Live Blackjack Side Bets

Live Blackjack Side Bets Explained

Live Blackjack is a constantly evolving game, with Evolution now offering a wide variety of game versions to suit every player taste (Blackjack Party, Infinite Blackjack, Speed ​​Blackjack etc).

One of the most popular features in online casinos are Live Blackjack side bets . Side bets allow the player to increase their win potential by predicting the outcome of the hands they will be dealt.

In a standard Blackjack game, the most a player can win is 1.5X their bet. When side bets are taken into account, the win potential increases significantly. Players can win up to 100x their stake on a side bet, however these bets come with a much higher risk so please approach them with caution.

The two main side bet options available to players are ‘Perfect Pairs’ and ’21 +3′. There is also an option to ‘Bet Behind’ if you can’t find a seat at the table, so there are plenty of options available to give players extra excitement and betting opportunities.
