How To Play Free Bet Blackjack
Before the game can get started, you will have to place your bet. In addition, you can place between 1 and 4 optional side bets. Just like in regular Live Blackjack, the dealer will shuffle the cards before dealing a pair of cards to the player facing up as well as a pair of cards to themselves, this will be one facing up and one facing down.
The game will play out the same way as in regular Live Blackjack, with the added ability to place free Double Down of Split bets on selected hands. In Live Free Bet Blackjack, the dealer must also stand on 17, which includes a soft 17 while a dealer hand of 22 will result in a push. The Six Card Charlie rule also applies in Free Bet Blackjack. If your hand consists of six cards giving you a total of 21 or less, you will automatically win the main bet.
Betting Round
You will see a large widget appearing in the middle of the game screen. If you're new to the game, smaller bets can be a wise choice until you get used to it. Select the chips you wish to play with and place them on the largest of the five circles at the bottom. Then cards will be dealt and the widget appears again. Here you will be able to choose between to double, hit, stand or split. The minimum bet is usually €5 or €10.
Play Round
Once the initial bets have been placed, the dealer will go on to deal two cards to every player at the table, where players who has a hand of blackjack will receive their payout immediately. The exception here being unless the dealer also has a blackjack, which will result in a push. When players have their cards in front of them, you will be able to Hit, Stand of Double Down.
If you have been dealt a pair, they will also be able to split. The major change making Free Bet Blackjack so different is that it offers free bets of course. Free Bets will be offered on splits and double downs. Free Doubles will however only be offered on hard two-card totals of 9, 10 or 11. You will still be able to double down on all other hands though. Opt for a Free Double and you initial bet is matched with the free bet.
When it comes to Free Splits, these will only be available on all initial pairs with the exception of 10-10, J-J, Q-Q or K-K. This option will split the players initial two cards of the same value into two new one-card hands. The original bet will be placed with the first hand while the dealer places a Free Bet with the other hand.
