Blackjack review
Free Bet Blackjack is Evolution's blackjack with free doubles on hard 9, 10 and 11 and free splits on every pair except tens, paid for by the Push 22 rule.
When the dealer busts with 22, a player hand of 21 or less pushes instead of winning. The infinite-player version launched on 31 May 2019.
