Introduction

Blazing 7's™ is a blackjack side bet that pays based on the number of sevens in the player's first three cards. Pays start with just one seven in the first two cards and go up to a progressive jackpot for three suited sevens or three sevens in diamonds, depending on the version.

Note: Blazing 7's is trademarked by Bally Gaming.

Rules

I have heard of two versions of this side bet, as follows:

  • Version 1: Wins are based on the first three player cards. Wins for one or two sevens are based on the first two cards only. If the player hits, the first additional card shall count as the third card. If the player splits, then the first card dealt to the first hand shall count as the third card. If the dealer has a blackjack, then the player is capped at two cards.
  • Version 2: Wins are based on the first two player cards and the dealer up card. Wins for one or two sevens are based on the player cards only.

To make matters more complicated, not only are there two versions but two pay tables as well, as follow.

Pay Table 1

  • Three suited sevens: 100% of jackpot.
  • Three colored sevens: 10% of jackpot.
  • Three sevens 200 for 1.
  • Two sevens 25 for 1.
  • One seven 2 for 1.

Pay Table 2

  • Three sevens in diamonds: 100% of jackpot.
  • Three suited sevens: 10% of jackpot.
  • Three colored sevens: 500 for 1.
  • Three sevens 200 for 1.
  • Two sevens 25 for 1.
  • One seven 2 for 1.

Analysis

Between the two versions and two pay tables, there are four possible combinations. For my analysis of all four combinations, six decks of cards is assumed. All wins are on a 'for one' basis, meaning the player does not get his original bet back on a win. I have heard of bet amounts of $1 and $5. For statistics where the bet amount matters, I will present them for both a $1 and $5 bet.

Version 1 — Pay Table 1

The following return table is four Version 1 and Pay Table 1.

This free blackjack game is a great free source of entertainment where you can enjoy practicing and learning the game prior to opting for the real money blackjack version.

But youdon’t just have to play online multiplayer blackjack as a way to practice foryour real game, this is a great game to play at any time. The game is easy tolearn and easy to play at home or even on your mobile device.

Online Multiplayer Blackjack Table Layout

Getting toknow the layout of the multiplayer blackjack table is very important to yourunderstanding of how the game works, as well as your overall enjoyment of thegame.

Up to fiveplayers can sit at the virtual table at a time, each with its own bettingsquare in which to place chips and receive their cards. At the bottom of thescreen is a series of chip sizes, ranging from the table minimum of 1, 5, 10,20 and 50 chip values.

A simpledeal button allows you to quickly and easily place your bet in yourcorresponding betting square. The blackjack dealer position is in the topcenter of the screen, and cards are dealt from a shoe located on the top rightof the screen.

The Objective of Blackjack

The objective of blackjack is quite simple to understand. Every player is playing against the blackjack dealer as individuals, and not against each other as one would in poker. The idea is to achieve a score of 21 or as close to this score as possible without going over (called a bust). The objective is also to beat the dealer, either by achieving blackjack, or making the dealer bust.

How to Play Free Online Multiplayer Blackjack

Playingonline multiplayer blackjack is easy and, even if you’ve never played blackjackbefore, simply follow these easy steps.

Virtual

Step One: Taking a Seat

Online Blackjack For Real Money

Simply click on one of the player squares on the button marked “Sit”. Create a quick username and get ready to place your first bet.

Step Two: Place your Bet

If you’re playing the game for free, you will see that the game has already allocated you a bankroll to play with displayed at the top right corner of the screen. Keep an eye on this number as it will fluctuate according to whether you win or lose your bets.

Next, decide how much you want to be bet by selecting the appropriate chip size at the bottom of your screen. Once selected, a new button will appear marked “Ready”. Click on this button to place your bet. You will notice a countdown window which gives you a time limit on placing your bet. If you haven’t placed your bet by the end of the countdown, your bet will be cancelled and you’ll have to start again.

Step Three: Playing Your Hand

Once you’veclicked on the ready button, the dealer will issue your first two cards to you.A new window will appear giving your three options:

Virtual Blackjack
  • Hit = Receive another card
  • Double = Double your bet and receiveanother card
  • Stand = No additional cards areadded to your current hand

Again, you will be given a countdown to make your decision in. This is where knowing a bit of basic blackjack strategy will come in handy as it allows you to make the best choice based on the dealers face up card.

Step Four: Additional Betting options

  • Split = If your first two cards areof the same value, such as two 8’s or two Ace cards and so on. You can thensplit your hand into two separate bets, each with an equivalent stake. Thedealer will then play each hand separately, asking you to make choices for eachbased on the standard betting options.
  • Insurance = Sometimes the dealerwill ask if you want to take insurance on certain hands, usually when thedealer’s face up card is an Ace card. Insurance will pay you back half yourstake on a losing bet.
