live online blackjack

Live blackjack, not surprisingly is offered at every casino listed on this site, however a few notable differences exist in the versions offered.  Most casinos offer multi-player blackjack-  ie blackjack presented as it is in your local casino, with a 7 seat table that you join and play your hand in turn along with all other players at the table. A few casinos offer a ‘single seat’ version, where a single deal caters for many players (additionally required cards are dealt to the center of the table and allocated based on players bet decisions.  Finally, Dublinbet and Lucky Live offer a variation known as Basic Strategy with Early Payout.

Single seat/player: Smart Live | BetPhoenix

Early Payout: Dublinbet | Lucky Live

While  Multi-seat/player live blackjack is replicates the traditional casino experience more than the other versions, just be aware that these games can take a while to play.  Depending on the casino you choose up to 45 seconds is given to players to make each hit/stand/double/split decision and if a table is full and players take their full time quota you could be in for a slow game.  Of course you can simply leave the table and choose a less full one.

With regard to the single-seat/player games, despite the way the game is dealt, bear in mind the rules are the same as if you were playing the dealt hand exclusively.  That is, standard blackjack rules apply and the casino rules make this clear.

It is also worth noting that the Early Payout game is dealt from a real casino and not a dealer studio.
