The wombat says: Pop the champers Jeeves! It’s time to play Live Blackjack Common Draw High Limit. This bling bling game was created by NetEnt in an attempt to bring high stakes Blackjack to online play.
Not all high rollers like to get suited and booted, in fact quite a few of us love nothing more than the thrill of a high staked game accompanied by many other Blackjack lovers in the comfort of our very own fluffy warm pyjamas. That’s the beauty of live blackjack– there’s no reason to get dolled up- you can play in your boxers or your knickers if you want to- I’m always encouraging Mrs Wombat to play in her smalls.
Yup, you’ll take on a real life dealer and get to chat to with them using a chat feature and to your fellow players whilst you’re at the virtual table.
If you can’t head out to the real casino, then this is the next best thing.
Look and Feel
As with all of their releases, it looks like NetEnt thought a lot about the design in Live Blackjack Common Draw High. Appealing to high rollers, the studio casino is elegant, the croupiers attractive and the live cameras work a treat (there’s no buffering here). This scrubs up very well next to games like Extreme Live Gaming blackjack, especially on smaller screens. Ultimately, it’s more choice and more tables for all of you blackjack fans!
You will also notice that during that there’s a bet timer will appear on the screen to indicate how much time is left until betting is closed. A nice touch, this feature will stop other players losing their patience wth you!
Game Play
The rules of this game is similar to that of any variant (if you need to practice head to a virtual demo game like Premier Blackjack as live dealer games are real play only), but here you’ll find there are 6 decks of cards in play. The objective of the game is simple: to land a hand with a value of 21 or as near to 21 as possible, thus beating the dealer’s hand without going bust. If and when this is achieved, the game is over and the pot is given to the winner – which is hopefully you!
If you manage to beat the dealer by scoring closer to 21 than him/her then you win a payout of 1:1 on your bet. If you win with a blackjack hand, that is if you get 21 from the very first cards, your pay will 3:2. The insurance pays 2:1 that is if you opt for it and the dealer gets a blackjack. If a draw occurs between you and the dealer, the bets will be pushed. The dealer can draw only up to 16 and must stand on all 17s, but players don’t.
Split Hands
You will be able to split your hands into two when the first two cards are of identical value. The suit and colour need not match though. If you choose to split then both the hands will receive a second card each. So you can win both and take good profits. This is your chance to win big too
Double Down
This is the option in this Best Real Money Blackjack Online game that is offered when the total value of your two cards is 8 or more. In such case, you can double your bet amount but you will only receive just one final card.
FYI: Wombat Fans, this game is for serious players, and in Live Blackjack Standard High Roller, there are just 7 seats – players can’t take up more than one seat at a time. You’ll also need to make a minimum of one bet in three rounds, and if you don’t do this, you’ll get get a warning. If you still don’t bet, you would be taken off the slot game and replaced by another player! This is the real deal and with bets going up to 1,000 per hand, we can see why.
Conclusion
Blackjack Common Draw High Roller is the game for you Wombat fans if you’re feeling flush, want to play blackjack with a live dealer and fellow competitors, but can’t be arsed to make it down to your local casino. It’s a great game.
