Lucky Streak Live Blackjack

When we reviewed it, all Lucky Streak’s blackjack tables were essentially the same. There were no VIP or Punto Banco variants, just straight up Vegas blackjack on (sort of) unlimited tables using an eight-deck shoe. Vegas rules means the dealer draws twice on the first pass, meaning they could possibly instantly pull a blackjack and end the hand. Unlimited tables mean unlimited players can play at the same table, without all having to have a seat.

Where this differs from true unlimited tables, is that it is a bet-behind system. In this format, you can bet on another players hand – but you have no control over the plays they make. If you find a strategic (and hopefully lucky) player, this can work well for you. However, find a player who enjoys hitting on a 19 and standing on a seven? Well, you can imagine it might not be the best option to maximise your returns. Still at least you can enjoy some kind of play while you wait for a seat to free up, and it does offer an extra level of anticipation.

Aside (excuse the pun) from bet behind, Lucky Streak blackjack tables also offer 21+3 and perfect pairs side bets. However, they are a little different from the how they operate at some casinos.

Perfect Pairs – This side bet often comes with three or four different pay-outs, for options such as mixed pairs or suited pairs. When we reviewed it, Lucky Streak had only one pay-out, 25:1 for getting dealt a perfect pair.

21+3 – This side bet lets you bet that a poker hand (usually either flush, straight, three of a kind and straight flush) will appear from a combination of your hand and the dealer’s. At most live casino blackjack tables, there will be a range of pay-outs based upon the different odds of each hand occurring – not so at Lucky Streak. At Lucky Streak all four results paid 9:1 when we checked.

One last feature we thought we should mention at Lucky Streak blackjack tables was the pre-decision buttons. Unlike most live blackjack tables we had played, here you could lock in your play before it is your turn to do so. Pulled a 20 and the dealer a 16, but you’re last in the turn queue? At Lucky Streak, you could lock in your stand ahead of your turn. Thereby freeing up your time to think about your next move. Or even tab out and check your socials – although we don’t recommend that for serious players!
