How the Blackjack Payout Table Actually Works
A standard blackjack payout table has three lines you need to memorise: a natural blackjack (an ace plus a ten-value card) pays 3:2, a winning regular hand pays 1:1, and insurance pays 2:1 if the dealer holds a natural. Some tables — particularly 6:5 variants found in certain Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play Live lobbies — reduce the natural payout, which shifts
the house edge noticeably. We label each table's payout ratio in the game header so you can compare Free Bet Blackjack Live against classic multi-deck tables before committing. Dealer rules, such as whether the house stands or hits on soft 17, also affect expected returns and are listed per table.
