RTG Suit ‘Em Up Online Blackjack Variant

Added: May 20, 2015

If you have been to land casinos in the gambling hot spots you may have noticed a new blackjack variant titled Suit ‘Em Up Blackjack. Now the leading software provider Realtime Gaming has released this game at its online casinos. So log in at your favorite RTG casino, try out this game for free to understand its nuances and then start with real money wagers.

Most innovative online blackjack games come with a side bet that pays out more than the regular 3:2 for blackjack and 1:1 for an ordinary win. This allows players who are willing to take slightly higher risks to be in with a chance of winning big. Suit ‘Em Up Blackjack is no different. You have to place the Suit ‘Em Up side bet up front along with your main game bet. If the first two cards dealt to you are of the same suit the side bet wins. After the side bet is paid out or forfeited, as the case may be, you play the main game in the usual manner. The side bet game and the main game are independent of each other.

What makes Suit ‘Em Up Blackjack more interesting is the wide range of payouts on the side bet. At the top is a pair of suited aces that pays 60 to 1. If you get a suited blackjack you will win 10 times your bet. A suited pair pays 5 to 1. A suited 11 pays 3 to 1. In this both the cards must be of the same suit and their values must add up to 11. Any other suited cards pay 2 to 1.

Suit ‘Em Up Blackjack can be played with 2, 6 or 8 decks. Expert online blackjack players will know that the house edge is lower for fewer decks in the straightforward main game. But in this online blackjack variant the house edge for the side bet is more for fewer decks. This is because you are more likely to get the suited combinations required when there are more decks. So when you opt to play Suit ‘Em Up Blackjack go for the maximum number of decks.

Realtime Gaming has released this blackjack variant simultaneously at its online casinos and mobile casinos. All you have to do is access the mobile casino web site on your smartphone or tablet and you will be given the special mobile version of the game. The rules and payouts are the same. The only difference is that the mobile version has relatively bigger buttons to compensate for the smaller screen size. You can play this game on any of the online casinos of the Club World group.
