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.”
