First Person Blackjack from Evolution redefines RNG Blackjack games by offering superior First Person video gameplay online.
Not only that, it also includes an in-game portal through which players can be transported directly to a live dealer Blackjack game at the touch of a button.
The game’s superior, animated 3D environment and user interface makes gameplay as close as any RNG game comes to playing Blackjack in a real casino. It includes all the usual Blackjack bets, as well as the optional Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets.
In First Person Blackjack, five hands are dealt to the player in every game round. The player can then choose to place bets on one, several, or all of these five hands.
Bets are placed from the player’s chip stack, which is shown in 3D and updates to reflect the player’s actual balance.
To place a bet, the player clicks on a chip, then simply clicks the appropriate betting spot/s on the game table.
Having placed his/her bets, the player clicks the ‘DEAL’ button to start the dealing.
With its unique ‘GO LIVE’ button, it is a powerful cross-selling tool that allows Evolution licensees to easily introduce RNG players to the thrill of Live Casino gaming and build loyalty to the licensee’s complete casino games offering.
Players also have the reassurance of a consistent user interface and set of rules as they switch between the Evolution First Person and live games.
Side bets
All our regular Live Blackjack games feature Perfect Pairs and 21+3 optional side bets.
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.
PERFECT PAIRS
Allows the player to bet on receiving any pair (e.g. two Queens, two Aces, two 7s etc) in the first two cards of his or her hand.
The level of payout depends on the probability of being dealt that pair. There are three types of winning pair combinations:
- Perfect Pair - same suit, e.g. 2x Ace of spades
- Coloured Pair - different suits of the same colour, e.g. 2 of diamonds (red) and 2 of hearts (red)
- Mixed Pair - different suits of different colours, e.g. 6 of clubs (black) and 6 of hearts (red).
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 |
Straight Flush | Suited sequence, e.g. 10, Jack and Queen of diamonds. |
Three of a Kind | Three cards of the same value but different suits, e.g. any 3 Kings |
Straight | In numerical sequence but different suits, e.g. 2 of diamonds, 3 of clubs, and 4 of hearts |
Flush | Non-sequential cards in the same suit, e.g. 2, 6 and 10 of clubs. |
ENABLING/DISABLING SIDE BETS
Operators can configure each individual Blackjack table with or without the side bets. If an operator chooses to include side bets then these additional betting options will be available to players by default. Each player also has the ability to disable side bets by clicking on the ‘SIDE BETS’ button in the toolbar.
