Live blackjack on Circus Casino

Blackjack first appeared in the late 18th century under the name 21, and today it's one of the most popular card games in casinos worldwide. Its simple rules make it a favourite among beginners, while still appealing to experienced players. At Circus Casino, live blackjack is played on real tables, filmed in studio and hosted by professional dealers. With 161 tables available, the live casino covers a wide range of variants and budgets.

How does live blackjack work?

The objective is to beat the dealer by obtaining a hand as close to 21 as possible, without going over.

Each player receives two cards at the start of the round. The dealer also receives two cards, of which usually only one is visible at the start.

Numbered cards keep their face value. Face cards are worth ten points, while the ace can count as one or eleven points, depending on what's most favourable for the player.

After the initial deal, several decisions are possible:

• Draw an extra card
• Stand with the current total
• Double the bet
• Split certain pairs
• Surrender, in certain variants

Side bets

Some tables offer side bets, such as Perfect Pairs or 21+3. These allow you to bet on the composition of the player's first two cards, independently of the outcome of the main hand.

Once players have made their decisions, the dealer completes their hand according to predefined rules. The winner is whoever has a total closest to 21 without exceeding it. To deepen your knowledge, you can check out our blackjack glossary or discover how decks and volatility affect the live game.
