Online casinos have developed a huge number of variations on famous card games. These are often based on specific themes, and we have seen the introduction of several sport themed card games online. Continue below as we look at the best sport themed card games, beginning with Frankie
Dettori’s Magic Seven Blackjack.
This sport themed card game is developed by Playtech, and you can play with one, two, or three hands against the dealer. The game itself is based on the traditional form of blackjack, making it suitable for beginners and experienced players, but there is one distinctive feature and that is the
range of special payouts. When playing the game, you have the option to place what is known as a ‘Magic Seven Side Bet’ and this matches the original bet. However, when placing the ‘Magic Seven Side Bet’, trophies begin to appear randomly in the top right corner of the cards being dealt and you must collect at least two trophies in a single round or consecutive rounds. A maximum of seven trophies can be collected and the more you have, the higher the payout.
Regular online casino players believe Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven Blackjack is one of the best blackjack variations available online today and perhaps the leading sport themed card game.
Moving on with the best sport themed card games and we come to Live Football Studio. This game was produced by Evolution Gaming and launched in June 2018 to coincide with the FIFA World Cup
in Russia. In terms of simplicity, you will struggle to find an easier game to play at an online casino and Live Football Studio features two teams, home and away. The teams are represented by the colours red and blue, and each team is dealt cards. The cards are then compared with each other
and the team with the highest card wins the game, with a draw being declared if the value of the cards is equal.
In total, there are only three betting options during a game of Live Football Studio. Home wins a payout of 1:1, away wins a payout of 1:1, and a draw wins a payout of 11:1. If you bet on home or away to win and the result is a draw, you get 50% of your stake back. In addition to the game itself,
there is a live football news feed from the real world, and it is possible to discuss football topics with the dealer, making Live Football Studio one of the best sport themed card games.
At the time of writing, we do not have the same great selection of sports related card games as we do sports-based slots games. There is a European football-based roulette game but we are still waiting for the sport themed card game world to take off.
