House Rules

The main house rules of NetEnt blackjack tables, can be summed up as follows:

• Dealer must stand on a 17
• Dealer must hit up to 16
• Players can only hit once on a split ace.
• In a split hand, ace and a jack does not count as blackjack.
• If you have blackjack and the dealer pulls an ace, you can settle your bet for even money.
• Players can double down after a split.

Most of these are pretty standard, except being allowed to double down after a split which not always the case with live online casinos.

Mobile

NetEnt’s blackjack tables recently underwent a visual overhaul of their user interface, which mainly involved hiding a lot of the betting information and game history in a sidebar menu. This makes the gameplay area cleaner and more practical for mobile and desktop players. However, it can also make that information more difficult and fiddly to access for players using an older mobile device or one with a smaller screen.

The scrolling lobby system is also practical for mobile users. The Mr Green Live Experience was originally designed exclusively for mobile too, so you can tell NetEnt have decent experience when it comes to optimising their game designs for mobile play.

In our experience the streams were always stable and of good quality, even on older mobile devices. Whether you’re playing on the latest iPhone X or a budget Android model, NetEnt’s games will look great and play smoothly.

Native & Private Tables

The green screen option also allows NetEnt to experiment when it comes to private tables. For example, at Rizk Casino, the virtual mascot Captain Rizk pops in and out of the table background casting his watchful eye over the 21 card tables. And at Mr Green Casino, NetEnt have gone all out on the virtual studio angle with the Mr Green Beyond Live Feature.

This one-of-a-kind experience offers the chance to play in a virtual penthouse casino suite, where you can freely move about between the different tables without using a lobby system. As you can see all the tables in the background while you play at the others, the immersive attraction here is obvious.

In Comparison

While NetEnt’s Blackjack tables might not live up to the dizzying all-round excellence of Evolution Gaming’s offering, there are certainly many reasons to give them a try. The green-screen format will definitely have appeal for many players, and the different house rules could attract blackjack experts looking to try something new.

The Mr Green Beyond Live Experience and Common Draw Blackjack are also two unique and worthwhile attractions to any NetEnt powered online blackjack collection. Why not try them out today?
