Live Blackjack

One of the most popular casino table games is blackjack, the object of which is to draw cards totalling closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand.

At Royal Vegas Online Casino Canada, you can play Live Blackjack, one of the most authentic blackjack experiences, online. With the use of Live Casino video streaming technology, you take a seat at a real blackjack table, with a real dealer, in real time. With a variety of Live Dealer Blackjack games available, each with its own unique features and side bets, it’s a great opportunity to try a different version of one of the most popular casino games ever invented.

Before you can start playing any type of blackjack, it’s important to know at least some of the terminology. Royal Vegas offers a full version of the terminology in each game’s helpfiles at the casino online. Here are some of the most common things to keep in mind, though:

• Hit: Ask for an additional card.
• Stand: To indicate that you do not require any more cards.
• Split: If you receive 2 cards of the same rank, you can play them separately with a bet for each hand.
• Double: After seeing your first hand, you can double an additional bet (equal to your original bet) and then draw only one additional card.
• Insurance: If the first card of the dealer is an Ace, you can choose to place a side bet worth half the value of your original bet. Should the dealer get blackjack, you will win your wager back plus the value of your original bet.
• Push: When your hand and the dealer’s hand add up to the exact same total, it’s a tie and your original bet will be returned to you.
• Soft: A soft hand happens if one of your cards is an Ace, which can be used as a face card (10 or higher) or as a 1.

Live Blackjack offers a blackjack experience remarkably close to that of traditional brick-and-mortar casinos. Unique features and side bets of Live Blackjack include:

• A Bet Behind feature that allows players to bet on the hot streak of another player at the table, without having to be seated at the same table.
• A 21+3 side bet, where players will bet on whether the first two cards of their hand, together with the dealer’s card, will make up Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Straight Flush or Suited Three of a Kind, basically one of the three-card poker hands.
• A Perfect Pair side bet will allow players to bet whether the initial two cards of their hand will be a Mixed Pair, a Coloured Pair or a Perfect Pair.

While these features and side bets may not be available on all Live Dealer Blackjack tables at Royal Vegas, they do add an interesting twist to the game.
