More ways to enjoy Blackjack

By | April 19, 2017

Blackjack is an exciting casino table game that is enjoyed in many ways. While most people will understand this includes land-based casinos, online Blackjack, and live dealer Blackjack, there are other variations designed to make your Blackjack play more enjoyable – and rewarding!

The nice aspect to Blackjack is many who embrace it often increase their skill level in a short period. As a result, many seek new challenges, and this is where those behind the development of casino games find new ways to modify the game with the intent to make it more interesting. This does not mean they change the base rules of the game, only slightly modify it to offer a different style or level of play.

Each of these games provides a unique slant, whilst still working to a standard set of rules, so do not take a great deal of time to become accustomed to.

Casinos such as Ladbrokes,  LeoVegas, betfair and Guts have become well-known for their selection of Blackjack games. This is due to the game suppliers they have chosen, many of whom offer multiple variants of the game.

Below, we look at some of the most popular Blackjack variants recommended for those wishing to discover new exciting ways to play.

NetEnt Common Draw Live Blackjack

NetEnt, a world-renowned online game developer, has included a Common Draw as a variant of Blackjack in their live casino. It allows you to join other players and vote on the next move on the table. This is a great way for new players to learn the game, but also for professionals to enjoy playing in groups. Common Draw Blackjack has been designed with traditional blackjack rules.

Progressive Blackjack

Progressive Blackjack is a variation that doesn’t differ too much from regular Blackjack. Players are offered an additional side bet that can provide increase winnings. The game adds payouts for certain hands that include standard payouts and obviously, a progressive jackpot. There are multiple game suppliers offering progressive blackjack, and winning the jackpot will differ based on the game supplier in question. As a rule, most progressive jackpot blackjack games will further include increased payouts for the higher winning hand combinations.

Blackjack Switch

Blackjack Switch provides players with the opportunity to apply an old cheating method and increase their odds of winning. Players need to place two bets as two hands are dealt with each player, but the dealer still only uses a single hand with one face-up card. With the top cards from each hand, players can choose to switch cards. An example of this would be as follows: A hand consists of a king and nice, and the other hand has a two and ace. In this version, you can switch the nine and ace so that the one hand will total twenty-one and the other would total eleven and then hit on the second hand with hopes of hitting twenty-one.
