Live blackjack is a popular online casino game at JeffBet IE, hosted by a real-life dealer. You can join a virtual table and take on the dealer to make a hand as close to 21 as possible.<\/p>\n
The game streams from a purpose-built studio, replicating the experience of playing cards on a casino floor, courtesy of Playtech and Evolution Gaming.<\/p>\n
JeffBet IE offers live dealer blackjack games, whatever your preferences and budget. Discover how live online blackjack works and how to play it today at JeffBet.<\/p>\n
Instead of playing a computerised version of online blackjack powered by random number generators (RNGs), live blackjack invites you to play this game in a real-world environment.<\/p>\n
A professional dealer hosts the action and deals the cards from a special studio, and this is broadcast live in HD via JeffBet to our players in Ireland.<\/p>\n
When you open the game, you\u2019ll see the dealer and have a short betting window to place your bets. You can then interact with the dealer, who will respond to your messages and involve you in the gameplay.<\/p>\n
As soon as the betting window closes, the dealer will deal you two cards and two cards for themselves, with only one face-up. You\u2019ll then decide to hit, stand, split, or double down until the game ends.<\/p>\n
As with all online blackjack games, you\u2019ll receive a payout if you beat the dealer\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
Though both are popular, live dealer and RNG blackjack are different games. The table below shows you the main differences between each of them to help you decide which to play:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s highly intuitive, engaging, and fun.<\/p>\n However, if you\u2019re not bothered about the interactive elements of the gameplay and want to play entirely at your own pace, RNG blackjack is the better option, thanks to its higher RTP.<\/p>\n The Rules & Options in Live Dealer Blackjack<\/h2>\nLive blackjack games have the same rules as RNG online blackjack titles. You take on the dealer and try to form a hand as close to 21 as possible without going bust. You can do the following to make your hand:<\/p>\n
