VIP Blackjack

Graphics

High-rolling tables are known for their red felt, which Extreme Live Gaming makes the most of by offering a high angle view of the table.

Seven seats are available and we simply click on any of the green seat icons to sit at any one - or more - position.

The stream is clear and the graphics crisp, with options to toggle the video quality if our connection is proving troublesome in the top left of our screens.

Our Dealer - garbed in Extreme Live Gaming’s classic get-up - draws cards from our right, burning them to our left. We do have the option to toggle video on and off altogether, giving the impression we are playing Blackjack with the Invisible Man.

Gameplay

While the stakes are higher, VIP Blackjack offers classic Blackjack gameplay. Blackjack pays 3:2, though even at maximum stake this isn’t our route to this game’s maximum jackpot.

Even playing max bet per hand of £5,000, a Blackjack win will bag us £12,250. If we are to double down our initial £5,000 stake and win, we are looking at a £20,000 payout.

We also have the option to avoid losing to a Dealer’s Blackjack by choosing the Insurance bet, which will see us earn the reward of a 2:1 payout, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

At any point, should we decide our gameplay needs to be less VIP, we can head through the mini lobby to the bottom left of the screen to any other Extreme Live Gaming Blackjack table.

Verdict

Extreme Live Gaming’s VIP Blackjack is worthy of the name.

The red felt feels plush and looks plusher, while the Dealers keep the game flowing. Being VIP, there are often fewer players, meaning quicker hands and, therefore, quicker payouts.

The eruption of chips when we score a winning hand and the swirling cards that sign post a Blackjack win are at once satisfying and encouraging. Though nothing could be more encouraging than seeing those winning chips nestle in our casino wallets.
