Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack (Evolution Gaming) – Overview
Evolution’s Infinite Blackjack is an exceptional, richly featured version of Blackjack for an unlimited number of players with low bet limits. Thanks to massive multi-player scalability and advanced software that combines the live dealing of both physical and virtual cards, every player can enjoy a thrilling live gaming experience without ever having to wait for a seat to become available.
In Infinite Blackjack, all players are dealt the same starter hand by the live dealer. After this initial deal, each player can play that hand as they wish. All players can, therefore, end up with different hands and different potential wins, just as if they were sitting at a standard seven-seat Blackjack table. Player decision-making is assisted by real-time statistics that show the betting decisions of other players on that same hand during betting time in each game round. This ability for an unlimited number of players to play a single hand and then make different betting decisions is achieved through advanced game software that combines the live dealing of physical cards and virtual cards directly to each individual player.
Adding even more fun and excitement to this richly featured game are the ‘Six Card Charlie’ rule and four great optional side bets. Infinite Blackjack is a superb addition to our world’s best Live Blackjack portfolio. Infinite Blackjack comes in four different and exciting variants: Infinite Blackjack, Infinite Free Bet Blackjack, Power Blackjack, and Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack.
Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack (Evolution Gaming) – How to Play
Players take their virtual seat and try to achieve a hand that’s closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand. The game is played with eight standard 52-card decks. The core game offers the usual Blackjack main bets, as well as the ‘Six Card Charlie’ rule and a range of side bets, all of which are explained below.
Card Values
- Cards from 2 to 10 are worth their face value
- Face cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are each worth 10
- Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is more favourable to the hand. Note that a soft hand includes an Ace worth 11.
After the allotted betting time has expired, the dealer deals one card face up to all players, ending with the dealer. The dealer then deals a second card face up to all players, but the dealer’s second card is dealt face down. The value of your initial hand is displayed next to your card.
- Blackjack – If the value of your initial two-card hand is exactly 21, you have Blackjack!
- Insurance – If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, the player is given the option to purchase insurance to offset the risk that the dealer has Blackjack — even when the player has Blackjack. The amount of insurance is equal to one half of the player’s main bet, and the insurance bet is settled separately from the main bet on the player’s hand. The dealer then peeks at the value of his/her downcard to check for Blackjack. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the round continues.
- If the dealer has Blackjack, but the player does not, and the player’s initial two-card hand value is 18 or more, the game is over and the dealer’s hand wins. If the player’s initial two-card hand value totals less than 18, the dealer will continue to draw cards to give players the chance to win with the ‘Six Card Charlie’ rule. If the player and the dealer both have Blackjack, the game ends in a push, and the player’s bet is returned.
- Six Card Charlie Rule – If a player’s hand ends up consisting of six cards with a total card value of 21 or less, then the player automatically wins the main bet, even if the dealer has Blackjack. In the case of a split hand, each hand is evaluated individually.
- Making a Decision – As soon as the player receives his/her first two cards they can make an initial decision regarding their hand to ‘Hit’, ‘Stand’, ‘Double Down’ or ‘Split’. If no decision is made before the betting time expires, a player’s lack of response is interpreted as a ‘Hit’ if the player’s score is 11 or less and a ‘Stand’ if it is 12 or more.
- Double Down – If the value of the player’s initial hand is not 21, the player can decide to ‘Double Down’. In this case, the player’s bet is doubled, and they are dealt only one additional card to add to their hand.
- Hit or Stand – Alternatively, the player can decide to ‘Hit’ to be dealt an additional card to add to the value of their hand. The player can ‘Hit’ more than once to receive additional cards before deciding to stand once they are satisfied with the value of their hand.
- Split – When a player’s first two cards are of equal value, the player can choose to ‘Split’ them into two separate hands. If the player splits two Aces, they will receive just one additional card on each hand. No doubling is allowed. Note that the additional chance to win with a ‘Six Card Charlie’ also applies to split hands (see previous page).
- Dealer’s Hand – When all players have made their decisions on their hand, the live dealer reveals the value of their downcard. The dealer must ‘Hit’ on a hand of 16 or less and must ‘Stand’ on a hand of soft 17 or more.
- Surrender Rule – After the first two cards are dealt and the dealer does not have a Blackjack, players can decide to ‘Surrender’ their cards. If the players decide to ‘Surrender’, the game will end for those players, and half of their main bet will be returned.
Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack (Evolution Gaming) – Infinite Free Bet Blackjack
Just like Infinite Blackjack, Infinite Free Bet Blackjack can be played by an unlimited number of players. However, what makes this ‘Free Bet’ version of the game different are the exciting automatic Free Bets and a dealer hand of 22 resulting in a push. The core game features all the usual Blackjack bets, four optional side bets, and the ‘Six Card Charlie’ rule. The ‘Free Bets’ — on selected ‘Double Down’ and ‘Split’ bets — are added automatically for the player if their hand qualifies.
If a player’s first two cards total a hard 9, 10, or 11, the player automatically gets a ‘Free Double’, meaning that the player’s original wager is matched with a ‘Free Bet’ if the player clicks to choose the ‘Double Down’ option. The player then receives just one more card as they try to beat the dealer’s hand. In all other cases, the player can click ‘Double Down’. This allows players to double their main bet and receive just one more card.
If the player’s initial hand is a pair of cards of equal value, they can decide to ‘Split’ the pair to make two separate hands. If the player does choose to ‘Split’, they get a ‘Free Split’ on all pairs except for 10s, meaning that the player’s original wager is placed on the first hand, and the player receives a ‘Free Bet’ of the same amount on their second hand. Additionally available is the 7-seat version of this game – Free Bet Blackjack.
Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack (Evolution Gaming) – Power Blackjack
Power Blackjack is an exciting game variation based on our regular Blackjack and our Infinite Blackjack with the chance to win big. Players can now multiply their winnings compared to regular Blackjack. You can now choose to double, triple or quadruple a bet on any two initial cards, even after a split! There are no limits to when this can be done – any hand qualifies.
After choosing to double, triple or quadruple, only one additional card will be dealt to your hand, and the bet will increase depending on which multiplier you choose – 2x, 3x or 4x. The dealer will check for Blackjack on Jack, Queen, King and Ace to stop players from placing large bets if there is a chance that the dealer has got Blackjack. The game is played with 8 decks, where the 9s and 10s have been removed from each deck. Picture cards stay in the deck. This means that there are 64 cards less in the shoe compared to regular Blackjack.
Since there are no 9s and 10s in the deck, you now have the opportunity to try new strategies when playing the game. Power Blackjack comes with the same four side bets as all our Infinite Blackjack games: ‘Any Pair’, ‘21+3’, ‘Hot 3’ and ‘Bust It’. There is no ‘Six Card Charlie’ rule.
Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack (Evolution Gaming) – Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack
Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack is an exciting Infinite Blackjack variant that brings a twist to the classic game with unique features and enticing bonuses, creating an unparalleled gaming experience. In this variant, all 10s are removed from the shoe, adding an interesting strategic element. The ‘Six Card Charlie’ rule is not applicable in Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack. Players can choose to ‘Double Down’ at any decision point in the game, even on split hands, breaking away from the traditional constraint of doubling down only on the initial cards. This flexibility allows for more dynamic strategies and potentially higher rewards. Moreover, achieving a hand total of 21 guarantees victory over the dealer’s hand, even if the dealer also reaches 21.
The excitement is further amplified with four optional side bets: ‘Hot 3′, ’21+3’, ‘Bust It’ , and ‘Match’ , offering additional ways to win. The game also features ‘Bonus 21’ and ‘Super Bonus 21’ payouts, where players can earn Bonus payouts of up to 50:1 for specific combinations of cards. Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack is designed for players seeking a fresh and engaging approach to Blackjack, combining traditional elements with new, innovative features to create a uniquely entertaining gaming experience. Whether you’re a seasoned Blackjack player or new to the game, Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack brings endless fun and excitement with every hand.
