OneTouch’s Classic Blackjack comes with a set of standard Blackjack features, with the addition of multi-hand play, which lets you have up to three hands in play at the same time.
This is a no-nonsense version of the game that sticks to the basics and delivers them with a stylish presentation. You can even pick the colour of the table itself, personalising it according to whatever suits you best.

OneTouch has gone for a minimal design that highlights the game’s feature set, giving the game a rather modern look that sticks to the standard Blackjack features we know and love. Our only criticism here is the relatively low payout potential. The highest win we managed to hit came up to ₹750,000 which is pretty low when compared to more rewarding titles out there.
Multi-Hand Play – We landed our biggest win with all three hands winning (one of them was split). You can activate up to three hands simply by placing a chip on their respective placeholder and hitting the deal button. Although more hands in play allow you to net bigger wins, they also make each round more expensive. So, you’ll need to keep an eye out on your progress to make sure your bankroll can support the bets you’re placing.
Split – Classic Blackjack lets you split a hand whenever it’s made up of two identical cards. You can then carry on playing with the two split hands. We took advantage of this whenever we could. It gave us a better chance of landing a winning hand, so we always went for it. You can even double on a split hand.
Double – Double down is allowed on hands with combined values of nine, ten and eleven. It can be quite tricky, so make sure you use it sparingly. The option only pops up when you have hands that can be doubled down, so you never need to worry about whether or not you can double down with a particular hand.
Insurance Bet – You can place insurance bets on the dealer’s hand. This pays out whenever the dealer beats you with their hand’s value. Classic Blackjack gives you a pop-up prompt on each hand to see if you’d like to cover any of your active hands during a round. We’re not big fans of the feature, since it doesn’t payout as well and could end up putting a hole in your bankroll in the long run.
OneTouch hits the nail on its head with Classic Blackjack. It’s easy to play, with all of the necessary features you’ll ever need for a great time at the virtual table. The multi-hand play feature is a nice addition too, giving you even more chances to beat the dealer and walk away with some winnings.
Winnings themselves are the main issue here. Classic Blackjack has a 10x maximum win and only allows bets of up to ₹150,000. So, while you can land some satisfying wins, you’ll never really hit any life-changing ones here.
You get a similar simple experience through Relax Gaming’s Blackjack. It’s not as visually put together as Classic Blackjack, but you still get insurance bets, three multi-hand play, double-down options, and a splitting function. The best advantage it has over OneTouch’s version is the increased maximum win at 6,000x your stake, which gave us our biggest win of ₹400,000.
Play’n GO’s Blackjack MH delivers another traditional Blackjack experience. You have all the same features, including insurance bets, double down, split and multi-hand play. But this time round, the maximum win is reduced, and you can only walk away with wins of up to ₹70,000.
