the player’s bet is returned.
A card’s point value is straightforward, with those numbered 2-10 having an equivalent value to the number displayed. There are two other considerations. First, picture cards (King, Queen, Jack) have a value of 10. The second is that the ace can have a value of 1 or 11.

This live dealer blackjack game uses Vegas Rules, so the players and the dealer receive two starting cards. The player’s cards are faced down, but only one of the cards belonging to the dealer is faced down (called the hole card). The rule states that the dealer must always stand on 17.

Splitting is permitted when a player’s first two cards have an equal rank. However, they can only do this once per hand. Players have the option to double down except after splitting. Also, remember that a player who splits a pair of aces can only hit one more time. Purchasing insurance when the dealer’s face-up card is an ace is possible. The purpose of this is to protect against a dealer blackjack. If this is the case, a player wins 2 to 1.

Pragmatic Play’s Live Blackjack version uses eight standard decks of cards, and the table can seat up to 7 players.

Although you may be seated at a blackjack table with other players, there is no inter-player rivalry since you’re competing directly against the dealer. This means that it’s okay to congratulate a fellow player after a big round. Live Blackjack has a low house edge with an RTP of 99.28%, which you may be able to reduce further by following an effective strategy.

When you first visit a Live Blackjack room at Mr Green Live Casino, it may appear a little intimidating, but you’ll soon find that this isn’t the case at all.
