Royale Blackjack
Loading...A seemingly classic blackjack variant to play, Royale Blackjack (Pragmatic) is a single-hand, hole card game with a bet range of NZ$1 to NZ$100 (or in bitcoin if applicable). Real money betting is for registered players only. Vanilla graphics and minimal animations look good yet lack sophistication. Online casino players from New Zealand will be happy to see a Basic Strategy button on the screen that opens a very useful chart showing keys to all decisions based on player/dealer cards. As far as payouts are concerned, they are conservative: BJ, insurance and normal wins award 3:2, 2:1 and 1:1, respectively. Dealer always stands on soft 17.
A Double Down control is always active at the beginning of a deal because a player may use this option for any two cards. Another favorable rule is that it is allowed to split any identical cards (e.g. a pair of 3s). However, a player may not resplit aces and also draw new cards to split aces. The overall player return is estimated to be 99.54% and this value is attainable if adhering to a proper strategy.
