Playtech Launches Live Blackjack with Cashback
In partnership with Stoiximan/Betano, Playtech has developed its first multi-player live dealer blackjack game that gives players the option to “Cashout” their hand before the end of the game round.
Cashback Live Blackjack
Playtech Live Blackjack with Cashback is based on its popular RNG Blackjack game, which has been modified to appeal to live casino players.
Playtech is not the first operator to offer a cashback facility, but it is the only tier one live casino operator offering a game with this facility.
Quite often this game is referred to Blackjack with Early payout or Blackjack Surrender – the difference being when you can take the decision to cash out.
The table is based on the AllBets Blackack table, which allows an unlimited number of players to play the same hand while allowing each to play as if the hand is their own.
Like AllBets Blackjack there are 6 optional side bets, 21+3, Buster Blackjack, Dealer Pair, Lucky Lucky, Player Pair and Top 3.
The Cashback feature is offered as one of the playing options during each game round, so in addition to being able to Hit, Stand, Double or Split, you’re also able to take the Cashback.
If the player has split a hand – cashback is offered as an option on both hands.
Edo Haitin, CEO, Playtech Live, commented:
“The development of Cashback Blackjack Live has been a truly collaborative effort and takes our partnership with Stoiximan/Betano to a new level. Stoiximan/Betano is already one of the leading operators in the Greek market, and we’re committed to working closely with them to not only build on this position but also extend that success into further territories.
“Thanks to a fantastic initiative from our friends at Stoiximan/Betano group and a great effort from the development teams on both sides, we’ve been able to deliver a dynamic new experience for players in record time, which emphasizes our strategy of equipping our partners with scalable dedicated solutions while still providing players with a fun and personal game experience. The Cashback concept is of course well-established in Sports betting, so we’re very interested to see how players will respond to it in a Live Casino setting, where there’s interaction with a dealer and other players. We’re confident players will find Cashback Blackjack Live a highly engaging experience”.
Christos Mavridis, Live Casino Manager at Stoiximan/Betano added:
“Product innovation, wide game offer and optimum customer experience have always been among our priorities at Stoiximan/Betano. We’ve already seen a fantastic response to Cashback Blackjack as an RNG game, so we are very much looking forward to delivering a new experience for our players with the first Live version. Having worked closely with Playtech for some time now, we were well aware of their track record in producing innovative new content and game variants. As such, we felt they were the ideal partner for the development of Cashback Blackjack Live, and we’re sure our players will be just as impressed with the finished product as we are”.
At the time of this press release the game is only available at Stoiximan/Betano, but it’s sure to become available to the whole of the Playtech Live Casino network.
