Live Blackjack at Casumo Live Casino

Put simply, the aim of blackjack is to beat the dealer without going over 21. So, how do you do that?

Steps for playing live blackjack:

1. Select the live blackjack table you’d like to join based on your budget and preferences and “take a seat” at the virtual table facing the live dealer

2. Place your bet in the betting area

3. The dealer will deal two cards face up to each player and two cards for him or herself. One of the dealer’s cards is face up and the other face down. 

The value of the cards are as follows:

• 2-10: what you see on the card  (for example, the 4 of Clubs is worth four points)

• Face cards (jack, queen, king): 10 points

• Ace: 1 or 11 points, depending on which value helps the player beat the dealer

Your options: 

1. Hit - ask for another card

2. Stand - stick with the cards you already have

3. Double Down - increase your initial bet by 100% and stand after one more card (you won’t be able to keep hitting if you chose this option)

4. Split - if the first two cards of your hand have the same value, you can split them into two hands, each bet equal to the original bet. Keep in mind that if you split a hand with 2 Aces, you’ll have to stand after one card. Also, Ace + 10 in a split hand doesn’t equal a Blackjack (you will get a normal 1:1 payout)

5. Surrender

How to pick a live casino blackjack table

Casumo has tables for all budgets with betting ranges of £5 to £5,000. We offer Casumo Exclusive Blackjack tables as well as tables from four leading live blackjack providers.

At Casumo, we have a whole lotta blackjack variants to play live. Make sure to review the rules before playing a new type of blackjack, and remember you can always observe others play a few hands before betting. 

Speaking of other players, you can opt to bet behind a player who is already seated. This is a great option if all the seats at a table are taken, or if you simply prefer to wager on another player’s cards. If they win, you win, if not, well…that’s why it’s a good idea to observe a player for a few hands to see if they have a grasp on the rules of the game.

Live Blackjack Games on mobile

Live blackjack is available on any device. Play via your mobile browser or our award-winning app, available for iOS and Android.

The aim of the game in the design of Live Blackjack is to deliver the ambience and experience of live casino games but for online players.  Just like you would at a Vegas casino, you can lay a bet on the table and wait in real time as the dealer distributes the cards. You decide whether to hit or stand and watch as the game unfolds. Through live games, everyone can experience the real deal and feel of a brick-and-mortar casino, engaging with the dealer as you play.

Each game developer has its take on what an authentic casino includes (from the lighting to the number of tables in a studio, the dealer’s demeanor, game rules, and so on). This leads to several different variants and styles of live games. 

While it might sound a little overwhelming, it’s not; it simply means you’ve got a top-notch selection of games to pick from. Here are some of the most popular titles you’ll find in the Casumo Live Blackjack lobby.

Infinite Blackjack

Infinite Blackjack was created by live casino industry leaders, Evolution Gaming. Played with eight decks, it’s infinite because the number of players at the table is not limited. It follows standard blackjack rules with four side bets: Pairs, 21+3, Hot 3, Bust It, and the 6 Card Charlie Rule. 

This game is best for players who don’t want to wait for their seat at the table and are looking for lower starting bets. Maximum bets with Infinite Blackjack are usually £5,000, and the maximum payout is 250:1 for winning the Bust It side bet.

Quantum Blackjack

Created by Playtech, Quantum Blackjack delivers a live twist on a classic game with boosted payouts of up to 499:1 and random game multipliers. Played with a community hand (players’ views change depending on their game moves) and eight decks, the number of players is unlimited. A side deck is also used, dealing 1-3 cards with a mystery multiplier attached. Should any player get a matching card, the multiplier is awarded if a win occurs.

First Person Blackjack

Using superior 3D rendering and an animated environment, First Person Blackjack is a hybrid variant from Evolution Gaming. This variant features Perfect Pairs, 21+3, and bets offered on 1-5 hands. 

First Person Blackjack is the non-live mirrored version of the game that has a “Go Live” button that’ll take you straight to the live game. This allows you to get to grips with the game, test out the bet limits, and, when you’re ready, go live for more blackjack action - it’s that easy, and bets start from £0.50-1,000 with max payouts of 100:1.
