Blackjack at Citobet

Beat the dealer without going over 21. Blackjack is the game with the best published return in the casino, and the one where your decisions change the result more than in any other.

What we have

More than 500 blackjack games in the catalogue, from the live floors of Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, Playtech, CREEDROOMZ and Ezugi, plus digital versions from slot studios that you can play alone and for free.

The published return, and the condition attached to it

Blackjack games in our catalogue that publish a figure sit around 99%, which is the highest of any category here. That number assumes you play the standard chart on every hand: when to hit, when to stand, when to split, when to double. Play by instinct instead and the real return drops well below it. The house edge guide has the comparison against roulette and baccarat.

Side bets are a different game

Perfect Pairs, 21+3 and the rest are separate bets with their own, much worse odds, and they are not included in the headline number. They are there for entertainment. Treat them as an extra cost rather than as part of the hand.

Live or digital

A live table has a real dealer, other players and no demo mode, because every seat is a real-money seat. A digital table plays instantly, alone, and runs in demo mode, which is the cheapest way to learn the chart. The live casino guide explains the difference.

Bonuses at the table

Table games contribute 100% toward a wagering requirement, the same as slots, unless a promotion limits the bonus to specific games (term 1.22 of the Bonus Terms and Conditions). Covering both sides of a bet with bonus money is hedging, which term 1.5 prohibits.

The number to trust is the one in the game

Table rules change the maths: the number of decks, whether the dealer hits a soft 17, what a blackjack pays. All of it is in the table's own information panel, and all of it applies to your hand.

Set the limit before you sit, and the responsible gambling page keeps it there.
