Live Blackjack by Vivo Gaming

More often than not, people default to Playtech or Evolution Gaming for their live casino games. Because of this, it can be easy to forget there are other software providers that can consistently deliver high-quality work! Vivo Gaming is one of these up and coming developers, whose blackjack table promises to charm you off your feet.

Their Live Blackjack tables don’t have the same visual fidelity as more established players. In turn, the developer makes up for this by including some exciting additions, like even money on blackjacks and Bet Behind.

Like every other blackjack table, you have to set your wager first. You can do this at the start of every round. You’ll see a number of chips appear in front of you. You can then click or tap the chip you want, and then click or tap where you want to place it. You can bet on the game itself, or on the two available side bets.

Once the wagers have been set, it’s time to play! The dealer deals four cards, two to you, and two to themselves. You see both of your cards, and one of the dealer’s own. Using this information, you can choose to either draw more cards or to stay with what you currently have.

When you stand, the dealer will reveal their second card. They may also draw more cards if the rules force them to do so. The person who gets closest to 21 without going over (busting) wins. The value of your hand is determined by the sum of all available cards you have.

You can wager any value between $0.50 and $500.00 with each round. Much better for casual players, who usually have to pay $1 per round. Winning a wager grants even money, and insurance pays 2 to 1. The best non-special feature win is the blackjack itself, which pays 3 to 2.

As you’d expect, Vivo Gaming keeps on top of their game, allowing players to split and double their hands. Doubling is the simpler of the two. If you get a fantastic hand, you can double your bet to double your win possibly! Splitting is allowed on any hand with identical cards and gives you the ability to play two hands in a single round.

On top of that, we have two side bets. The first is the 21+3, which forms poker hands out of the first three visible cards. The best pay is for a suited three-of-a-kind, which pays 100 to 1. You can also play Perfect Pair, which is self-explanatory. Both cards being the same suit is the top prize for this side bet, rewarding 25 to 1.
