Pragmatic Play Software: Energizing 586 Reviewed Online Casinos

Introduction

Pragmatic Play is a new name for a set of software that was previously called TopGame, which has been in operation for several years. The group operates a software that is available for play in most regions throughout the world, including the United States. Unfortunately, many of the casinos using Pragmatic Play software are rogue operations, with only a handful of the sites using them being worth your time. I tried not to let that skew my opinion on the developer as I took a look at the company’s games.

Blackjack

There are two blackjack games I’m aware of — Royal Blackjack and Multihand Blackjack. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find rules for them anywhere. However, between the table felt, playing one hand (the account I played had only a few dollars left), and the basic strategy chart, I can at least infer the following:

• Dealer stands on a soft 17
• At least four decks are used
• Player can double on any first two cards
• Double after a split is allowed
• Dealer takes a hole card and peeks for blackjack
• Surrender is not allowed

About the only major rule not covered is whether re-splitting is allowed. If we assume six decks of cards and no-resplitting, which is usually the case with Internet casinos, then the house edge would be 0.46%.

About the basic strategy card, there is clearly an error if the player has a 13 to 16 and the dealer is showing a 2. The card says to hit. The odds favor standing under any realistic set of rules.

Please note the return table below reflects the rules stated above, which are out best guess, based on limited information.

The following table shows the Blackjack games available in alphabetical order.

Live Dealers

Pragmatic Play also offers live dealer games. As of this writing in March 2020, all we know about it is from the Pragmatic Play web site, which lists six games: roulette, roulette, speed roulette, baccarat, speed baccarat and blackjack. We will update this review as we get more information.
