Towards the beginning of September 2016, Playtech launched a brand new Live Dealer Casino Game feature called 21+3™ Live Casino Blackjack. This multi-award-winning online casino software provider has basically added another new Side Bet Feature to its tables to add the benefits of poker into every hand of blackjack that you play.
When you launch a live dealer Blackjack game at any decent Playtech powered live dealer casino, some of you will notice the new button that has appeared towards the bottom right hand side of the game window. This new Side Bet button can either be switched on or off. When you have it switched on you will see the two Side Bet optiond on the table, just above where your chips are placed. The other Side Bet option available on most Blackjack Games is the Perfect Pairs (PP) Side Bet.
The new 21+3 Blackjack Side Bet is based on your two cards and the dealer’s face-up card. If those three cards happen to create a winning poker hand such as a Straight, a Flush, Three-of-a-Kind, a Straight Flush or a Suited Three-of-a-Kind then you will be awarded the Side Bet payout with enhanced odds. For example a Perfect Pair generally pays 25:1, a Mixed Paid can pay 6:1 and a Coloured Pair pays 12:1. If you end up with a Suited Three-of-a-Kind poker hand from those three cards you will receive a whopping 100:1 payout.
“The 21+3 side bet is a great addition to the classic live casino Blackjack game and puts the excitement of poker into every hand,” said Playtech’s Head of Live Casino Innovation, Kevin Kilminster. He then finished by saying, “It will appeal both to those players who are familiar with either card game, as well as new customers who have never played Blackjack before, and we’re delighted to offer even more chances to win.”
