How to Play Live Blackjack Early Payout

Now that you understand the basics, let's discuss how a hand of BJEP transpires and how to win at Blackjack Early Payout. The game plays much like classic blackjack does, though you'll be at a three-seat blackjack table. We suggests you take the Basic Strategy advice until you get comfortable with the game interface and BJEP rules. Read through the guide below to see how a typical hand of Blackjack Early Payout plays out.

Place Main Bets: Start the hand by selecting a chip value. Choose a seat by choosing the center bet box on any one, any two, or all three of the seats at the table.

Place Side Bets: You can make side bets by placing chips to the right or the left of the main bet box. The Pairs side bet is located to the left of the main bet, while the Rummy side bet is located to the right of the main bet.

The Deal: Once bets are set, you enter the 'No More Bets' phase of the hand. The dealer deals two cards to each of the players (seats), while dealing two cards to the dealer hand.

Dealer's Hand: The dealer will have one up-card. If this card is an Ace, you can choose to buy insurance. The dealer's hand and all non-player hands are dealt according to basic strategy.

Player's Hand: Options like HIT, STAND, DOUBLE, or SPLIT are provided. Our software provides basic strategy tips, so you can play like a pro.

Early Payout: Each time you receive a card, you'll also be offered an early payout, so decide to take the payout or play the hand. For example, if you hold a 20 and the dealer is showing a 10, you'll be offered a 50%+ payout, which is smart to take.

Side Bets

Two side bets are available in Live Blackjack Early Payout. One is the Pairs side bet, which is similar to the Perfect Pairs Blackjack game. With the Pairs Bet, you'll receive an 11-to-1 payout anytime your hole cards are a pair. Whether you receive 4-4, Q-Q, or A-A, you receive the 11:1 payout.

The other side bet is the Rummy Bet. In this case, you receive a 9:1 payout if your first three cards come in sets. This might be a Three-of-a-Kind, a three-card straight, or a three-card flush. If any of these three combinations appear, you'll receive a 9-to-1 payout. The Rummy Bet provides many new options for a winning hand that you don't see in blackjack every day.

Live Blackjack Early Payout Odds

Live Blackjack Early Payout’s return-to-player is comparable to classic blackjack and better than many other online blackjack variants. What separates BJEP and makes it uncommon in online blackjack is the Basic Strategy prompts used in the game. Previously, a player had to study basic strategy and memorize charts which told how to play each hand. With Blackjack Early Payout, you can achieve optimal play simply by doing what the software tells you to do. The real challenge is deciding when to take the early payout or not.

BJEP's side bets have a higher house edge. Most bets in a casino with a higher payout have a lower expected return and Blackjack Early Payout's side bets are no different. The odds of winning are less than on the Blackjack Early Payout main bet, but the Pairs Bet has an 11:1 payout and the Rummy Bet has a 9:1 payout. Like so many other cases in this version of blackjack, players are given the option to deviate from optimal strategy to seek higher payouts.

Technical Interruptions

In the event technical interruptions happen to a game of blackjack, we follow the accepted policies in the casino industry. In live dealer blackjack, if a misdeal or other technical issues besides connectivity happens, then all hands are voided and all bets are returned to players.

If a player's Internet connection is interrupted during a hand, any bets you have made will remain in play. The bets are played until the bet wins, loses, or pushes. If you fail to respond in the allotted time, the hand continues. The software will play your hand according to basic strategy. You still have an optimal chance to win, but the hand could lose or push. Once the hand you bet on is over, you'll be logged out of the game until you place a new bet.
