Which is the Most Popular Style of Blackjack on the net?
December 31st, 2006
As part of our half yearly survey of the online casinos rated by CasinoLabRat.com we asked a couple of questions specific to Blackjack.
The questions:
1. Of the selection of online Blackjack games you offer, which blackjack game is the most popular with members of your casino? (ie which game has the most player sessions per month on average)
2. Which blackjack game at your casino is the most popular based on total wagers? (ie the blackjack game with the highest ratio of money wagered to games played)
The top 5 online casinos we rate for specialist Blackjack play responded to these questions as follows.
A spokesperson from Blackjack Ballroom Casino responded “As you’d expect from our name, most players that are members at Blackjack Ballroom love their blackjack. Of the 30 Blackjack games we have on offer Single Deck Super Fun 21 is the most played game”. No information was available on the highest staked blackjack game.
Licensed in Kahnawake, Canada, Blackjack Ballroom is based on Microgaming casino software and is part of the Rewards Affiliates Group.
UK’s top online casino operators The Palace Group had this to say in response to our blackjack questions. “We have released quite a few new blackjack games in the last 6 months and so individual game stats don’t reflect a full year. I’d have to say though that the new Gold Series Blackjack series is proving our most popular range of Blackjacks. Vegas Strip and Vegas Downtown are just about even for game play over the last 3 months at Spin Palace Casino while Ruby Fortune Casino’s most popular Blackjack is still Classic European Blackjack.”
“The highest wagers are regularly placed on Classic European Blackjack, which is played with 2 decks and has a house edge of 0.39%”
BetFred Casino (operated by UK’s BetFred Sports Bookmaker) provided the following comments:
“We offer 5 blackjack games at present with a range of single player, multiplayer or even private group options. Single player 6-deck classic blackjack is by far our most popular game (ie most played) but the highest stakes are placed on UK Rules Blackjack Switch”.
We understand that Single hand 6 deck Blackjack games on Playtech Software have a house edge of around 0.46%.
Of the smaller, more boutique casinos rated by CasinoLabRat.com Pinnacle Casino responded as follows:
“Our casino offers a select group of 20 casino games all up including 2 very popular blackjack options. Blackjack is our second most popular casino game in terms of player sessions – second only to European Roulette. High Stakes Blackjack is the most popular blackjack game”.
“I guess this could be the sorts of players attracted by our current joining bonus and cash back deals”.
Pinnacle Casino is still open to US residents and offers a 10% first deposit match to $500 bonus but you need to make a $250 deposit to be eligible. In additional all players earn 0.3% cash back, paid daily.
Pinnacle Casino is based on software by Blue Chip Games and is part of Pinnacle Sports Worldwide, one of the largest Internet betting sites.
Wishing you all a great 2007!
