In-demand provider of premium live dealer content strengthens portfolio with latest title that offers whole new live blackjack experience

It’s live dealer blackjack but like you’ve never seen it before. Stakelogic Live, the go-to provider of premium live content, is once again changing the game with the launch of Super Stake Blackjack, its most thrilling game to date.

Super Stake Blackjack is based on the classic America Blackjack rules, but with gameplay supercharged by combining it with the provider’s innovative Super Stake feature. This sees Win Multipliers appear on screen in the beginning of each round as Golden Cards.

First, let’s take a closer look at the base game. Super Stake Blackjack is scalable and can be played by multiple players at once. The game is based on the optimal BlackJack strategy, where HIT/STAND decisions will be made automatically. After the hand is dealt, players can choose whether to Split, No Split, Double or No Double – the simple choice of Split or Double makes it ideal for new players. In case both the player’s cards match the Golden Cards, players will be able to make any Blackjack decision without optimal strategy.

Super Stake allows players to Multiply their main bet from x2 all the way up to x60. Players must cover a 50% fee in addition to their bet to activate Super Stake.

Once bets are closed, the screen behind the wheel then displays six Golden Cards at random. Each card has a Multiplier value of either x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15 or x30.

If the player’s card matches one or two of the Golden Cards and they win their hand, their initial bet will be Multiplied by the value shown on both cards, up to a maximum of x60. If none of their cards matches the Golden Cards, they will receive the standard BlackJack payouts.

If that wasn’t enough big-win action, Super Stake Blackjack has four side bets for players to choose from including Golden Pairs, 3, Golden 3 and Buzz-T.

Golden Pairs – if the first two player cards are a pair combination, the player receives a prize.

3 – If the three cards (player’s first two and the dealer’s first) create one of five different combinations, the player receives a payout.

Golden 3 – The player receives a payout if the first three cards form a three-card poker hand.

Buzz-T – players bet that the dealer will bust.

Richard Walker, Head of Live at Stakelogic, said: “Blackjack is a live casino staple but with Super Stake Blackjack we have taken the player experience to a whole new level. This means that players can enjoy the core blackjack experience while interacting with the dealer and take advantage of amplified big-win potential.

The addition of not one, not two, but four side bets make this a varied and compelling live blackjack title that will appeal to all player types from seasoned blackjackers to those trying to beat the dealer for the very first time.”

Exclusive global deal covers APT Taipei, Incheon, Jeju and the APT Championship in Taipei through the rest of 2026.

PokerOrg has been appointed the Official Media Partner of the Asian Poker Tour (APT) under an exclusive global partnership announced April 20, 2026 in Douglas, Isle of Man.

The agreement makes PokerOrg APT’s global storytelling and audience development partner for the tour’s remaining 2026 stops: APT Taipei (April/May), APT Incheon (August), APT Jeju (September/October), and the APT Championship (November), which will again be held in Taipei.

APT said it has been the fastest growing poker tour in the world since the “APT New Era” began in 2023. The company also pointed to the debut APT Championship, which it said generated more than $34 million in prize money.

“APT has been one of the most important stories in poker for several years, but much of the global audience hasn’t experienced it yet,” said Eric Hollreiser, CEO of PokerOrg parent company Triple Barrel Media. “This partnership changes that, not by reporting on APT from the outside, but by bringing players inside it and making it matter to a global audience.”

“PokerOrg is the gold standard in poker media, so bringing them on as our Official Media Partner is a natural fit. Their values around integrity and how they approach the game are fully aligned with APT.” said Fred Leung, CEO of the Asian Poker Tour.

PokerOrg said its coverage will include creator-led content, social-first formats and integrated event reporting across its platforms. The company also plans to launch a dedicated APT hub on Poker.org and extend its Pick 3 fan format to the APT Championship, with winners receiving a package to an APT event in 2027.
