Evolution has one of the most impressive Live Blackjack solutions in the Live Casino market.
From a player’s perspective, it’s as close to playing in a land-based casino as you can.
There are quite a few innovations you can indulge in – private play, unlimited seats, four side bets, Six Card Charlie rule, Cash Out, free Double Down and Split bets, small stakes, high limits, multipliers, and one version even removes all 9’s and 10’s from the deck and allows Triple and Quadruple Down bets!
There are also dedicated tables by select casinos with regular on-table promotions.
The RTP ranges from 98.45% to 99.54%, depending on the version of the game you play.
What’s more, when the table is full of players, the online game is faster than a land-based game, especially in the case of Speed Blackjack.
Standard 7 Seat Blackjack offers the most significant number of standard and VIP tables.
Two optional side bets of 21+3 and Perfect Pairs are available, plus Bet Behind.
Insurance, Double Down and Splits are also available.
You’ll find this game at all Evolution casinos.
You can Cash Out on the Classic and Speed tables.
The RTP is 99.47%.
Speed Blackjack is the same as regular Blackjack, but the key difference is the order in which the players receive their following cards.
When the dealing of the first two cards is complete, all players can Hit, Double Down or Split.
The player who acts the fastest will get the next card dealt first.
This approach significantly speeds up the game, saving about 30% of game time.
You’ve got to like playing quickly to play this version.
Cash Out is available.
The RTP is 99.29%.
Infinite Blackjack has unlimited seats, low bet limits, and four optional side bets (Any Pair, 21+3, Hot 3 and Bust It).
The excellent Six Card Charlie rule is also always in effect.
All players play the same two cards.
Like 7 Seat Blackjack and Speed Blackjack, this game is available at all Evolution casinos.
The RTP is 99.47%.
In Free Bet Blackjack, players get a free Double Down bet on two-card hands with hard totals of 9, 10 or 11.
Added to that are the free Split bets on all pairs except 10s.
Free bets are automatically offered to the player whenever their hand qualifies.
This game is part of the Infinite range of games, so there are the same four bets as in Infinite Blackjack and the Six Card Charlie rule.
Seven Seat Free Bet Blackjack, with three side bets, is also an option at some casinos.
You’ll find the game at LeoVegas.
The RTP is 98.45%.
Power Blackjack is Blackjack with a twist and is also part of the Infinite range of games.
All 9’s and 10’s have been removed from the deck, for 64 cards total less in the shoe of 8 decks.
The player can Double, Triple or Quadruple Down on any two initial cards, even after a split!
The game has four optional side bets (Any Pair, 21+3, Hot 3 and Bust It), but there is no Six Card Charlie rule.
You’ll find this game at almost all Evolution casinos. I recommend LeoVegas or BetVictor.
The RTP is 99.54%.
Lightning Blackjack is regular blackjack with enhanced multiplier payouts.
Multipliers of 2x to 25x are available on every winning hand as long as you can get two wins in a row.
The RTP is a healthy 99.59%.
The game uses eight decks of cards and a manual dealing shoe.
Hands can be Split and Doubled. There are no side bets.
A Lightning Fee, equal to your bet amount, is taken each game round.
Fun Fun 21 is a variant of blackjack that allows an unlimited number of players to play.
The 10s have been removed from the deck, and Player 21 always wins, regardless of whether the dealer also has 21.
Cashout is available before the dealer’s second card is shown. Double Downs can be played at any time and on split hands.
There are four side bets – Hot3, 21+3, Match and Bust It.
There are also two bonus payouts for hands of 21, which can pay up to 50:1, depending on the cards the player and dealer have. These are free!
Bet Stacker Blackjack is a new twist on Infinite Blackjack. In Bet Stacker there’s a Bonus Element, where if a randomly picked card matches a card in the players first two cards, the main bet is boosted by between 25% to 100%.
The Bonus costs a mandatory 10% of your initial bet value to play.
There are also four side bets, which don’t benefit from the boost but can be fun to play if you want some side action.
The RTP is 99.47%.
Easy Blackjack is not Blackjack as you know it.
It’s a game that uses a blackjack hand played by the dealer as the game mechanic, against which players place bets on totals that they think will beat the hand.
Five betting options exist: 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20. Players bet on one or more of these, and if the total is the same as the dealer’s hand, they get a push. If it’s more, they win.
Players can also win their bets if the dealer Busts his hand.
The RTP is 97.00%.
The highest payout is for Total 16, which pays 2.45:1, while a win on Total 20 will pay just 0.13:1.
It’s an interesting game that’s more about the betting than it is about Blackjack.
Salon Privé is a super elegant private gaming environment where you can play privately against the dealer. The maximum bet is up to £10,000, with the minimum being £1,500.
You need a minimum bank balance of £6,000 to sit down.
You play one-on-one with the dealer and can change dealers and ask for reshuffles.
For more information, refer to my high stakes Blackjack article.
The best place to play Salon Privé Blackjack is, without a doubt, LeoVegas.
Dedicated Blackjack tables by Evolution are unique because of two things :
Unibet, LeoVegas and PokerStars have excellent Evolution-dedicated Blackjack tables.
VIP Blackjack has four versions: Diamond, Platinum, Grand and Fortune.
Unlike Salon Privé, multiple players can play at the same table. The minimum bet is as low as £250, and the maximum on the Diamond VIP table is £5,000.
Playojo is one of many casinos that offer VIP Blackjack by Evolution.
I will direct you to my Live Casino Bonuses page, where you’ll find numerous welcome bonuses and other promotions.
Blackjack contributes to wagering requirements from 25% to 100%, depending on the casino.
Evolution Live Blackjack is played to Vegas Rules on a table with seven seats. The game uses eight decks of cards, which get replaced only a 1/4 of the shoe remains.
There is a range of side bets available. You can split matched pairs and double your hand whenever you like. Or, in the case of Power Blackjack, you can even triple or quadruple it.
Split Aces only get one card.
If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, he will offer players Insurance and check for a Blackjack. If he has a Blackjack, the game round is over, except in the case of Infinite Blackjack, where you can still win the hand if you accrue six cards due to the 6 Card Charlie rule.
The cards get shuffled by hand or a machine by the side of each table. Once shuffled, the cards get loaded into a clear perspex dealing shoe, from where the dealer deals them.
Cash Out is an option available on the Classic and Speed tables. You can cash out your hand for an agreed value anytime during the game.
The tables come in two major categories:
General play – These are generic tables that all casinos can access. There tend to be more tables open for mid-range players than lower-stakes players and fewer for the VIP or High Rollers.
Dedicated tables are where online casinos have invested in table areas for their players. The tables and rooms are fully branded and typically use the same dealers.
There is more chance of getting a seat on one of these tables at busy times. I always try and play somewhere that has dedicated tables.
You can play Live Blackjack on a PC, Mobile & Tablet. The playing interfaces for Mobile are slightly different (not much) to allow you to see the betting options and cards.
While playing on a phone can be great, you can get a much better experience playing on a PC or Tablet.
The playing interface has loads of configurable options you can tweak to suit your playing preferences.
The default settings are not too bad. I normally use that unless I mute the sound when I find the dealer chatting too much. :-)
So here’s a quick run-through of what’s available:
Pre-Decision – This facility allows you to decide the action you want to take on your hand before it’s your turn. Options are Hit, Stand, Double and Split. Pre-decision can really speed the game up.
Deal Now – If you’re playing on the table on your own, you’ll have the option to press the Deal Now button after the last hand has finished. The betting clock is down to zero and tells the dealer to deal immediately. I love this feature because I like to play quickly. However, I don’t get many opportunities to use it because the tables are generally busy when I play.
A nice feature on the screen is an icon that indicates the Hot Players on the table, showing how many hands they have won since their last loss. The Star helps to show you the players in form when you’re choosing who to bet behind.
Side Bets are displayed on the table (if you haven’t disabled the options in Settings).
Blackjack Party – Comes with two dealers. This is a low-stakes game suitable for new players or those that like lots of fun chatting.
Standard Generic Tables – These tend to be Green in colour and are aimed at low to mid-stakes players.
The Red VIP Tables – They have been around for a while and form the bulk of VIP tables.
The Silver VIP Table – for VIP high rollers.
Platinum VIP – for VIP high rollers.
Diamond VIP – for VIP high rollers.
Fortune VIP – for VIP high rollers.
Grand VIP – for VIP high rollers.
Generic Table from Romanian Studio
Here you’ll have the dedicated non-language tables. German, Italian, Dutch, Flemish, French, Greek, Turkish and Russian are some of the languages. There are a few generic language tables, but most are dedicated to individual casinos.
I guess these are the most costly option for the casinos, which is why many use generic tables.
Many casinos have invested, and it’s well worth it from a player’s perspective.
You’ll generally be able to get a seat; you’re in an environment tailored to you by the casino. You’ll get specific on-table promotions, and the dealers will be the same, so you get to know them as you play.
The images below represent the casinos that have dedicated environments.
Evolution hosts its live Blackjack from primarily three studio locations.
The biggest by far is the Riga Studios in Latvia, where most English-speaking tables are.
The International language tables are in a Studio in Malta, where you’ll find Dutch, German, Flemish, Greek, Turkish, English, Danish, Russian, Swedish & Italian.
Games also stream from the new studio in Romania.
If, for any reason, you lose your connection when playing your hand, rather than mucking the hand and losing, a default action of Stand applies to your hand. The hand will either win or lose, depending on the outcome of the dealer’s hand.
It’s relatively basic, I’m afraid, unlike some of the other providers who have a much fairer way of playing the hand.
Blackjack isn’t a game that allows for many innovations, but Evolution has done as much as humanly possible to an otherwise predictable and ordinary card game.
No matter your preference, you will undoubtedly find the game for yourself in the Evolution Live Blackjack portfolio.
The competition is offering some reasonable solutions as well.
Playtech has Quantum Blackjack with win multipliers, and Pragmatic Play has a hugely popular game in ONE Blackjack.
Portomaso Oracle Live Blackjack is nearly perfect, while Betconstruct Live Blackjack has the best rule set of any online live dealer I’ve played.
So, there are other avenues to explore, but as is the case with other casino games, Evolution is your best starting point.
Evolution Blackjack is a common name for all six versions of Blackjack that Evolution Gaming offers.
These live dealer games are available at online casinos that run Evolution software.
There are six different game types of Evolution Blackjack.
Seven Seats, Infinite, Free Bet, Salon Privé, Speed and Power Blackjack. Though it is not a different game, you can add to this VIP Blackjack. It just has different bet limits.
Evolution Gaming offers six different versions of Blackjack with RTP between 98.85% and 99.54%.
You cannot play Live dealer games for free or in demo mode. Evolution Blackjack is no exception.
All Evolution Blackjack versions allow only real money play. Low-limit blackjack tables are available, with bets starting from 50p.
