Swedish provider of Live Casino solutions Evolution Gaming has added two new titles to its stacked roster of games. Free Bet Blackjack and 2 Hand Casino Hold’em have extended the company’s line-up of Live Blackjack and Live Poker tables, as Evolution Gaming announced in a press release from earlier today.
Free Bet Blackjack is the latest release in Evolution Gaming’s ‘Infinite’ family of Live Blackjack titles. Similarly to the supplier’s Infinite Blackjack, its newest title provides unlimited seats for players at a single table. Automatic Free Bets on selected Double Down and Split bets are also part of the new game’s features.
Presenting its game, Evolution Gaming has explained that all players at the Free Bet Blackjack table are dealt a single hand. Each player is then able to play their two cards as they wish and to decide on their own betting actions. This is made possible by Evolution Gaming’s advanced technology that “combines the live dealing of physical and virtual cards directly to each individual player.”
During each game round, players are automatically offered Free Double Down bets on two-card hard total of 9, 10, 11 and Free Split bets on pairs except 10s, if their hands qualify for those. Free Bet Blackjack also offers four side bets – Any Pair, 21 + 3, Hot 3, and Bust It – as well as the six-card Charlie rule.
Of the their new Live Blackjack game, Evolution Gaming Chief Product Officer Todd Haushalter said that their new release is based on one of the most popular blackjack varieties currently played at land-based casino, so they “are confident it will be a big hit with players.”
The 2 Hand Casino Hold’em
As for 2 Hand Casino Hold’em, Evolution Gaming’s other new release, it is being promoted as “another unique poker variant” from the Live Casino game developer. The game offers the chance for an unlimited number of players to play against the house.
Players are dealt two separate hands and are offered the choice of playing one or two hands. An optional AA Bonus bet is also among the features 2 Hand Casino Hold’em includes. Evolution Gaming said that the game’s features encourage more game rounds.
According to game stats, the fast-paced action the two-hand poker game offers has resulted in 70% more games being played in a typical gaming session compared to Evolution Gaming’s standard Live Casino Hold’em.
Mr. Haushalter said that the two hands for every player means “a doubly entertaining experience with increased fun, betting options, and chances to win” as, unlike in standard poker where if a player loses their hand, the game is over, with the 2 Hand Casino Hold’em – “the fun and suspense keep on coming.”
Earlier this month, Evolution Gaming debuted its Deal or No Deal Live 24/7 game show, the result from its collaboration with Endemol Shine Gaming. Of its new game, the Live Casino provider has said that its aim was to stay true to the real game show’s format while creating “a uniquely entertaining online live gaming experience.” The creation of the new game involved building “one of the most complex studio sets,” Evolution Gaming has also revealed.
