All Bets Blackjack

All Bets BlackJack sits in the upper half of Origins’ nine-table blackjack catalogue, returning 99.58% to a player executing flawless basic strategy on every decision. That figure trails Quantum Blackjack Plus and Blackjack Surrender by a few hundredths of a percent, but it beats the corpus-wide average by 0.17 percentage points—a meaningful gap over tens of thousands of hands. The title “All Bets” suggests a wider-than-usual side-bet menu, though Origins does not publish the full rules set in marketing materials, so you will need to check the in-game paytable to confirm which optional wagers are offered and at what house edge.

How All Bets Blackjack plays

All Bets Blackjack is a single-hand RNG table. You place your main bet, receive two cards, and make the standard hit, stand, double, or split decisions against the dealer’s up-card. The interface is clean and responsive, with chip denominations, a deal button, and a rules or help screen accessible from the table view. Origins tables generally display the blackjack payout, number of decks, and whether the dealer hits or stands on soft seventeen in the paytable overlay, so open that screen before your first hand.

Because this is an RNG table, the virtual shoe is shuffled after every hand. There is no shoe penetration, no discards, and no opportunity to track the remaining composition of the deck. Each deal is an independent event drawn from a full shuffled shoe. That fact has a direct and important consequence for advantage play, which we address later.

Origins does not publish table limits for this game in the lobby, and the minimum and maximum bets vary by casino, licensing jurisdiction, and currency. Expect a minimum somewhere between 0.50 and 5.00 units and a maximum in the low hundreds for standard single-hand tables. The game scales to mobile without loss of functionality, and the dealing speed is adjustable in most implementations.

All Bets rules and what the name tells you

The title “All Bets” is not a standard blackjack variant descriptor like “European,” “Atlantic City,” or “Single Deck,” so it does not carry the same rule-of-thumb implications. The name almost certainly indicates an expanded suite of side bets—Perfect Pairs, 21+3, or insurance variations—rather than a change to the base-game mechanics. That matters because side bets almost always carry a far higher house edge than the main game, often in the range of 2% to 8% or more, and they increase session variance without improving expected value.

Origins does not confirm in public materials whether this table uses European no-hole-card procedure or American dealer peek, how many decks are in play, or whether the dealer hits soft seventeen. Each of those rules shifts the house edge by a few hundredths of a percent. The 99.58% RTP figure is the definitive answer—it already bakes in the complete rule set—but knowing the individual rules helps you adapt basic strategy correctly and compare this table to others in your rotation. Check the in-game rules screen before you play for money.

If the game offers late surrender, use it. If it allows doubling after split or re-splitting aces, those rules both favor the player and should inform your decisions on pairs. The absence of any of these rules is not a deal-breaker at this RTP level, but you need to know what you are playing.

Reading the 99.58% return figure

The published RTP of 99.58% assumes you play perfect basic strategy on every single hand: you hit sixteen against a dealer ten, you stand on seventeen against a seven, you split eights, you double eleven against a six, and you never take insurance at standard 2:1 odds. Basic strategy is not a betting system or a hunch; it is a solved mathematical chart that minimizes the house edge for every possible player total versus every dealer up-card. If you deviate from the chart—standing on sixteen against a ten because it “feels” safer, or doubling ten against a dealer nine because you are on a heater—you are giving back edge, and your realized return will fall below 99.58%.

A casual player who knows the broad strokes of strategy but guesses on close decisions typically realizes an RTP somewhere between 98.0% and 99.0%, depending on the frequency and cost of the mistakes. That gap sounds small, but over ten thousand hands at £5 per hand, the difference between a 0.42% house edge and a 1.5% house edge is £540. Learn the chart, or at least carry a simplified strategy card while you play the free demo.

The 99.58% figure is a long-run expectation. In any single session of a hundred or two hundred hands, variance dominates. You can play perfectly and finish down, or play poorly and finish up. RTP describes what happens over tens of thousands of hands, not what happens tonight.

Where the house edge actually comes from

The house edge in blackjack—0.42% for this table—exists because the player acts first. If you bust, you lose your bet immediately, even if the dealer subsequently busts on the same round. That structural asymmetry gives the house its mathematical advantage, and no amount of skillful play erases it. Basic strategy minimizes the edge; it does not eliminate it.

Individual rules move the edge up or down from a baseline. A 3:2 blackjack payout is standard and fair; a 6:5 payout costs the player roughly 1.4 percentage points and is the single most damaging rule change a casino can make. The dealer standing on soft seventeen rather than hitting it returns about 0.2% to the player. Fewer decks favor the player slightly, as do permissive double and split rules. European no-hole-card procedure costs the player a few hundredths when the dealer shows an ace or ten, because you can lose a doubled or split bet to a dealer blackjack that would have been revealed immediately under American peek rules.

The 99.58% RTP tells you that the sum of this table’s rules produces a 0.42% edge, which is competitive. For comparison, Cashback Blackjack from the same provider returns 99.55%, three basis points lower, while the category average sits at 99.41%. If you are choosing between otherwise equivalent tables, the higher RTP is the better bet, but the difference between 99.58% and 99.68% matters far less than the difference between playing basic strategy correctly and guessing.

Does card counting work here?

No. Card counting relies on tracking the changing composition of the remaining deck as cards are dealt and discarded, and betting more when the remaining shoe is rich in tens and aces. All Bets Blackjack is an RNG table that reshuffles the virtual shoe after every single hand. There is no depletion, no memory, and no composition bias to exploit. Each deal is drawn from a full reshuffled shoe, so the count resets to zero before you see your first card.

This is not a limitation of your skill or your system; it is a structural fact. The game does not have a shoe to count. Attempting to apply a counting system to this table will produce random noise, not an edge. If you want to count cards, you need a live dealer table with a physical shoe, disclosed penetration of at least 75%, and table conditions that tolerate bet spread and mid-shoe entry. None of those conditions exist here.

RNG blackjack is a game of correct basic strategy and controlled bankroll, not advantage play. That is not a criticism—it is a description. The 99.58% RTP is yours if you play the chart. That is a better return than you will find at most live tables with poor rules and shallow penetration, and it is available in the free demo without risk.

Bankroll and unit sizing

A general rule of thumb for blackjack session bankroll is to bring at least fifty to one hundred times your base unit. If you are betting £2 per hand, bring £100 to £200. That cushion allows you to survive the natural swings of the game without running out of money during a cold stretch. Blackjack variance is lower than slots but higher than baccarat; expect runs of five or six losing hands, and expect your bankroll to visit both 70% and 130% of its starting value in a session of typical length.

Do not chase losses by increasing your bet size after a losing hand. Betting progressions such as the Martingale—doubling your bet after every loss until you win—change the shape of your variance, not your expected value. They produce frequent small wins and rare catastrophic losses, but the long-run cost remains 0.42% of total money wagered. A bad run will eventually exceed your table limit or your bankroll, and when it does, the progression fails completely.

Set your budget before you start, treat it as the cost of entertainment rather than a source of income, and stop when you hit it. Blackjack is a negative-expectation game, meaning the house wins more than it loses over time. A 99.58% RTP is excellent for a casino game, but it is not break-even. Play for recreation, not profit. You must be eighteen or older to play for real money, and if gambling is causing you harm, contact GamCare, BeGambleAware, or your local support service.

Verdict

All Bets Blackjack offers a clean, competitive single-hand RNG experience with a 99.58% RTP that beats the category average and sits comfortably in the upper tier of Origins’ own catalogue. The house edge of 0.42% is fair, the game is available in free demo, and the interface is straightforward. If the title delivers on its implied promise of a broad side-bet menu, those wagers will carry a significantly higher edge than the main game, so treat them as entertainment rather than strategy.

The absence of published deck count, soft-seventeen procedure, and blackjack payout in marketing materials is a minor frustration, but the RTP figure is trustworthy and the rules screen inside the game will fill the gaps. If you are building a rotation of single-hand tables, this one belongs in it, though it will not displace the very top Origins releases on RTP alone. Play basic strategy, ignore betting progressions, and use the demo to confirm you like the interface before you commit real money.
