There are important factors to consider before signing up at an online casino that offers live blackjack games. Firstly, the establishment must be licensed by a reputable industry entity such as the Alderney Gaming Control Commission, a regulatory authority known for its strict standards and rigorous enforcement of gaming laws in New Zealand and beyond. To acquire such a licence, as Jackpot City has, the casino needs to meet the criteria for fairness, transparency, and player protection.

Secondly, you should have access to responsible gaming tools, the likes of which Jackpot City provides. These include self-exclusion options, deposit limits, and access to support services for anyone who thinks they might be experiencing gambling-related issues. Ultimately, the enforcement of responsible gaming practices promotes and fosters healthy gaming habits.  

Live Blackjack Software

Jackpot City Casino’s live blackjack games are backed by software from two of the most renowned names in the industry. Evolution, established in 2006, has earned a reputation as a pioneer for delivering high-quality HD-streamed live gaming experiences with multiple camera angles, and interactive features, as can be seen in Live Infinite Blackjack and Live Lightning Blackjack. Similarly, Pragmatic Play, founded in 2015, has quickly risen to prominence as a top-tier live casino provider with live blackjack offerings like Live Speed Blackjack and Live ONE Blackjack, that are characterised by sleek design, user-friendly interfaces, and smooth gameplay.
