Evolution Gaming Blackjack
Evolution Blackjack refers to Live Blackjack, one of Evolution Gaming ‘s representative casino game series along with Live Baccarat, Roulette, and Poker.
As explained in our previous Evolution Baccarat post , Evolution Gaming is a leading casino software developer, providing solutions to countless major betting companies.
We have acquired a gaming license, launched live studios in various countries around the world, broadcast various games in real time, and have numerous dealers.
Blackjack is a popular game that is called the Three Sacred Table Games along with Baccarat and Roulette.
Evolution Gaming has developed numerous variations of blackjack games and unique betting systems and options for over 20 years.
Today, we will introduce the types and features of this Evolution Blackjack , and how to enjoy it 100% .
Evolution Blackjack Features
Bet Behind
Since blackjack is fundamentally a game where it is up to the player to decide whether or not to receive a card, there are limits to the number of people who can sit at the table, even in live blackjack games.
There is usually a limit of 7 players per table, and the dealer deals the cards and proceeds with the game according to the players’ wishes, such as stand/hit/split.
For those who are unable to participate in the game due to physical limitations, Evolution Blackjack has designed a betting feature called ‘Bet Behind’ .
Betting Behind is a feature that allows you to bet on other players without having to participate in the game yourself .
A betting method where players place bets on other players sitting at the table during the betting round before the game begins, and receive a winning amount if that player wins that round.
The Bet Behind feature allows you to participate in the game indirectly without having to wait for a table to open up .
Even if you are already at the table, you can still place behind-the-scenes bets with smaller amounts against other players who are on a winning streak or have better skills . This is a feature of Evolution Blackjack that can be used to generate additional profits if used well.
quick decision
Initial Decision is a convenience feature introduced by Evolution Gaming to shorten the long play time characteristic of live blackjack.
According to [Blackjack Rules] , after completing the betting, players will receive two cards from the dealer, and decide whether to hit/stand/split/double down by looking at the dealer’s upcard (revealed card).
In offline blackjack, these decisions and processes are relatively easy to make because experienced dealers and players face each other, but in online, the tension of the game can be lowered due to internet conditions or long selection times.
I, too, have made decisions by looking at the [Blackjack Hand Rankings (Strategy Chart)] when I first played live Blackjack , so when there are 7 people at the table, the pace of the game is bound to slow down.
Evolution Blackjack’s ‘Early Decision’ system solves this problem by allowing you to make decisions such as hit/stand before your turn comes, once the dealing is complete.
By making decisions in advance through the 2D infographic buttons displayed on the table, the decision is immediately relayed to the dealer, allowing the game to proceed at a faster pace than offline.
Side bets
Evolution Blackjack tables support 21+3 and Perfect Pair, popular bets in American casinos, while also offering additional betting opportunities through side bets.
While side bets may not be advantageous to the player in terms of payback percentages and house edge, they offer a more exciting blackjack experience by offering a chance to take advantage of the monotony of just the main bet and the potential payout options.
We’ve already covered the types of blackjack side bets and how to make them, including the 21+3 bet and the Perfect Pair bet, in a previous post [link], but let’s take a quick look at them.
1. 21+3 Bet – A side bet that combines elements of blackjack and poker. The bet is satisfied when the player’s two cards and the dealer’s upcard, a total of three cards, complete a poker hand .
- Suited 3 of a Kind : When all three cards are of the same suit and number, the winnings are paid out 100 times.
- Straight Flush : When three cards in a row are of the same suit, the winnings are paid out 40 times .
- Triple (3 of a Kind) : When three cards have the same number regardless of suit, the winnings are paid out 30 times.
- Straight : When the numbers of three cards are consecutive, regardless of suit, the winnings are paid out 10 times .
- Flush : When all three cards have the same suit, the winnings are paid out 5 times .
There are five possible hand rankings for 21+3 betting, and you can see that the lower the odds, the higher the payout.
2. Perfect Pairs
Perfect Pair literally means ‘a perfect pair’, and is a side bet that the two cards the player receives will ‘form a pair that satisfies certain conditions’ .
Perfect Pair winnings are usually paid out in three cases, as follows:
- Mixed Pair : If a pair has the same number but different patterns and colors, the winnings are paid out 5 to 6 times.
- Colored Pair : A pair of different suits but the same number and color (e.g., spades + clubs, diamonds + hearts) pays 12 to 15 times the winnings.
- Perfect Pair : If a perfect pair of cards with the same pattern, color, and number is found, the winnings are paid out 25 to 30 times.
The table above is based on standard blackjack, and the payouts and odds for Perfect Pair may vary depending on the table type.
Evolution Blackjack Variants
Standard Blackjack
Evolution Blackjack boasts the largest number of live casino tables in the world.
As mentioned above, blackjack has physical limitations due to the number of players per table. Therefore, Evolution Gaming has successfully secured a large number of studios and dealers based on its substantial capital and technological prowess, and based on this, it provides the largest live blackjack table.
We cover all player types, from low-stakes tables to VIP tables, to accommodate a wide range of users, and offer the various side bets and features introduced above as standard.
If you want to enjoy blackjack in a normal way, I think Evolution’s blackjack would be the safest choice.
Speed Blackjack
Speed Blackjack is a variation of Blackjack that players can enjoy at the fastest pace, and its dealing method is different from that of regular Blackjack.
In traditional blackjack, the dealer asks the player on the far left whether to hit or stand.
Speed Blackjack is played on a first-come, first-served basis , with additional cards dealt first to the person sitting at the table who makes the fastest decision.
For example, if the player sitting in the middle of the table has a low hand (3,5), he can quickly press hit to receive the first additional card.
Speed Blackjack drastically reduces game time by eliminating the traditional process of asking players with hands that no longer need to hit (e.g. 19, 20) to hit/stand, and instead only dealing additional cards to those who wish to do so .
Also, it is a popular blackjack game because you can use card counting based on the cards from the previous round and the cards currently on the table to receive additional dealing at the timing you think is right.
Infinite Blackjack series
Infinite Blackjack is an innovative variation of Blackjack from Evolution Gaming that overcomes the limited seating capacity of traditional Blackjack tables.
At an Infinite Blackjack table, all players are dealt two common cards, after which they decide whether to hit/stand, split, or double down.
There is no limit on the number of players, so you can set your bet amount as you like (low limit), and there are also additional side bets other than the 21+3 bet and the Perfect Pair bet.
- Hot 3 : Satisfied when the sum of the player’s two cards and the dealer’s up card is 19 to 21. The payout varies depending on the combination of numbers.
- Bust It : Satisfied when the dealer’s hand exceeds 21 and busts (push when the player has blackjack), the payout varies depending on how many cards were used to bust.
Hot 3 and Burst It have lower payout percentages of 94.60% and 94.12% respectively compared to other side bets, but they are popular among many users because they offer a wider range of betting options.
In addition to this, Evolution Gaming’s Infinite Blackjack has various other series such as ‘Fun Fun 21 Blackjack’, ‘Betting Stacker Blackjack’, and ‘Easy Blackjack’.
For more information on different types of Infinity Blackjack tables, please see our next post.
Lightning Blackjack
Lightning Blackjack is a high-risk, high-return game developed by Evolution Gaming along with Lightning Baccarat . It is a variant of Blackjack in which a specific multiplier is applied to the existing payout when a certain hand wins, allowing you to take home more winnings.
First, the player bets the amount with 100% of the lightning fee added in the betting round. (Example: 10,000 won bet + 10,000 won lightning fee = 20,000 won bet)
After the betting round is over, the multipliers are displayed in increasing order, starting from hands below 17 (4-17) to Blackjack (BJ), as shown in the picture above.
If the lightning multiplier for 20 is 12x and the player wins against the dealer with a hand of 20, the player will be paid 12x the amount of their bet.
In the case of traditional blackjack, the main bet payout is 1:1, and the blackjack payout is 3:2, so it was difficult to make a large profit at once unless you split, double down, or succeed in a side bet. Therefore, it can be said to be a high-risk, high-return blackjack game developed with this in mind.
Although there is a downside to having to bet twice the original bet amount due to the lightning fee, it is a recommended blackjack game if you are looking to make a killing because the multiplier ranges from 2x to up to 25x .
Existing winning odds and multipliers do not overlap, and when winning a blackjack, the winnings are paid out as lightning odds, not blackjack odds.
Privet Blackjack
Free Bet Blackjack is a slightly different version of classic Blackjack, where you are given the opportunity to ‘double down’ or ‘split’ for free.
In traditional blackjack, you had to pay an additional main bet amount to split or double down, but in private blackjack, splitting and doubling down are automatically applied without an additional bet .
Free double down is triggered when the player’s hand is a hard 9 to 11, and free split is applied only when the player has a pair of 10s (J, Q, K).
In other words, this is a variant of blackjack that can be used strategically, as the private bet option is automatically activated only when it is appropriate to double down or split in real blackjack.
One unique thing is that if the dealer busts with a hand total of 22, the game does not end with a win for the player, but is a push (tie).
Since this is an advantage the dealer (casino) gains instead of giving the player a free double down and split bet , it is advisable to fully consider the house edge before playing .
Power Blackjack
Power Blackjack isa blackjack variant that allows you to use the ‘double down after split ‘ strategy, which allows you to double, triple, or quadruple down bets on each hand even after a split.
Power Blackjack is played with only eight decks (including J, Q, K) with the number 9 and 10 cards removed .
Although it is inherently more difficult to complete a high hand since 9s and 10s are excluded, you can still achieve high profits by utilizing the split double down (quadruple down) strategy.
When playing Power Blackjack, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the timing of splitting and doubling down by referring to the [Blackjack Strategy Chart] .
How to properly enjoy Evolution Blackjack?
In addition to the live blackjack tables mentioned above, Evolution Gaming offers countless variations of blackjack .
There are tables that combine Infinite Blackjack and Private Blackjack, and there are also tables called ‘Blackjack Party’ that offer a lighter game with lower limits and behind-the-scenes betting.
However, many betting companies do not offer these tables, which contain unique fun and strategic elements, due to their low utilization.
This is because offering a large number of live blackjack tables incurs significant costs, which can be addressed by utilizing overseas betting platforms with significant capital and a large membership base.
We recommend 1XBET as a good place to play Evolution’s game series .
1xBet is a major overseas company, boasting a secure and capital-rich network of members from various countries. It maintains a large-scale live casino through contracts with various software developers, including Evolution Gaming.
All types of live blackjack products currently available on the official Evolution Gaming website are available at 1xBet, and games from other manufacturers are also available.
As of January 2025, 1xBet offers 137 blackjack tables from Evolution alone, taking into account blackjack variations and various betting limits, and even more tables from 1XLIVE (our own studio) and Pragmatic Play .
We support KRW deposits , and if you enter the promo code Code1 when signing up , you will receive a 100% bonus (up to KRW 2,650,000) on your deposit and 150 free spins , so we recommend that you enjoy playing blackjack with a high payout rate.
