Live blackjack at UK casinos

The studio Evolution names these blackjack games on its own page: Always 6 Blackjack, Easy Blackjack, Infinite Bet Stacker Blackjack, Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack, Lightning Blackjack, Infinite Blackjack, Blackjack Party, First Person Blackjack and First Person Lightning Blackjack. Its page also describes Free Bet Blackjack, Power Blackjack, VIP Blackjack and Salon Privé Blackjack.

Regular tables seat seven players. They offer optional Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets. Perfect Pairs pays if your first two cards make a mixed, coloured or perfect pair. 21+3 pays on a poker-style combination of your first two cards and the dealer's upcard. Insurance, Double Down and Split are part of the basic game.

• Lightning Blackjack adds random Lightning Card multipliers of 2x-25x. You pay a Lightning fee on every initial bet, and a winning score earns a multiplier for the next round.
• Infinite Blackjack has no limit on the number of seats and four optional side bets: Any Pair, 21+3, Hot 3 and Bust It. It also uses the Six Card Charlie rule: a six-card hand totalling 21 or less wins automatically.
• Free Bet Blackjack gives a free double down on two-card hard totals of 9, 10 or 11, and free splits on all pairs except 10, J, Q and K.
• Power Blackjack is played with eight decks from which the 9s and 10s are removed. You can double, triple or quadruple down on any two initial cards, even after a split. It has the same four side bets and no Six Card Charlie rule.
• First Person Blackjack is an animated RNG game with five hands per round and a GO LIVE button that leads to a live table.

Playtech's own page names Blackjack VZN, a hybrid of live and RNG play, and Mega Fire Blaze Blackjack in its Mega Fire Blaze Live Suite. Neither studio page gives an RTP for its blackjack games.

These casinos name live blackjack on their own pages, in rating order.

Casumo

Casumo describes a live blackjack line-up with exclusive tables beside tables from other live providers. Table limits vary by table, and some run from £5 up to £5,000. Evolution and Playtech are both on its provider list. The Casumo review has the details.

Unibet

Unibet names Evolution as the studio delivering its live blackjack. The Unibet review covers the rest.

LeoVegas

LeoVegas has Evolution blackjack game pages, among them Blackjack Diamond VIP, Blackjack Fortune VIP, Blackjack Grand VIP, Blackjack Platinum VIP and Live VIP Blackjack C. Its Speed Blackjack page also names Evolution. The maximum bet depends on the game, with no fixed value across live games or across variants of the same game. See the LeoVegas review.

BetMGM

BetMGM lists blackjack tables with a minimum bet. Exclusive Blackjack 1 and Exclusive Free Bet Blackjack 1 start at £5, and Exclusive Speed Blackjack and Exclusive Blackjack at £10. Sveasviten Free Bet Blackjack starts at £100. All of these come from Evolution. MGM Exclusive Blackjack, from Playtech, starts at £20. Read the BetMGM review for the rest.

Mr Vegas

Mr Vegas lists Blackjack with Roulette, Baccarat and Poker among the live games hosted by professional dealers in real time. No Mr Vegas page our team checked states table limits or names the studio. Our Mr Vegas review rates it 3.7 out of 5.

Each welcome offer counts live play at its own rate, as stated on the casino's pages.

• Grosvenor Casinos: a game contribution of 10% for all live casino games, game shows included.
• BetMGM: live casino and table games count 0%.
• LeoVegas: table games and live casino games are excluded from the wagering requirement.
• Unibet: table games count 10%, and some games are blocked from bonus play.
• Casumo: contribution varies per game, and most games count but not all.

No Mr Vegas, William Hill or 888casino page our team checked states a live blackjack contribution. For how the offers compare overall, see our page on live casino bonuses.

Set a deposit limit, a loss limit and a time limit before you open a table, and keep to them. Live rounds and game show spins come quickly, so set a session time as well and stop when it ends. A bonus or a large multiplier on screen is never a reason to raise a limit or chase a loss.

Every casino on this page lists deposit limits and self-exclusion. Reality checks or session reminders appear at Grosvenor Casinos, William Hill, LeoVegas, Casumo, Mr Vegas, 888casino and BetMGM. Loss limits appear at LeoVegas, Casumo, Mr Vegas and BetMGM. Mr Vegas also lists a max bet limit. Unibet lists a product block and a net deposit limit.
