Blackjack has always been a fan favourite with the gambling community. While it may seem difficult to fathom today, early online casinos did not offer instant slots but focussed on card games and roulette.

The advances in live casino streaming breathed new life into these industry stalwarts, allowing long-time fans to re-engage with their old favourites while also introducing a new generation of players to the joys of table games.

 Back to Basics, But Better

While online blackjack and other instant games draw large numbers of players thanks to their simple rules, easy-to-learn gameplay mechanics, and favourable RTP (return to player) percentages, they generally cannot compete with the higher payouts offered in many Online Slots.

In an attempt to address this big win imbalance, renowned casino software developer Stakelogic Live released their high-value card game Super Stake Blackjack in November last year with surprising results.

Dejan Loncar, Head of Live Casino at Stakelogic Live, explains:

“Super Stake Blackjack has been a huge success for Stakelogic Live, so taking its features and adding them to our other Blackjack tables was an easy decision to make.”

Player reception has been so overwhelmingly positive that the developer has isolated the Super Stake feature, allowing it to be added to other live blackjack titles.

Prompting Loncar to add:

“This upgrade to the dedicated live blackjack tables will help take the blackjack experience to the next level and continue to elevate our blackjack tables as the most exciting products on the market.”

While Stakelogic Live has not provided a roadmap for the rollout of this feature, they have promised that every live variant they offer will eventually sport this enhancement, allowing players to boost their winning by up to 100 times per hand!

How Does Super Stake Work?

The Super Stake feature is an exciting way to add a random jackpot prize mechanic to the blackjack environment. While players can opt to play a standard hand of the game, activating the Super Stake feature is as simple as paying the Super Stake buy-in, which will always be 50% of your current stake.

This means you click the Super Stake button, and if you were betting €2 per hand, this now increases by 50% to €3 per hand. Switching it off is just as simple; pressing the Super Stake button again will deactivate the feature and lower your staked amount.

Six Super Stake bonus cards will be drawn when the feature is active and receive a random win multiplier of x2 up to x100. You will then be dealt your cards, and should any of the bonus cards be in your hand when you win the round, the corresponding multiplier will boost your payout.

With StakeLogic, blackjack games offering RTPs of 98.01% up to 99.51%, the addition of the Super Stake feature is expected to bring in a rush of card game players looking to cash in on this lucrative new win multiplier mechanic.
