When it comes to online and mobile blackjack games in NZ, some titles have side bets that are unique to that game.

But Switch European Blackjack is standard fare, with betting options all seasoned blackjack enthusiasts will be familiar with. We discuss in more detail below:

Insurance Bet

• Offered if the dealer’s initial face up card is an Ace, as Insurance against the dealer’s hand being Blackjack.
• Insurance is half your original bet and will pay out 2:1 if the dealer gets Blackjack.
• If the dealer doesn’t get Blackjack, the Insurance is lost, and the cost taken off your credit balance.
• Insurance can only be taken up on your first hand.

Double Down Bet

• Offered if your first two cards make up a hard hand with a combined value of 9, 10, or 11.
• The purpose is to double your original bet and get one extra card in return.
• After a Split you may not Double Down.

Split Bet

• Offered when your initial two cards are of equivalent value.
• Gives you the option of splitting your cards into two distinct hands.
• By splitting a pair of 10s and drawing an Ace, it counts as 21 but is not Blackjack – the same will apply if you split Aces and draw a card valued at 10.
• A Split can only occur once per game to equal two hands.

To play blackjack online for real money in NZ, it’s important that you understand the bets and their rules.

That way, you can build your online blackjack strategy for a more enjoyable and potentially rewarding gaming experience. In Switch European Blackjack, the payouts include:

• 3:2 for Blackjack.
