Blackjack Party Evolution Gaming

Blackjack Party by Evolution Gaming is a one-of-a-kind game hosted by two dealers who talk to each other, answer players’ questions sent via chat, tell jokes and maintain a fun atmosphere, thus, keeping the gameplay light-hearted. As in other games by that developer, the video quality is optimized automatically and so is the screen that enlarges or shrinks depending on the internet connection speed.

Blackjack Party rules

The game is played with 8 card decks and the object of the game is to outscore the dealer without going bust. The basic rules that you should factor in when choosing an optimal action (Hit, Stand, etc.) are:

• dealer stands on hard and soft 17’s
• doubling down on any two initial cards
• splitting is allowed only once per hand, with no subsequent double down
• blackjack pays 3 to 2
• any tied hands count as a push
• insurance pays 1 to 1 and is offered on dealer’s ace.

Detailed rules are accessible by clicking the “?” button on the gaming toolbar.

Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets

In Blackjack Party there are two side bets that can be placed optionally, once you have made the main wager, giving you the chance to win a hefty 100 times your original side bet. The Perfect Pairs side bet wins if the initial hand dealt to a player comprises two cards of the same suit, color or both. For example, getting 6 of Hearts + 6 of Diamonds means you have a Colored Pair which pays out 12:1.

The second side bet is known as 21+3, and it wins if your first two cards in addition to the dealer’s face-up card make up any of the five types of combinations: Flush (pays 5:1), Straight (10:1), Three of a Kind (30:1), Straight Flush (40:1) or Suited Trips (50:1).

Bet Behind

A classic blackjack table allows up to seven players while other users have to wait for a vacant seat, which becomes an issue at busy hours when most blackjack tables are full. In Blackjack Party, the developer has rolled out the Bet Behind feature enabling users who are waiting a seat to bet behind any seated player.

Since you share the outcome of that player’s hand, you should bet behind an experienced player who makes optimal blackjack decisions. To help you determine which of the players is more successful or lucky at the table, there is the Hot Player icon attached to each seat that shows the number of consecutive rounds won by that player. The Bet Behind bet limits are the same as for a regular bet.
