Soiree Live Blackjack Review

Live Soiree Blackjack is Playtech's VIP game variant played in an elegant-looking environment dressed in black. The table uses 8 decks and features 7 seating positions. Should all of them happen to be taken,

Waiting List feature allows you to enter the table as a Watcher or join the waiting list. One can also participate as a Bet Behind player and place wagers on a hand dealt to a seated player. A range of side bets offers additional win opportunities and includes Player / Dealer Pair (Perfect, Coloured, Red / Black) and 21+3.

Menu button on the left offers you to manage game settings and display tooltips when hovering your mouse over a particular betting option, or hide your bets from other players playing at the same table.

It will also allow you to adjust volume of the dealer's voice and game sounds, decrease or increase video quality, double-check game rules, make a quick deposit, or visit the Lobby.

After the standard 30 minutes per dealer have expired, and depending on how the game unfolds, you can try your luck with a different dealer or ask that your current host remains seated. Another VIP element is an option to ask for a shoe change or a reshuffle. Betting limits at BGO start at €50 and go as high as €10,000.

Supports Player / Dealer Pair and 21+3 side bets
VIP options include shoe change / reshuffle and an opportunity to switch or keep current dealer

It seems Playtech has launched Soiree Blackjack to compete with Evolution's Salon Privee tables, and I have to say their attempt looks very VIP. What's even better is that they did more than simply dress-up the environment to make this a high-roller game. You're bound to feel like a VIP when offered to change shoes and keep the dealer that's been handing you great cards. Other than these little perks, one can still enjoy standard game features including the two popular side bets. Minimum limits generally seem lower than those usually found at VIP tables, but that could be a temporary thing to stimulate trial; the game was launched as recently as March 2018 and is therefore still very new.
