Live Blackjack at Betsson

Originally called Vingt-et-Un, or just 21, blackjack was a favourite game of King Louis XV of France. Eleanor Dumont, a woman who immigrated to America and was recognised as a skilled dealer, spread the word about this iconic game. She even opened a pub in Nevada called Vingt-et-Un, and people travelled to visit her venue and play this game. Today, blackjack is a widely played and well-known casino game.

How to Play Blackjack Online?

Live Blackjack is a table game with the primary goal of building a hand closer to 21 than the banker's hand while staying under or on the magic number of 21. The dealer will use a standard 52-card deck without jokers and deal the cards from the 'shoe'.

Each hand begins with dealing 2 cards to the player and the dealer. The player's cards are dealt face up, while the dealer's cards are dealt one face up and one face down. When it's your turn, you only have a short time frame to 'stand', 'hit', 'double down', or 'split' if you have a pair. The game will move more quickly if you make this choice before it's your turn to take action. It's the next player's turn once you make your play.

• Hit or Stand: 'Hit' means requesting another card from the dealer. If you want to keep your current cards because you're satisfied with the amount in your hand, you can choose to 'stand'.
• Double Down: You can double your bet if your two-card total is 9, 10, or 11. Simply place a bet equal to your first bet when it's your turn. The dealer will then give you 1 additional card, turned face down, signifying you cannot receive more cards.
• Split: You can 'split' cards if you have two cards with the same value. In this scenario, you can break them into two distinct hands and receive a new card from the dealer for each hand.

In the blackjack game, each card from 2–9 is valued at its face value. The face cards, which include the jack, queen, and king, each have a value of 10. The player decides whether the ace counts as 1 or 10.

As entertaining as the core game of Blackjack is, there are numerous additional features that you will get to experience by playing one of the 16 versions of live blackjack that we have on offer. Features such as Pre-Decision, Side Bets and Bet Behind don’t only add to the excitement, but they add huge amounts of scalability to your winning potential as well! The point of live blackjack is to beat the dealer by having a higher card count than the dealer without going over the number 21, hence the game’s name in its original form (Twenty-One). Six or eight 52-card decks with the jokers removed are most commonly used, and they are randomised in live blackjack to simulate the practice of shuffling. One card is dealt face-up to each player. The dealer always starts with the player that is sitting to his or her left and continues around the table, and the game goes from there. You might want to read up on the basics of live blackjack before playing, however it’s really easy to get a hang of! Enjoy!
