Play Live Dealer Blackjack Online for Real Money

Enjoy live blackjack online with a real dealer – it’s the closest you’ll ever get to playing in person without having to go to a casino. TwinSpires Casino offers the latest in gaming technology so that you can play along with a real dealer wherever you are, 24/7.

Before, the only way to play blackjack online was on animated real number generator (RNG) software tables. Those games are still available, but you’ll never look back once you try live blackjack online for real money.

What is Live Blackjack?

Our online blackjack live dealer games are streamed live to the TwinSpires Casino platform from a special studio created by Evolution. A highly trained dealer works on a genuine blackjack table using real cards. The action is beamed in real-time to your device, where clever technology overlays graphics so that you can select a seat and start playing.

Your user name appears on the table, and you can play along just as you would in a real casino – choosing to stand, hit, double down, or split. There are even boxes where you can place popular side bets like Perfect Pairs and 21+3.

You can interact with the dealer via the live chat function. They will see the names of everyone at the table and will usually welcome you to the game when you sit down. Ask questions and have fun – just as you would at a brick-and-mortar casino blackjack game.

When you visit TwinSpires Casino, you will find our live dealer games in the table games section. The number of available tables will vary according to the time of day, but you will nearly always find an empty seat. Even if all the tables are full, you can use the "bet behind" feature. If you spot a player who seems to be winning a lot of hands, place your chips in the bet behind box, and if they win, so do you. When one of the seated players leaves, click on the empty seat to get started.

Playing Live Blackjack for Real Money

There are usually seven seats on every live dealer blackjack game (except for Infinite Blackjack – see below). Select an empty seat, and when the current hand finishes, you decide how much to bet. Click on your chosen chip denomination, then click again on your betting pocket (click multiple times if betting more than one of the same chip denominations.) The bet comes straight off your account balance, which is displayed on the screen for your eyes only.

The dealer will then deal the cards from the "shoe," and each player then acts in turn. When it’s your turn to act, you have a short time frame to stand, hit, double down, or split if you have a pair. You can make this decision before it’s your turn to act if you wish, as this speeds the game along. Once you stand (or bust,) the next player acts, and finally, the dealer plays out their hand.

If you win, the winnings are returned to your balance immediately. If you lose, then it’s on to the next hand to try again. You can play on the same table for as long as you wish – you can sit out for a hand or two, but will then be removed to allow someone else to play. Or just click leave after a hand when you wish to take a break. Anyone waiting will see the seat has become free and then sit down themselves.

You might wonder how the graphics can display your current total and applicable betting options in real-time. It’s because each of the cards has a tiny chip, recorded by a discreet scanner when the dealer slides the card out of the shoe. It’s so clever, yet so simple!

Live blackjack games are entirely transparent. In single deck blackjack, you watch as the dealer shuffles the deck on the table and puts it back in the shoe after each hand. Some live dealer games use an automatic shuffling machine on the table, similar to those seen in real casinos – these make things move along a little faster. For live blackjack games using multiple decks, these will again be shuffled before your eyes, so you know the game is fair. You will see the dealer place the "cut card" in the pack before placing the cards in the shoe. Once the cut card moves to the front, the dealer shuffles again.

Play Infinite Live Blackjack Online

A fun alternative to the standard seven-seater live blackjack tables is Infinite Blackjack. In this version of the game, there is only one seat – and any number of players can take it at the same time. The dealer deals two cards to the seat as usual, but now everyone in the game can play the hand just how they want to.

Will you be conservative and stand, then watch aghast as others take another card and win the hand? Or will you stand and nod sagely as others get greedy, take another card, and bust?

Infinite Blackjack has four side bet options – Any Pair, 21+3, Hot 3 and Bust It. Plus, the Six Card Charlie Rule applies (where you win if you end up with six cards without busting).
