Evolution Infinite Blackjack is an exceptional, richly featured version of Blackjack for an unlimited number of players with low bet limits.
Thanks to massive multi-player scalability and advanced software that combines the live dealing of both physical and virtual cards, every player can enjoy a thrilling live gaming experience without ever having to wait for a seat to become available.
In Infinite Blackjack all players are dealt the same starter hand by the live dealer. After this initial deal, each player can play that hand as they wish. All players can therefore end up with different hands and different potential wins, just as if they were sitting at a standard seven-seat Blackjack table.
Player decision-making is assisted by real-time statistics that show the betting decisions of other players on that same hand during betting time in each game round.
This ability for an unlimited number of players to play a single hand and then make different betting decisions is achieved through advanced game software that combines the live dealing of physical cards and virtual cards directly to each individual player.
Adding even more fun and excitement to this richly featured game are the ‘Six Card Charlie’ rule and four great optional side bets. Infinite Blackjack is a superb addition to our world’s best Live Blackjack portfolio.
Infinite Blackjack comes in three different and exciting variants: Infinite, Infinite Free Bet and Power Blackjack.Like all our First Person games, First Person Craps comes with the unique ‘GO LIVE’ button that takes you on a unique journey – through the in-game portal and directly to the live Craps game. The ‘GO LIVE’ button is a great conversion tool from RNG Craps to Live Casino.

Players take their virtual seat and try to achieve a hand that’s closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand. The game is played with eight standard 52-card decks.
The core game offers the usual Blackjack main bets, as well as the Six Card Charlie rule and a range of side bets, all of which are explained below.
CARD VALUES
- Cards from 2 to 10 are worth their face value
- Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are each worth 10
- Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is more favourable to the hand. Note that a soft hand includes an Ace worth 11.
After the allotted betting time has expired, the dealer deals one card face up to all players, ending with the dealer. The dealer then deals a second card face up to all players, but the dealer’s second card is dealt face down. The value of your initial hand is displayed next to your card.
BLACKJACK
If the value of your initial two-card hand is exactly 21, you have Blackjack!
INSURANCE
If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, the player is given the option to purchase insurance to offset the risk that the dealer has Blackjack — even when the player has Blackjack.
The amount of insurance is equal to one half of the player’s main bet, and the insurance bet is settled separately from the main bet on the player’s hand. The dealer then peeks at the value of his/her downcard to check for Blackjack. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the round continues.
If the dealer has Blackjack, but the player does not, and the player’s initial two-card hand value is 18 or more, the game is over and the dealer’s hand wins. If the player’s initial two-card hand value totals less than 18, the dealer will continue to draw cards to give players the chance to win with the ‘Six Card Charlie’ rule. If the player and the dealer both have Blackjack, the game ends in a push and the player’s bet is returned.
‘SIX CARD CHARLIE’ RULE
If a player’s hand ends up consisting of six cards with a total card value of 21 or less, then the player automatically wins the main bet, even if the dealer has Blackjack. In the case of a split hand, each hand is evaluated individually.
MAKING A DECISION
As soon as the player receives his/her first two cards they can make an initial decision regarding their hand to Hit, Stand, Double Down or Split. If no decision is made before the betting time expires, a player’s lack of response is interpreted as hit in the case that the player’s score is 11 or less and stand if it is 12 or more.
DOUBLE DOWN
If the value of the player’s initial hand is not 21, the player can decide to Double Down. In this case, the player’s bet is doubled and they are dealt only one additional card to add to their hand.
HIT OR STAND
Alternatively, the player can decide to Hit to be dealt an additional card to add to the value of their hand. The player can Hit more than once to receive additional cards before they decide to Stand once they are satisfied with the value of their hand.
SPLIT
When a player’s first two cards are of equal value, the player can choose to ‘Split’ them into two separate hands. If the player splits two Aces, he/she will receive just one additional card on each hand. No doubling is allowed.
Note that the additional chance to win with a ‘Six Card Charlie’ also applies to split hands (see previous page).
DEALER’S HAND
When all players have made their decisions on their hand, the live dealer reveals the value of his/her downcard. The dealer must Hit on a hand of 16 or less and must Stand on a hand of soft 17 or more.
A player may place side bets in combination with their main Blackjack bet. This gives them the chance to win on any side bet whether they later win or lose on their main Blackjack bet.
Players simply clicks the appropriate side bet button to place their bets, or they can click the ‘ALL SIDE BETS’ button to bet on all side bets at once. *A licensing fee applies to all side bets.
ANY PAIR*
Allows players to bet on the two first cards of their hand being a pair of the same value: e.g. two Queens, two Aces, two 10s, etc.
There are two types of pair combinations for the Any Pair side bet, each with a different payout.
HOT 3*
Allows players to bet on the total/combination of three cards comprising their two first cards and the dealer’s upcard.
There are several combinations for the Hot 3 side bet, each with a different payout.
BUST IT*
Allows players to bet that the total value of the dealer’s cards will exceed 21, i.e. he/she will bust. There are several combinations for the Bust It side bet, each with a different payout depending on the number of cards the dealer busts with.
21+3*
Allows the player to bet on the combination of three cards: the first two cards in the player’s hand and the dealer’s up card.Winning combinations (similar to Poker) are as follows, with payouts depending on the probability of the combination being dealt:
Suited Trips | Three cards of the same suit and value, e.g. 3x King of spades |
