Top Live Blackjack for New Zealand

Blackjack has never been more popular at Royal Vegas Casino, and a lot of that’s to do with live dealer blackjack. Thanks to advanced live casino technology, you can now join a game of live blackjack on your desktop or mobile device from anywhere in New Zealand. Take your place at the table, watch the dealer deal out the cards and make your decision. Will you hit or stand? Is this a good time to double down, split or take insurance? The atmosphere is just as charged as you’d expect in a traditional casino, but the game-play is faster and you don’t have to leave the comfort of home. There’s also a social dimension when you play live blackjack online, with the ability to chat to your online blackjack dealer and other players. All in all, mobile-friendly live casino blackjack is the perfect solution for New Zealand players looking for a good time at the blackjack table without the hassle of travel.

New to the game of blackjack? Live dealer blackjack plays by the same rules as classic blackjack, which are dead easy to pick up. Here goes! The game begins once every player has placed a bet on the table. The dealer then deals out the cards, starting from their immediate left. The cards are shuffled by an automatic shuffler that rules out any possibility of tampering. Each player gets one card face up on a position clearly marked on the table, and the dealer gets one too. The process is then repeated, except this time the card the dealer gets is face down. Now it’s time to play. The goal of the game is to build a hand of cards that’s as close to 21 as possible, without going over 21. If your hand is better than the dealer’s hand, you win your bet. If the dealer’s hand is stronger, your bet is forfeit. If there’s a stand-off, it’s a push to the next round. Once all the players have played their hands, the dealer reveals their up card. If their hand is 16 or less, they have to hit. If it’s 17 or more, they have to stand.

Once you’re comfortable with the rules of the game, chances are that you’ll find live dealer blackjack a pleasant and rewarding experience. Enter the live casino from the Royal Vegas gaming lobby, head for the blackjack section and find a table. A friendly, personable dealer will greet you and proceed to run the game with professional expertise. You’ll find that the live blackjack gaming interface has a number of functions that add value to your gaming experience. The Initial Decision feature means that all the players at the table make their first decision at the same time instead of taking turns, which speeds things up a fair bit. You can also chat with other players and the dealer, and hit Deal Now if the dealer’s a bit too chatty! If another player’s hand looks better than yours, you can Bet Behind them and profit from their success, if any. For a bit of fun on the side, there’s the option to take out 21+3 and Perfect Pairs side bets. The action is all streamed live to your desktop or mobile device, and you can even play on our Android casino app without any loss of quality.
