All Bets Blackjack

[Unclefester]

Playtech's newest one to many deal blackjack table featuring extra side bets, aka All Bets Blackjack.

[Unclefester]

For the deal Playtech have adopted the solution employed by Evolution on Infinite Blackjack ie. physical cards out of the shoe that disappear (dealer fed) into the table and re-appear as virtual cards.


The side bets are pretty similar also;

Buster, Top 3, LuckyLucky, Perfect Player/Dealer Pairs & 21+3

[Unclefester]

The game is played observing US/Vegas rules (2 cards dealt for dealer, as opposed to 2nd card at end of game round)


Before you place a bet on any or all of the 6 side bets you have to place a bet on the main player hand.....even though it's perfectly possible to win on the side bets and lose the main hand.


those side bets in more detail;

[Unclefester]

The 3 side bets to the right of the main bet position comprising of

Dealer/Player Perfect Pairs &

21+3

are the same as those already established at Playtech/Evolution - with the same winning hands combinations and payouts.

[Unclefester]

The left hand cluster of 3 side bets are similar though not identical (eg. different payouts) to those on Infinite Blackjack from Evolution.




Buster

Top3

Lucky Lucky

[Unclefester]

Buster (Blackjack) side bet pays when the dealer busts.

The more cards it takes in busting, the bigger your payout.

Significantly if you have a BJ, the side bet pays more, but only for 7+cards.

(Hence you'll observe the dealer taking extra cards, when in a regular game of blackjack the game would automatically finish with a winning player BJ hand to determine the exact payout).



8+ cards pays 250:1,
7 cards - 50:1,
6 cards - 18:1,
5 cards - 4:1,
4 or 3 cards - 2:1


WITH player BJ

8+ cards pays 2000:1
7 cards - 800:1

[Unclefester]

The Top3 side bet pays on specific poker combinations of the player's first 2 cards and dealer's first (face up) card.



Suited Three of a Kind pays 270:1

Straight Flush - 180:1

Three of a Kind (/Trips) - 90:1

[Unclefester]

Lucky Lucky is another side bet that pays on combinations of the player first 2 cards and dealer first card.




....but this time,

Suited 7's (eg. 7♣, 7♣, 7♣) pays 200:1
Suited 678 (eg. 6♣, 7♣, 8♣) - 100:1

777 (different suits) - 50:1
678 (different suits) - 25:1

Suited 21 (any card combinations of same suit total 21) - 15:1
21 (any card combination of different suit, totalling 21) - 3:1

Any 20 or 19 (any card combination totalling 20 or 19) - 2:1

[Unclefester]

There's also a button underneath the side bets labelled All Side Bets.....no prizes for guessing what that does when you place a chip on it!




The quoted theoretical return to player (RTP) rates are:

99.46% on the main game

Dealer Pair and Player Pair side bet - 95.90%

21+3 side bet - 96.30%

Buster - 93.865%

Top 3 - 91%

Lucky Lucky - 96.10%

Awesome summary, thanks Fester.

And the key takeaway look at the RTPs (as always), play the main game and avoid the side bets!

Is their physical-to-virtual card transition as smooth at Evolution's?
