If you’re a fan of live casino games, you’ll like the new additions from Evolution Gaming. The Swedish developer has released two new live dealer games: Free Bet Blackjack and 2 Hand Casino Hold’em. The developer return to regular table games after a successful release of live Monopoly.
Free Bet Blackjack
Free Bet Blackjack is another addition to their live Blackjack game catalog. It is also one of their “Infinite” type games. Infinite is a unique live table game format. It offers a table with unlimited seats and automated free bets on double-downs and split bets.
In Free Bet Blackjack, all players are dealt with a single hand at the same time. It is done with the software that integrates physical and digital card dealing with all players’ hands.
First, as usual, two cards are dealt. Then, every player makes their own bet. Each round, the player can double down on 9, 10 or 11 two-card totals. The same goes for Free Split bets on all pairs, except 10s. The game also offers interesting side bets:
- Any Pair
- 21+3
- Hot 3
- Bust It
- Six Card Charlie
This live Blackjack game is based on a Blackjack version that is often played in regular land-based casinos. The side bets are similar to that version, allowing the player to optimize their funds during the game.
2 Hand Casino Hold’em
2 Hand Casino Hold’em is similar to Free Bet Blackjack in that there can be an unlimited number of players playing at one table at any point in time. Here, every player is dealt with two separate hands. Additionally, the player can make an optional AA Bonus bet.
According to Evolution, the gaming sessions tend to be longer with such games. In their words, fast-paced poker games with two hands result in 70% more games during a playing session. This is due to more chances of winning provided by two hands.
