Vinnie Jones Blackjack Blurs the Lines Between Gambling and Film
By Shane Addinall Nov 08, 2022 EntertainmentLarger-than-life bad boy Vinnie Jones makes his online gambling debut in the Real Dealer Studios cinematic table game Vinnie Jones Blackjack. Join us as we cruise the tables and learn more about this incredible new game.Vinnie Jones has grabbed international acclaim for his myriad roles as a gangster and all-around tough guy in movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Gone in 60 Seconds, and even a supervillain in X-Men: The Last Stand.
However, British soccer fans will remember him as a prominent goal scorer and troublemaker for the Wimbledon Football Club in the 80s and 90s. Jones and his teammates were nicknamed the Crazy Gang for their “cheeky and boisterously macho behaviour” both on and off the pitch. Despite their shenanigans, Jones and his raucous compatriots would go on to beat world-renowned Liverpool FC to claim the 1988 FA Cup.
Step Up to the Hardest Celebrity Dealer Ever
If you have ever wanted to play against an absolute legend, this is your chance. Real Dealer Studios are blending the social aspect of live dealer games with the speed, availability, and feature richness of RNG-table games with the launch of Vinnie Jones Blackjack.
In their first-ever celebrity dealer outing, they filmed cinema-quality takes of Vinnie Jones dealing blackjack at an exclusive table for players to enjoy worldwide.
Shane Cotter, Chief Product Officer at Real Dealer Studios, said:
“We’re effectively blurring the lines between the worlds of iGaming and film, particularly now with these celebrity titles. Apart from yielding an all-around better experience for players, it opens the door to some fantastic new game concepts.”
Don't expect some watered-down Hollywood version of Vinnie Jones. He's the same hard as nail geezer you loved as Big Chris and Bullet Tooth Tony. Only now, he’s dishing out cheeky quips about the cards in your hand instead of thrashing hooligans on the silver screen.
We Know It Glitters but Is It Gold?
Visually Vinnie Jones Blackjack is an absolute masterpiece. Real Dealer has elevated cinematic RNG games to a new dimension with movie-industry scripting, shot progression, and audio design.
However, they were not satisfied to stop there. Experientially, Vinnie Jones Blackjack is a fantastic table game, with its gimmicks and movie-level cutscenes building on its solid mathematical foundation.
Here is what the game offers at a high level:
- Max win: €29,250
- Bet Range: €1-€1000
- RTP: 99.51%
- Mobile: Yes
Creating a blackjack game that matches the high energy of Vinnie Jones required the developer to pull out all the stops, and to achieve this lofty goal, they loaded it with fantastic bonus features such as:
- 21+3 Side Bets – This side bet pays out 100:1 when the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s face-up card make a flush, straight, three-of-a-kind, straight flush or suited triple.
- 6 Card Charlie – Players automatically win the hand if they build a six-card hand without busting.
- Split Hands – Split any hand where the first two cards have the same value.
- Double Down – Double down on any opening hand and receive one more card.
- Insurance – When the dealer’s face-up card is an Ace, you can insure the round against them hitting a Natural.
If you love the idea of going head to head with Vinnie Jones, but blackjack isn't your game of choice, the developer also offers Vinnie Jones Roulette and will release Vinnies Jones Stories Roulette mid-November.
