Playtech launches 21+3™ Live Casino Blackjack

New side bet feature puts the perks of poker into every round of the classic live table game

Playtech, the world’s leading Omni-channel gaming software, systems and services supplier, has unveiled its launch of the world-renowned 21+3™ Blackjack side bet to add the perks of poker into every round of blackjack.

The 21+3 Blackjack side bet is based on a player’s two cards and the dealer’s up-card. If the three combined cards form a straight, flush, three-of-a-kind, straight flush or suited three-of-a-kind, the player wins the side bet pay-out with enhanced odds.

Players will be further empowered when playing the ultimate live casino card game – receive a suited three-of-a-kind hand to win an incredible 100 times your original side bet!

Increasing your chances of winning, this highly innovative live feature that is a global land-based casino favourite, marries two classic card games, and puts the power of poker into every Blackjack round ensuring players can enjoy additional wins on every hand, regardless of the Blackjack base game result.

Playtech has licensed 21+3 from Games Marketing, the exclusive online rights holder.

The 21+3 side bet is a fantastic addition to Playtech’s leading live casino offering and further highlights the company’s commitment to providing the ultimate gaming experience for players.

Playtech offers the largest number of live dealer table game variants including Omni-channel casino classics, Blackjack, Poker, Hold’em, Baccarat and Hi-Lo.

Kevin Kilminster, Head of Live Casino Innovation, Playtech, said: “The 21+3 side bet is a great addition to the classic live casino Blackjack game and puts the excitement of poker into every hand.

“It will appeal both to those players who are familiar with either card game, as well as new customers who have never played Blackjack before, and we’re delighted to offer even more chances to win.”
