Net Entertainment Blackjack
NetEntertainment does not offer a download type of software. Players must choose between a java no-download version and a live dealer version. The games and rules are the same between the no download and live dealer versions. Both versions are slow in speed so it depends on whether the player would like to play with or without a dealer. Play is especially slow after the player busts. NetEntertainment software does not display the number of decks used in any of their online blackjack games. For our computing of payback, we assume there are eight decks.
There are three different table limits to satisfy all levels of players. Players may play for as little as ten cents. High rollers can play as high as $500 per hand. These limits apply to every game that is offered. Players that use GBP and Euros can bet even higher based on currency exchange rates.
