What Is Live Blackjack?
Live blackjack is an online casino game that offers a genuine brick-and-mortar blackjack experience from the comfort of your home. Unlike RNG blackjack, live blackjack uses a real human dealer and a physical deck of cards shuffled and dealt in front of a camera in real time. You can even interact with the dealer and other players through live chat functionality.

The Fundamentals: Cards, Decks, and Hands in Live Blackjack
In blackjack, the goal is to beat the dealer’s hand without surpassing 21. Cards 2-10 hold their face value, while Jacks, Queens, and Kings each pack a punch at 10. The Ace, however, is your wildcard, toggling between 1 and 11 to give your hand the perfect boost. If you’re dealt an Ace and a 10-value card right off the bat, congratulations! You’ve officially hit the jackpot with a natural blackjack, paying out at 3:2.
Live dealer blackjack typically employs 6-8 decks, shuffled meticulously either by hand or machine. The deck count impacts the house edge and the art of card counting. More decks mean a higher house edge and a trickier game for card counters.
Hit, Stand, and Double Down
As you enter the electrifying realm of live dealer blackjack, prepare to make split-second decisions that could lead to thrilling victories or heart-wrenching defeats. With every game, you’re faced with a trio of crucial choices: Hit, Stand, or Double Down.
It's the classic call for another card, a daring bid to improve your hand. Keep hitting until you reach the illustrious 21, or meet your untimely demise by busting (surpassing 21).
If you are satisfied with the cards you have, you can opt to stand, meaning you are ready to go toe-to-toe with the dealer.
By doing this, you effectively double your initial bet, wagering that one more card will seal your victory. However, you can embark on this high-stakes journey only with your first 2 cards and only with a total value of 9, 10, or 11.
Blackjack Side Bets
In live blackjack, you can make side bets in addition to your main hand bet. These typically offer higher potential payouts than the regular game, but they also have a higher house edge and are more based on chance than skill. While there are many different side bets in live blackjack, two of the most common ones are Perfect Pairs and 21+3.
Perfect Pairs
This side bet pays if your first 2 cards are a pair of the same rank or suit. The payout depends on the type of pair: a mixed pair (different suits) pays 6:1, a coloured pair (same colour, different suits) pays 12:1, and a perfect pair (same suit) pays 25:1.
21+3
This side bet pays if your first 2 cards and the dealer’s upcard form a 3-card poker hand, such as a flush, a straight, or a three-of-a-kind. The payout depends on the hand's rank: a flush pays 5:1, a straight pays 10:1, a three-of-a-kind pays 30:1, a straight flush pays 40:1, and a suited three-of-a-kind pays 100:1.
Proven Betting Strategies for Live Dealer Blackjack
Unlike slots or other casino games, live blackjack requires skill, and several betting strategies can increase your chances of winning or reduce your losses. Below are 2 of the most popular and effective betting strategies for live blackjack.
Martingale
This is a classic and risky strategy: double your bet after every loss and return to your original bet after a win. Remember, this strategy can be very dangerous, as you can quickly reach the table limit or deplete your bankroll if you encounter a long losing streak.
Paroli
This is the opposite of Martingale, where you double your bet after every win and return to your original bet after a loss. The idea is to take advantage of a hot streak. This strategy suits high-risk players looking for a big payout and can afford to lose a few bets.

Expert Tips for Excelling in Live Blackjack
Live blackjack is a fun and exciting way to play the classic card game with a real dealer and other players online. However, it can also be challenging and risky if you don’t know what you’re doing. Here are some basic gambling tips that can help you enjoy the game more:
Set a gambling budget and make sensible bets relative to it. Most experts advise 1-5% of your total bankroll. Accept losses as part of the game. Don’t chase losses by doubling bets, hoping to recover quickly.
Take time to learn the rules and strategies of the game. Blackjack is a game of luck but also of skill and probability. Depending on your cards and the dealer's upcard, you can improve your odds by knowing when to hit, stand, split, or double down.
Practice before playing for real money. At Casino Days, we offer demo modes of our RNG blackjack games, which you can play without risking any money. This is a great way to familiarise yourself with the game and the interface before taking on a live dealer. You can also test your skills and strategies without losing anything.
