INTRODUCTION
Over the years, many players have tried blackjack and dropped it. Without a shot at a big win, they were simply not interested. Playtech’s Live Quantum Blackjack seeks to remedy this by assigning random multipliers to random cards. With this addition, players can win up to 999:1 in a single round! Join us as we explore this addition, and see how it affects the rest of the experience.
The RTP for this game is 99.47%, assuming perfect play. It is quite close to standard blackjack’s RTP of 99.54%. That is impressive, considering how bigger the payouts for Quantum Blackjack are. Most of the rules stay the same, though there is one major change. If a dealer busts with three cards, the player does not win. Instead, they only push. You can also play two side bets: 21+3 and Pairs.
HOW TO PLAY LIVE QUANTUM BLACKJACK
Before the round starts, you have to place a bet. You have a limited time to choose a coin value that suits your budget. Then, place it on the main bet field and side bets if you plan on playing them. Once the wagers are complete, the game will use a random number generator to award multipliers. Up to three cards can be selected to hold multipliers. They can be assigned a 3x, 5x or 10x multiplier.
The dealer proceeds to draw four cards total. Two are drawn for the player, both in a face up position. Two are drawn for the dealer, one face up and the other face down. Players can choose to hit, stand, double or split their wager. Once you have decided what to do with your hand, the dealer will draw more cards. The host stands on a soft 17.
Once both sides stop drawing cards, their results are compared. If the player goes over 21, they bust and lose the round. The dealer pushes if they bust with three cards. If they bust with four or more, the player wins as usual. If neither side busts, the one that comes closest to 21 wins the round. Getting exactly 21 results in a blackjack win, which pays more than standard prizes.
EXTRA FEATURES
The first side bet you can play is 21+3. This side bet will combine your first two drawn cards with the dealer’s visible card. If those three cards form a valid three-card poker hand, you will receive a prize. How much you win depends on the poker hand’s quality.
- Flush – 5:1
- Straight – 10:1
- Three of a kind – 30:1
- Straight flush – 40:1
- Suited three of a kind – 100:1
Pairs grants a prize if the first two cards you draw form a pair. The exact payout varies depending on the quality of the pair.
- A red/black pair where only the numbers match pays 6:1
- A coloured pair where the colours match pays 12:1
- A perfect pair where both colours and suits match pays 25:1
PAYOUTS
Standard wins pay 1:1, while blackjack wins pay 3:2. These payouts are true, provided your winning hand contains no special cards. If your win contains a special card, the amount you win is multiplied with the corresponding multiplier. This allows you to get lucky, and achieve wins up to 999:1! Keep in mind that your initial bet is not returned to you if you score a boosted win.
