NextGen

NextGen Casino Blackjack

Though NextGen Gaming itself has pretty much ceased to exist as a company, having first been absorbed by NYX Gaming which in turn was bought by SG Digital, the games do live on. And not just the slots, but the different table games too. NextGen produced several different blackjack games, and some of these are still available. Others have fallen out of use as the technology used has become outdated.

Surprisingly, most of the available games look refreshingly modern. Not only do they come with support for mobile devices, but the animations and sound effects present are top of the line. When it comes to blackjack itself, the game is pretty straightforward and has been played the same way for hundreds of years. Yet, NextGen has found a way or two to change up the game. Let’s take a look at the details below.

Graphics and Interface

All of these games come with pretty much identical interfaces. Before you is the table, with the betting buttons, instructions and settings laid in visible positions without getting in the way. Of course, the table and such can take different shapes, depending on which variation of blackjack you end up playing.

The graphics aren’t complicated, and neither are they outdated. It’s a pretty simple setup, and it allows the game to run smoothly on any device. It’s not the same as a live dealer live dealer experience, and it doesn’t need to be. These blackjack games from NextGen are excellent for playing on the mobile, especially when doing so for short bursts.

Blackjack Variety

How do you add variety to blackjack? This is a game that has been run on the same setup for hundreds of years. One thing you can change are the betting limits. For example, Atlantic City Blackjack has you starting at hundred-dollar bets, making it fit for high rollers. European Blackjack goes to the other end, though obviously also allowing higher bets if you so choose. Anything with a VIP in its name is pretty much guaranteed to offer high table limits too.

The second way to offer variety is by tweaking the game rules. Believe it or not, there’s quite some room here. You do have to understand blackjack rules in general to make sense of these. For example, these things vary depending on the variation of blackjack you’re playing:

Finally, there is the addition of extra bets. Perfect pairs is probably the best example of these. If you want to add even bigger wins to the game, these side bets allow you to win many times over what you can on any normal hand. But then again, the chances of scoring that win is obviously lower too.
