Blackjack with Perfect Pairs, Bet Behind and 21+3 side bets, dedicated tables with stakes starting as low as £2.50 makes William Hills Live Blackjack a serious contender for the best out there!
I have tried to be objective and consistent with all my live Blackjack casino reviews. Hopefully they will strike a chord with you, but I thought it might be helpful to explain the criteria I used to mark each of the casinos. Hopefully, the categories and explanations make logical sense.
Game Options – Here I am interested in the house rules or game features. These are things like what you can do with splitting pairs, what cards you are allowed to double on, whether the dealer has to hit on soft 17’s. These are important for two reasons, firstly playability and second because restrictive practices here increase the house edge if you are playing standard blackjack strategy. If you are interested then check out my Blackjack Strategies page for a more detailed list of the variations.
Customer Support – Do they have multiple methods for communication with me? Is support available 24×7? Do they have instant chat?, are they quick to respond?. Are they able to help me immediately?. Do they have an online FAQ and self help library? Are the support people knowledgeable about the product i’m playing?.
