Live Evolution Blackjack Cash Out Feature Added to Speed & Classic Table Variants

Evolution’s live classic blackjack and live speed blackjack table games now come with an additional cash-out option available as soon as the dealer delivers the player’s first two cards. However, the feature doesn’t stop there. You can still opt to cash out even after you have ‘hit’ for more cards. The amount offered if you choose to cash out is a mathematical equation calculated by the table’s software and it is entirely up to you whether you take the deal.

If you play mathematically, the best time to cash out is with a ’15-hand total Vs a dealer card of 10′ OR a ’16-hand total Vs dealer totals of 9, 10 or A’. Most basic strategy charts that include the surrender option will tell you to give up your hand under these circumstances. In this case, it will be down to you take a deal.

Is this technically a surrender option? Yes, it is similar to blackjack surrender in many ways, but an enhanced version created by the bigwigs at Ezugi. As a result, you can use basic strategy charts to help you decide when to use the cash-out feature. Surrender and cash out are perfect for some of the worst hands in blackjack including 15 or 16-hand totals.
