What Amatic makes
Amatic is really two businesses. The older one builds physical gaming equipment for land-based casinos and arcades: multi-game cabinets like the Performer C22 and the twin-screen Amarox C24, automated multiplayer roulette sold under the Grand Jeu name, and the jackpot and management systems that sit behind a casino floor. The newer one, which is what you meet online, puts that same catalogue of games on the internet under the name AMANET. Online, Amatic is a slots studio above all, best known for Book of Aztec and a long line of fruit-and-gems machines like Hot Fruits and Cool Diamonds. If those feel familiar it is deliberate: Amatic’s slots are cut from the same cloth as the classic Austrian bar-room games, though Amatic is an independent company in its own right, not part of the larger Novomatic group it is sometimes confused with.
Amatic and blackjack
Blackjack is a small corner of what Amatic does, not a speciality. It makes a straightforward software blackjack, dealt by a random number generator and sometimes listed as Blackjack 21, that plays by fairly standard Vegas-style rules with no side bets; there is no live dealer version. It is perfectly playable, but if you have come here for blackjack specifically, understand that Amatic is a slots and gaming-machine company that happens to offer a blackjack table, rather than a studio that specialises in the game. Whichever Amatic table you sit at, read the rules it shows you, set exactly those in our blackjack strategy engine, and it will give you the correct play.
