Ezugi was founded quite recently, in 2013 – making it one of the newer big names in the live casino arena. They now provide live casino games to nearly 100 online casinos. Among their selection of live blackjack games is an unlimited blackjack option, as well as Turkish and Spanish speaking live dealer tables.
Ezugi is one of the few live dealer developers right now that are happy to work with US-facing casinos. You can find their games on some New Jersey based casinos such as Betfair NJ. However, in trade-off for this – Ezugi does not currently have a UK licence, so their games are unavailable for UK players. For the rest of Europe however things should be fine.
Live Blackjack Features
House Rules
The general rules at Ezugi blackjack tables were as follows:
- Dealer stands on a soft 17
- Players can double after split
- Players can split only once
- Players can split aces
- Players only get one hit per split ace
- Surrender varies by table: some sources report early surrender against a dealer Ace at Ezugi’s standard tables, so check the game’s Help screen
Sidebets
When we reviewed it, only two side bets were available at Ezugi blackjack tables. These are your usual perfect pairs and 21+3 side bets. Perfect pairs pay out a cool 25:1, coloured pairs 12:1 and mixed pairs 6:1. 21+3 bets allow you to bet on the possibility of your hand and the dealers forming a poker hand.
They paid out as follows (paytables can differ by casino, so check the game’s help screen):
- Suited Trips: 100-1
- Straight Flush: 40-1
- Three of a Kind: 25-1
- Straight: 10 -1
- Flush: 5 – 1
A suited trips payout of 100-1 can obviously lead to big wins, but it is also rare.
However, in general, top-tier blackjack players will avoid side bets as they are far less likely to come through than just bets made sticking to a perfect blackjack strategy. Ezugi also offered insurance should the dealer show an ace, on the blackjack tables we looked at.
Mobile
Accessing Ezugi games on mobile was not as intuitive and graphically impressive as on desktop – but in general they worked fine. The user interface moved over nicely, with big and bright icons that make tapping your desired option simple and easy. However, the stream quality definitely suffered a little on mobile. Even with a strong connection, the video lacked the sharpness of their desktop blackjack offerings.
How you access Ezugi games on mobile mostly depends on the casino at which you find them, but there are Ezugi powered live casinos out there that offer apps for both Android and iOS devices. The games we tried in our mobile browsers worked fine, even on an older device, although like we said the stream video quality can dip a little at times.
Native & Private Tables
When we reviewed it, Ezugi did not appear to offer private, custom table technology (although we spotted some interesting 1XBet branded tables, so maybe it did?).
So whichever online casino you fire up an Ezugi blackjack table from – it will always be the same. Especially that carpet! They did however offer tables with live dealers speaking different languages. They had hired Turkish speaking live dealers for their blackjack tables, so one for Turkish blackjack fans to keep an eye out for. They also had Spanish speaking dealers on their books, as well as the usual English.
In Comparison
Whilst Ezugi’s tables didn’t match Evolution’s in sheer quality when we reviewed them, they did offer some interesting options. Ezugi is now part of Evolution (the deal was announced in 2018 and completed in 2019). Their unlimited blackjack table was well designed and had a clear interface that translated nicely to mobile. They’re also available to US customers (in New Jersey only when we reviewed it, so check current availability), which was a draw that many other live casino developers couldn’t match at the time.
However, their live studio could have done with a makeover in some cases, and they didn’t have a licence for UK players when we reviewed them. Altogether, a decent offering from Ezugi, although we didn’t see it topping the online blackjack field.
