Complete Guide To Live Dealer Blackjack

You can see for yourself with our live blackjack comparison table – but most of them do. Try Lucky Streak live blackjack for a refreshing experience and great HD stream quality! Their games are not available in UK though, so for British players Evolution Gaming will probably be the best choice.

When a blackjack table is full, some live blackjack tables will offer you a chance to play together with one of the players occupying the seat. You get to be in the action, but he makes all the decisions.

You do however have an option to pre-select whether you want to split and double together with that player.

Given how many tables are offered by Evolution Gaming,we don’t see why betting behind should really be something that you need to do often.

That entirely depends on the casino of your choice. You can view the lowest betting minimums by clicking here (page jump). In our experience, we found minimum bets as low as £/€0.50 on offer and we have yet to see lower limits than that.

They don’t and, honestly, we have no idea why. US players looking to play live blackjack have the option to choose between a few other sites. These are: MYBCasino, VietBet, CloudBet and also mBit Casino, for those of you who prefer to play with bitcoin.

Sodapoppin is a (or Youtuber) with 700k+ subscribers. He makes vlogs and streams himself playing games like World of Warcraft. In 2014 he started playing live blackjack online and streaming it to his fans. During one stream he lost $5000 on one hand – watched live by 40,000 people. Was it real money? You can never be 100% sure, but his emotions seemed pretty genuine to us. Of course the casino he was playing at probably turned the whole thing into a pretty good marketing play too!

No. The casino already has a built in mathematical advantage, so it does not make any sense for them to cheat. It’s bad for the business. You can learn more about house edge, and what it is in different games, on our live dealer games page.

They are either betting in a different currency or the casino they play has a higher limit than you are used to. Usually it’s the first reason, as at many casinos players can also play in currencies like Swedish and Norwegian krona and Russian Rubles – all of which tend come in higher denominations.

Sir Jackpot Casino is a pretty good option in this case. They offer a nice selection of live dealer tables, provided by Evolution Gaming and NetEnt Live.

Deposits with both cards and iDeal are available, and players from the Netherlands are accepted too. Perfect!

Evolution Gaming offers live roulette with Russian speaking dealers, but we have not seen live blackjack so far.

However, VBet Casino offers BetConstruct powered blackjack games in many languages and one of them is Russian. We were actually very pleasantly surprised with the high quality of their games, so players looking for Russian live dealer blackjack should definitely give them a try!

They most certainly do! DafaBet is one such Asian player focused site, and they have international live dealer providers such as Asia Gaming, Sunbet and Opus Gaming among others. Their banking also features some additional methods that you might find more convenient to you.

In general, stream quality depends on the software provider rather than the casino. Good quality streams are offered by Evolution Gaming, PlayTech, Extreme Live Gaming and NetEnt among others. Leo Vegas would be our recommendation if you were looking to try as many HD high quality live blackjack tables as one casino can offer.

They are one of the top choices for players looking for live dealer blackjack in the United States. Their live dealer section is powered by Visionary iGaming who have a few different variations of blackjack offered. Choose between Early Payout, Turbo and Unlimited Bet Behind tables.

The betting limits on blackjack are quite impressive here too – up to $5k per hand and as high as $1k on the side-bets.

First off – great choice for you first live casino site! Our reviewers loved Leo Vegas. In your case, we can definitely recommend starting out at one of the Blackjack Party tables from Evolution Gaming. These are usually hosted by two enthusiastic live dealers who are very keen to communicate with players. They have also have low limits, so you can bet less if you’re learning the game!

Multi-seating is an option offered by PlayTech’s live blackjack as well as Evolution Gaming‘s version. With both providers, you can play up to 3 boxes at a time. Lucky Streak, which is a smaller provider, also has this functionality.

Of course! Evolution Gaming is our favourite provider for mobile live casino play. Brands like Leo Vegas, Mr.Green and Royal Panda are all excellent options to play for real money on your mobile device. Leo offer outstanding game variety and several enhancements for mobile live casino players too – so they would be our top choice.

Yes. Unibet have dedicated VIP tables with limits as high as 50k per single hand of live blackjack. That might sound like insanity to most, but we’ve definitely seen some people bet that much. So it’s Unibet Live Casino that offers the highest betting limits per hand for live blackjack, to our knowledge.

Yes, Visionary iGaming is one such provider and their games are offered at JetBull Casino. Even though their games are not the best from a UX point of view, their live blackjack seems to be the only product on the market with early payouts.

No, this is currently only available online in the animated RNG version, and can be played at all PlayTech powered live casinos.

Though you should definitely keep in mind that house edge on Blackjack Switch is higher than that of regular game variations, which includes games from pretty much all live dealer providers.

Refer to our betting limit comparison table at different casinos for more information on this. £20 is usually a deposit amount that is allowed by all live casino sites, so it being above the minimum deposit amount should not be an issue here.

Most of the time live dealer games are excluded from qualified games that can help you to fulfill the wagering requirements. Though sites that focus on live casino players do have some bonuses where live blackjack contributes between 5 and 20% towards these requirements.

Our favourite site for this is Codeta Casino, where You can get a 100% match bonus up to £/$300. All live blackjack wagers contribute 25% towards the requirements that are 35x the bonus amount.

If our math is correct the Codeta 1st deposit bonus is actually profitable for live blackjack, with a perfect strategy.

• You need to wager £/$10,500, but since the live dealer games only contribute 25% you actually need to wager £/$42,000
• Evolution Gaming’s blackjack has a house edge of 0.61% and thus on 42k in wagering your expectation is -£/$256.20

This means that on average as a player you would expect to make £/$43.80 per bonus. It’s important to understand that this does not mean that you’ll make this amount by signing up, but rather that if you would claim a bonus with these conditions 10,000 times, this would be the result per bonus on average.

The name is a pretty good description of what the table feels like. The dealers are extra friendly and have a little banter, joking around with the players. It’s much more relaxed and less serious than any of their other tables.

The “party” in the name comes from how dealers are trained to act. There are always two dealers at this table, usually male and female and they have a very laid back attitude.

Blackjack Party can be played at Leo Vegas, Royal Panda and all other live casinos powered by Evolution Gaming.

Yes. Ezugi have live blackjack with an early surrender (meaning dealer does not peak for blackjack on tens). Visionary iGaming offer live blackjack with late surrender where dealer first peaks for blackjack and only then you are allowed to surrender.

Dublinbet is a good live casino to join to enjoy both providers mentioned above. They don’t take UK players though. For that, you can join Jetbull Casino where Ezugi and VIG games are also on offer.

We do not yet stream on Twitch no, but this could be something we’d consider doing in near future!  We do have a Youtube channel though, where videos of actual gameplay at our reviewed casinos are posted.

We like to watch the most, out of all streamers. He’s genuine and a funny guy, who plays for some incredibly high stakes. He mainly streams himself playing PUBG as well as casino slots, but once in a while goes for live roulette and blackjack.

Absolutely! Guts Live Casino and Royal Panda both have very fast withdrawal processing and quite high betting limits. Rizk Casino is another fast paying live casino, but they also have a unique and cool loyalty program with a large bonus wheel, so we can also recommend them for that too.

There are several videos on Youtube with very weird ball bounces on the roulette wheel that started the conspiracy theory. In reality, the casinos make guaranteed money due to the built in house edge so any cheating is very unlikely.

More so the companies involved in this accusation were industry giants like Evolution Gaming and NetEnt, both of whom are public companies and audited by independent bodies such as eCOGRA.

If you choose with very small providers not reviewed on our site however, there may be a higher chance of unscrupulous behaviour.

There are several dozen casinos offering live dealer games that are playable with BTC. These are, for the most part, very legitimate software providers offering their tables and it is the casinos that take on converting the money into FIAT and back.

Evolution Gaming games can be played at mBit Casino and Cloudbet with the latter also offering Vivo Gaming, Ezugi and Asia Gaming tables.

Theoretically you can, yes. If you manage to find a live casino that offers blackjack with a single deck or without any re-shuffling, then you will be able to use a system like high-low.

Truth is, training to do this at live casinos is quite the perfect solution to get very good. There’s no stress and you can use a pen and a paper until you are good enough to do all the counting in your head.

Absolutely. Many providers offer these bets. Evolution Gaming, Lucky Streak and PlayTech are just a few that come to mind. For a full list take a look at our live blackjack side-bet section.

For UK players Royal Panda is a pretty great live blackjack casino. Other good alternatives are Grosvenor and Paddy Power.

All or most live casino sites with Evolution Gaming tables offer roulette with native German dealers. Blackjack is not as common though, but luckily Mr.Green Live Casino have exclusive tables in German!

Definitely join Grosvenor Casino, if you are looking to deposit with PayPal and you’re located in the UK or Ireland. They have a very good selection of games from Evolution Gaming with a few private tables and flexible betting limits. It helps that they are one of the most trusted gambling brands in the UK due to their land based casinos too!

In our opinion nothing comes close to Evolution Gaming’s portfolio of live blackjack tables. They have multiple tiers of these including Silver, Platinum and Diamond. These have a unique feel to them and are meant to segregate players based on their betting amount. Worthwhile mentions are also Extreme Live Gaming, Lucky Streak, Ezugi and PlayTech.

The above is true when it comes to playing experience, visuals, audio and dealer interaction. However, mathematically – Evolution Gaming blackjack is not actually the best choice.

When played with perfect strategy the house edge on Evolution’s tables is 0.61% – while NetEnt has a 0.50% variation. Extreme Live Gaming has one of the highest house edges together with VIG, at 0.73% and 0.78% respectively. You can learn more about, or compare, house edges and drawing rules with our blackjack comparison table.

Yes. Visionary iGaming lets you bet behind with “fun balance”. Just join a live blackjack table and you should be seeing a balance of 1,000 chips. To bet behind you’ll need to wager “on top” of the main players chips.

If you have not tried any live casino games we would like to point out that these are far from the highest quality ones. For that, check out Evolution Gaming live tables or perhaps PlayTech. These cannot be played for free, but you can still watch others play.

Live online casinos offer various forms of comps – promotions, sign up bonuses and reload bonuses. We cover this in detail on dedicated sections. You’ll also find the expected value calculations for sign up bonuses along with terms & conditions on these.

In theory Blackjack is beatable yes, but not so much in practice – especially online. This is mainly because live casino providers have shoe re-shuffling rules whenever about 40 to 50% (depending on the provider) of the shoe has been played out.

MIT students did in fact take Las Vegas for millions of dollars. You can learn more about the story on the or by ..

For all mobile live dealer play we would definitely recommend Leo Vegas. Their technology is proprietary and their core focus has always been mobile. Now they have also moved into the live dealer casino space.

For UK players there’s also William Hill and Grosvenor, both of which are very advanced with their mobile live casino apps.

Absolutely! Betfair NJ offers live dealer games that are streamed from the Golden Nugget Casino, who provide this technology in cooperation with Ezugi. These are available to all residents of New Jersey.

Evolution Gaming is rumored to be launching a studio for the legal US online casino market shortly too.
