Live Blackjacks subpar rules...

One of the most if not the most popular games offered, with great software and great dealers, only to see it all tainted by the set of rules in use. I mean no double after splitting? That function is not even a perk or something extraordinary but the very basics... it truly is a sad sight to see the game crippled and infringed upon in such a petty fashion, could've only been toppled by a Blackjack paying 6:5 for it to be worse than this. In reality there should also be a re-splitting option and dealer checking the other card for BJ when his upcard is 10 value aswell but no DAS in particular now that's just a punch below the belt right there.

A lot of casino's don't let you split after splitting. It's indeed rarer I think that you can't double after a split. But that's choice of the casino. As long as they mention it clearly.

Checking the other card for BJ also happens only in half of the casino's I guess :)

I see now that the circumstances of ones birth are irrelevant... It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

This is more likely to do with the game provider than with the online casino hosting the games.

I know Evolution dealers at least check for the other card for blackjack if they have a T or A and you can then choose for insurance or no. I have not tried the other providers blackjack though. I know other providers are at least NetEnt and Playtech, perhaps there are some others as well, but those are the most common live casino providers I have stumbled upon.

You could expect that there was some competition there so if it was profitable someone would do that to attract players. I'm not sure how this works between the casinos and the providers who pays for the money. I know that casino buys the service from a provider but are the winnings also paid by the casino or do the providers account for some of that depending on the deal.

Many online casino's have their own themed tables. Perhaps some specific tables could be arranged by a casino from a provider to have those features in. If it is profitable, sounds like those are huge benefits for the customer to have. :)

Most landbased ones atleast do but yeah, with online providers it's usually worse, and the lack of DAS being an uniquely bad instance regardless of the platform. Also it wouln't exactly be something to pride oneself with for the rules merely conforming to a specific standard if the bar is set low to begin with. If BJ pays 6:5 in Las Vegas does that then all of a sudden become a legitimate pretext over there? Ofcourse it doesn't because it still remains bad. Thankfully Unibet/Evolution Gaming are not on that level but it still could be better...

It is great that you share feedback - much appreciated. In terms of live - anything else you'd like to add in? We have very close relationships with our suppliers and constantly discuss the offering as well as features. Just one short comment on the Vegas BJ-games paying 6:5 - that was done so that they could drop the minbet and still maintain decent profitability. We are not at all planning to do that.

Cheers, Fredrik

Well i see the cards value on the number shown below slightly before the card is dealt due to a little delay. Also it would've been nice with low stake tables (0.50€ - 1€) aswell other than just a single one (and only on the "Party" theme) but aside from that i think the live studio is great and don't know what could be better - It really is just the rules that can and should be reformed.

In Vegas they pulled of that change because most people are sucked in by the experience/atmosphere and will play the game anyway, hell they even highlighted it in their advertising in some cases as if it was some new fantastic invention when ofcourse it was the exact opposite.

We are looking into several of the points mentioned and I agree with many of them (personally). If we can have a change here or not - no guarantee at this point - but your input has been noted.

However I don't think we'll go lower than €5 on the exclusive tables. We have just recently expanded that section with more tables since they are indeed popular. If you want to play lower than that the option is currently the debated Party BJ or RNG.

Cheers, Fredrik

I just saw now that a new BJ game has been released and it's fantastic: 4 decks, peek on both 10's and Aces and  "Double After Split" available. Since this is an exclusive game there has obviously been some reflecting done before it's release, Unibet is not opposed to the idea of having this set of rules so why is it not offered on the live version? The live studio should be the casinos flagship with the best incentives and features not the other way around...
