Mega Fire Blaze Blackjack

A multiplier bonus bolted on properly

Mega Fire Blaze Blackjack is Playtech’s eight deck live table with two seats, each open to unlimited players, plus one optional bet. Achievements during normal play fill the Fire Blaze progress bar: a player’s first two cards totaling 14, Aces in the dealer’s hand and long dealer hands. Every five points unlocks a level, from Minor up to Mega, and the bonus plays after the hand: three spins drop multipliers into a grid, each new multiplier resets the count to three, and the higher levels add Star multipliers up to x100.

The blackjack stays intact

Because the feature lives entirely in the optional bet, the main game is untouched: eight decks, dealer stands on all 17s, 3:2 blackjack, double after split allowed, one split, no surrender, and ten cards without busting win automatically. The chart above plays the main hand exactly as it would at Playtech’s classic table, whatever you do with the Fire Blaze bet.

Pricing the dream

Playtech puts the Fire Blaze bet’s return at 97.47%, against 99.55% for the main game. Most rounds it simply burns, and the bonus makes up the difference rarely and spectacularly. Keep it a small, fixed fraction of your main bet and the table gives you solid blackjack with a lottery stapled to it.
