Blackjack is one of the oldest games still played today, with a history going back to the 18th century or perhaps even earlier. While the basic gameplay has stayed the same during most of this time, the introduction of live-streaming technology has changed blackjack in several intriguing ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Huge Number of Versions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most noticeable aspect of the online version of this card game is that there are so many ways to play. This list of online blackjack games<\/a> covers titles like VIP Blackjack. Free Bet Blackjack, and Lightning Blackjack. There are also versions in languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, with native-speaking dealers presenting the action. These games are all beamed to the player\u2019s screen from a live studio setting with physical cards used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These versions can vary in several ways, even if the main goal is always to try and get closer to 21 than the dealer. For example, the minimum and maximum bet levels vary between games. You might also see differences in the rules concerning aspects such as when the dealer has to stand. While this might seem like a minor point, it directly affects your chances of winning even if you use basic blackjack strategy<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovative Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These blackjack games have also introduced us to some interesting new rules that add something different to the gameplay. Lightning Blackjack has a multiplier randomly added to each winning total before the hand is played, meaning that you always have the chance of big wins. This simple change doesn\u2019t greatly alter the house edge<\/a> but makes the game more volatile by introducing the chance for bigger wins while making the use of basic strategy more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Bet Blackjack is another version of the game with an interesting twist. It gives you more flexibility in splitting cards for free if you get two matching cards. In some games, you can use the free bet option to double down following your first couple of cards. Expect to see more new rules introduced as the number of live blackjack games grows over time.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Cards,
There are a large number of variations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Eye-Catching Themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The live studio aspect of blackjack has allowed developers like Evolution to explore a variety of themes. Lightning Blackjack is played in an art deco-styled setting with the dealer normally wearing stylish black and gold clothing to fit the theme. Regular lightning strikes add to the atmosphere while the physical cards are swiftly turned into their digital equivalents using augmented reality after being dealt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selection of Football Blackjack games adds extra appeal for sports fans, as the dealers discuss the latest football news and scores as the game progresses. Some of these games are played on a table designed to look like a football pitch while others show the latest scores scrolling down the screen behind the dealer. The way that blackjack has grown in the last few years has allowed developers to create new versions that should appeal to different players. As the live-streamed genre continues to attract players, expect to see the variety carry on growing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
