John Carew Blackjack |
The Yggdrasil Sonja and Lucky Blackjack games could be described as an animated live dealer game. Up to three players play at the same time. The dealer does a good job of keeping the game moving along. The blackjack rules on both are as follows:
- Six decks
- Dealer peeks for blackjack
- Dealer stands on soft 17
- Blackjack pays 3 to 2
- Double on any two cards allowed
- Double after split allowed
- Player may split once only (no re-splitting)
- No surrender
No unusual rules to speak of. Both my house edge calculator and the help files report a house edge of 99.54% or house edge of 0.46%.
Lucky Blackjack offers two side bets, as follows:
- Lucky Ladies — Lucky Blackjack follows the 100-30-10-3-1 pay table for a house edge of 6.22%
- Lucky Lucky — Lucky Blackjack follows the 500-200-100-25-15-3-2-1 pay table for a house edge of 7.07%.
Finally, I should mention that we received a press announcement in November 2019 from Yggdrasil about their new game "John Carey Blackjack." However, the announcement didn't give any information on the rules and I can't find any mention of it on their web site.

Roulette
Golden Chip Roulette | |
Yggdrasil offers a game called "Golden Chip Roulette." It plays like conventional single-zero roulette for all bets except those on a single number.
For single-number bets, the win is randomized. The possible wins are 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, and 500. These wins are expressed on a "for one" basis, unlike the other roulette bets.
The game rules do not state the probability of each single-number win, but do state the overall return on such bets is 96.8%. Remember, the standard odds of 35 to 1 (or 36 for 1) returns 97.3%. Using a little math, the average win on single-zero bets is 35.8 for 1, a little less than the usual 36 for 1.
