We offer brilliant blackjack games with live dealers from industry-leading studios like Playtech and Evolution Gaming, with fun side bets and random multipliers offering to increase the payouts up to 1,000x your stake. 

So, join us as we introduce you to the live blackjack experience at Betano Casino. We explain how to play live blackjack and reveal the best live dealer games you can play at our online casino. 

How to Play Live Blackjack 

To play live blackjack for real money, you must create an account at Betano. Visit our live casino and click the white “Sign Up” button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. 

Then, when prompted, complete the registration form, providing your name, date of birth, and phone number. You will need to verify your phone number before completing your registration. 

The final registration step is to deposit real money via our cashier. All funds are deposited instantly without additional fees, enabling you to play live blackjack without delay. 

With your account live and funds available, browse the live blackjack games currently available at Betano. You can select a game based on its stake limits, ensuring you can afford to play it responsibly. Please visit our Safer Gambling Portal for more details on gambling within your means at Betano.

Then, when you open the game, you should check the rules and read up on any special features, as many of our live blackjack titles have unique elements like multipliers, side bets, and other features. 

Finally, place a qualifying wager to receive your cards from the dealer. You can then decide to hit or stand to beat the dealer with a hand equal to or as close to 21 as possible.

A Quick Guide to Blackjack Strategy 

Fundamental to any blackjack strategy, regardless of the game, is knowing what action to take, depending on the cards you are dealt. Here are your options: 

  • Stand: If you stand, you indicate to the dealer that you are happy with your hand. Generally, you should stand with any starting hand between 17 and 21.
  • Hit: If you hit, you indicate to the dealer that you are not happy with your hand and you would like an additional card. You can hit in blackjack as many times as you like, provided you don’t go over 21. If you have eleven or fewer, you should always hit in blackjack. 
  • Split: If you receive a pair as your starting hand, you can split your hand in two. Doing so requires an additional bet equal to your starting wager. You should never split tens, as 20 is a great starting hand, but consider splitting sevens or eights. 
  • Double down: Most live blackjack variants permit you to double down. Here, you can double your wager in exchange for just one more card. It makes sense to double down if you have a starting hand of eleven, as there’s a reasonable chance your next card will be a ten or picture card, taking your hand to 21.

You should also consider side bets when working out the best blackjack strategy. Some live casino games at Betano offer the following side bets, which you can place with an additional wager: 

  • Surrender: If you surrender your cards and prematurely end the game, you can often recoup half your initial wager. 
  • Insurance: If the dealer’s face-up card is an ace, you can often place an insurance bet in blackjack. If the dealer’s second card is a ten or picture card, you will win a payout of 2:1. 
  • Perfect pairs: In some blackjack games, you can bet on your starting hand being a pair. You can bet on a mixed pair, a coloured pair, or a perfect pair, and you can receive a payout of up to 25:1 for this side bet.
  • 21+3: This is a wager on your starting and the dealer’s upturned cards. If the three cards rank between a flush or a suited triple (poker hands), you will receive a payout ranging from 5:1 to 100:1. 

While you can receive higher payouts when placing side bets at the live blackjack table, consider the impact these side bets have on your bankroll, and don’t get carried away.
