A new blackjack variation being offered at a number of live dealer casinos is blackjack basic strategy with early payout (”BBSEP”). It’s a blackjack variation exclusive to live gaming platform provider Vuetec and its licensee casinos, and offers an innovative twist on ‘traditional’ blackjack.

BBSEP incorporates two key features that differentiate it from ‘traditional’ blackjack offered at most live dealer and traditional casinos. The first is an early payout option afforded to players, and the second is the fact that game rules dictate mandatory basic strategy play. These two differences are discussed further below.

At any given point during a BBSEP deal, the player has the option to take a payout and suspend any further action on a given hand. The payout value is calculated automatically, taking into account the strength of the player’s hand relative to the dealer’s up card and the mathematical probability of a player win at that point (with a house margin incorporated in the calculation course).

In simple terms, the better the player hand relative to the dealer’s up card, the better the payout amount offered, and visa versa. For example, where the player’s cards total 11 and dealer’s up card is a 6, the corresponding payout amount offered will be substantially higher than the wagered amount. Conversely a weak player hand relative to the dealer’s up card will result in a payout offer less than the wager amount and a player loss on the bet if the payout option is taken.

Player’s are not forced to take the early payout. They may instead choose the ‘next play’ option, which leads us to the second differentiating feature of this game. ‘Next play’ will result in a hit where a hit is the correct basic strategy play or a stand where a stand is the correct basic strategy play. That is to say, should you choose not to take and early payout, you are effectively restricted to playing strict basic strategy.

It’s a game format that that should ensure relatively high return to player (”RTP”) rates, assuming the house margin incorporated into the early payout calculation is not substantial. Licensee casinos offering BBSEP advertise RTP rates of 99.5% on this game, which equates pretty closely to the mathematical RTP rate that applies to basic strategy play for traditional 6 deck blackjack and suggests the house margin incorporated into payout calculations is small.

BBSEP’s an interesting twist on a classic casino game and time will tell whether it becomes a big hit with blackjack fans. Blackjack purists may well disapprove of a substantial skill and decision making element being removed from the game. However, for players who are not experience or do not have a sound basic strategy knowledge, it presents an option that will help maximize returns.

    Online gambling and webcam casinos is one of the greatest inventions this century,allowing players gambling from the comfort of their own homes.Casino online gambling allows players to wager without worry about the opening and closing hours of land based gambling establishments…With live images directly from online casinos right into a player living room means that live gaming is a very real option for gamblers…Cards are cut right into a player”s eyes and a general feeling of being right where the action lies permeates throughout the gaming experience…Live gaming options where never so easy and real as they are today.Also many changes have been made to these offerings including the use of over sized cards to see the numbers clearly and cameras that zoom in and out on the cards and the tables…Not all casinos offer live dealers but some of the biggest real dealer casinos such as Playtech,Microgaming and Distance Gaming certainly do.The most popular live dealer games are blackjack.roulette and baccarat with many top sites offering a combination of these live casino games.You can sing up with no deposits and get access to all the games at no cost to try for free….
