Pragmatic Play Blackjack Games Review

One Blackjack

One Blackjack is a blackjack table with a one-to-many deal. A physical card deal can accommodate a large number of players. You are still only playing your hand. Only cards you decide to draw are ascribed to your virtual playing hand, which is shown.

The only difference between the house rules and the 7-seat tables is that 6 Card Charlie is also applicable. This table offers four side bets, but none of them should be placed for reasons that are obvious from the return-to-player rates that apply.

The main game of One Blackjack has a theoretical RTP of 99.54%, while the side bets offer the following percentages:

Side Wagers:

• Pairs side wager:95.90%; 
• 21+3 side wager: 96.30%.
• Dealer Bust: 93.82%
• Blackjack Buster: 94.26%

Speed Blackjack

For gamers with little patience,  or less time on their hands, there is Speed Blackjack. Despite being a 7-seat table, game rounds here proceed more quickly than they would on a traditional 7-seat table.

A shorter betting period is one explanation for this. However, the distinct order in which players get cards is the main factor. In Speed Blackjack, players draw cards according to who decides to hit or stand first, as opposed to the traditional method where each player chooses in turn. The total amount of time spent making decisions is greatly decreased.

The house rules are the same as the other traditional 7-seat tables, with the exception of the sequence in which the cards are drawn.

Insurance Bet

In blackjack, you can place a specific kind of side bet called insurance. When the dealer's up card is an ace, it is presented. By choosing insurance, you are placing a wager that the dealer has blackjack. If the dealer does really have a blackjack, this wager pays out at a two-to-one ratio. All of Pragmatic Play’s Blackjack games offer this feature.

Bet Behind

Players have the option to bet behind one or more of the primary 7 players seated at the table using the Bet Behind feature. A player in one of the prominent seats can also decide to wager behind any other seat. Low minimums for the Bet Behind option allow less experienced and/or casual players to get involved with the fun. One Blackjack is the only Pragmatic Play game to not offer this feature because an unlimited number of players can take part meaning that there is no waiting for an available seat. 

6-Card Charlie

6-Card Charlie is a side bet that rarely appears in Blackjack games, but is available when playing One Blackjack. Six Card Charlie is a unique blackjack rule that makes your 6-card, bust-free hand the undisputed victor. A Six Card Charlie game has a house edge of an incredible 0.16% and a return to player (RTP) of 99.84%. Simply said, you must pull six cards from the shoe without bursting in order to take advantage of this rule. However, the odds of achieving this feat are a daunting 400:1 so bare this in mind before making a 6-Card Charlie side bet!

Pairs

This side bet focuses just on your two-hole cards. The payoff relies on the following, however, they must both be of the same value (a pair).

• Mixed Pair: Same number but different colours. Awards a 5/1 payout.
• Coloured: You receive a payout of 10/1 if you form a pair with cards that are the same colour but not the same suit, for instance, a club and a spade.
• Perfect Pair: The best blackjack pair, or the perfect pair, is two cards with the same number and the same suit. Here, the payout is a respectable 30/1.

21+3

With 21 + 3, you can earn significantly more by assembling a strong three-card "poker" hand from your own two-hole cards, the dealer's face-up card, and your major blackjack wager, which pays out 1:1 if you win the hand (unless you made a blackjack). The higher the return, the better your 21 plus 3 hands. This type of side bet is used in all of Pragmatic Play’s live Blackjack games.

You must make one of the following three-card combos to get a 21 + 3:

• Flush: Three cards from the same suit yield a 5/1 payout.
• Straight: Three cards that are in numerical order, such as 6, 7, or 8. There are high and low aces. 10/1 is the return.
• When you get three of a kind, all three cards—your two and the dealer's face-up card—must have the same face value or number. Return 30/1.
• Straight Flush: Three running numbers with the same suit in a blackjack straight flush. 40/1 odds.
• Suited three of a kind: All three cards must be the same suit and the same number. The payout is the highest at 100/1.
