Read review I Visit

This is a simple but very effective live blackjack offering that is no frills, but fast and fun.  It's key differentiating feature from most other platforms reviewed on this site is the fact that it is available to US players, pursuant to the operator's open US player policy.

Another great feature of this version of live blackjack is that it is one of the few that gives players the option to play for free.  After registering an account you are able to participate in the game in 'free play' mode and get a feel for how to use the interface before choosing to play with real money.

The game is offered in 'one to many' deal mode only (ie while many players may be playing the same game that you are, the dealer is only dealing a single player hand) which on the one hand makes it seem a little different to traditional 'bricks and mortar' casino blackjack, but on the other makes for much faster play, as you aren't waiting for a bet decision from 7 other players (at 20 seconds or so each!) each round.

Deal convention is slightly altered to account for many players playing the one deal. You may find on occasion you stand but the dealer deals additional cards to the 'player' hand. These are for other players choosing to hit, and will not be attributed to your hand. 

Consistent with the single deal mode, chat with the dealer and other players is not offered on this platform.  If you prefer chat and multi-player deals try Evolution blackjack or Playtech blackjack.

Time between deals is a swift 15 seconds, and time given to choose your next play during each game is only 10 seconds, making this a good choice for impatient blackjack players.
