Live Sette e Mezzo By PlayTech Game Details

Sette e Mezzo has a long history as a casino game, but it’s mostly enjoyed by Italian players. Consequently, the online Sette e Mezzo Italiano game is conducted entirely in Italian. The popular Italian blackjack can be a fresh experience for non-Italian speakers as well, however. This is pretty much the only way to play Sette e Mezzo live online currently, but it’s a well-made game nonetheless.

You can play this online casino game here at Spin Genie.

Since the rules and gameplay are a little different to blackjack, it would be beneficial to run through an example hand to gain a broad overview of how the game is played, before looking at some of the rules in more depth.

Playtech’s Live Sette e Mezzo is played with one deck of cards, but not a standard one. It uses Neapolitan cards – or Sette e Mezzo Carte Napolitane. It consists of a deck of 40 cards with 4 suits – Clubs, Swords, Coins, and Cups. Each of the suits has Aces, cards from 2 to 7, and picture cards called Jack, Cavalier, and King. Ace is valued as 1, cards from 2 to 7 retain their face values, whereas Jacks, Cavaliers, and Kings are valued a half each. The only exception is the King of Coins which acts as a Wild card.

The aim of the game is to form a hand closest to a total of 7 ½. The deal opens with only 1 card for the player and 1 card for the dealer. Further action depends on the first card being King of Coins. If it is the first card you are given in the round, you are dealt a second card immediately. Should the dealer have the King of Coins as the first card in the hand, the player has to keep drawing cards until they reach 7 or more.

If your hand totals 7.5 with its first two cards, you get a natural, otherwise known as Sette e Mezzo reale.

If the total goes over seven and a half, the hand busts. Round actions come down to hit or stand and the dealer stands on 5 or more. There are also two side bets available – Partita Perfetta and Mano Di Poker – which are very similar to blackjack optional bets Perfect Pairs and 21+3. More on these can be found further down in this Sette e Mezzo Review.
