British supplier Realistic Games has launched the two of the world’s most popular blackjack side bet games.

Perfect Pairs and 21+3

Perfect Pairs and 21+3, which are both licensed by table games specialist Games Marketing, are proven performers in land-based and online casinos around the world.

Perfect Pairs is based on standard blackjack and gives players the opportunity to win bonus money by placing a wager on their first two cards producing a pair.

21+3 combines two of the most popular casino card games in one, as standard blackjack is joined by a side bet based on a three-card poker hand formed of the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s up card.

As well as exciting players and adding more opportunities to win, the games are great generators of additional revenues. Realistic Games commercial director, Andy Harris, said: “Our blackjack is very popular, but these two side bet games will only add to the thrill of playing it and the impressive returns for those who operate it.

“The fact that they work seamlessly across all desktop, tablet and mobile devices dovetails very nicely with their widely-acknowledged success in the land-based arena.”

Games Marketing CEO Chris Reynolds added: “Realistic’s blackjack is one of the very best available and their multi-channel approach reflects our own.

“It is a real compliment that they’ve chosen two of our side bets to give players an added dimension to what is the perfect snacking game.”

Among the leading names currently supplied with Realistic’s blackjack, who will have access to the side games, are bet365, BetVictor, Boylesports, Stan James, NYX, Paddy Power, Bede, Pocket Fruity and Spin Genie.
