DraftKings Casino game review: WWE Blackjack
Wild Casino

DraftKings Casino is one of the leaders in the iGaming industry, and they’re home to many DK-exclusive titles, including WWE Blackjack.

After launching back in 2012, DraftKings quickly established itself as a iGaming powerhouse. The DK Casino is very highly-rated by users, despite being more known as a sportsbook operator.

Here, we will take an in-depth review of the DraftKings WWE Blackjack title:

Are you a fan of professional wrestling and the WWE? You’re in luck, because DraftKings Casino has an exclusive WWE-themed Blackjack title—and it’s very fun.

Upon entering the game’s lobby, a pop-up will appear that states “Join Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and a roster filled with your favorite WWE Superstars as they make their way into the ring to do battle Blackjack style”. If you’re a pro wrestling fan, that will certainly get you hyped up to play.

The user interface of the game shows a bird’s-eye view of the famed WWE ring, which is a cool look in our opinion. You should know heading in that the minimum bet per hand is $1, while the maximum wager per hand is $5,000.

After selecting how much you’d like to bet, click “Deal”, and the game begins. The back of the cards feature some of the biggest WWE stars, which is a nice touch. Additionally, you have the opportunity to unlock different ring colors by earning wins against the dealer.

In DraftKings WWE Blackjack, you’re essentially playing your own pro wrestling career. Collect WWE Title Belts by earning winning streaks of 3, 5, 7, and 9. Each streak will unlock a unique belt. Unlock all of the belts to become “King of the Ring”.

You’ll notice right away that DraftKings puts a lot of effort into making the user experience as good as possible—and they knock it out of the park. It’s a Stone Cold Stunner if you will.

When it comes to actually playing DraftKings WWE Blackjack, you’ll see that the game plays smoothly. Buttons respond without delay and cards are dealt without lag.

Overall, we believe that you will thoroughly enjoy playing DraftKings WWE Blackjack, especially if you’re a fan of the sport.

It’s always important to know the table game’s pay table prior to betting your real money. Below, you will find how you’ll get paid for each hand’s possible outcome:

For example, if your hand gets Blackjack on a $10 bet, you’ll get paid $15 (3:2). Meanwhile, a regular win against the dealer on a $10 bet will pay out $10 (1:1). A push will give you your $10 bet back.

RTP is an acronym that you’ll see often when playing casino games online. It stands for return to player, and it’s relayed in the form of a percentage. The DraftKings WWE Blackjack game has an expected return to player percentage of 99.62% in the long term.

Now, this is a theoretical percentage based on your adhering to a traditional Blackjack strategy. Each game’s outcome is entirely independent, and your results may vary considerably.

The important rules for this specific game are below:

  • Dealer must draw on 16 or less
  • Dealer must stand on all totals of 17 or more
  • Aces can only be split once
  • Split Aces are dealt one card per hand
  • Four split hands max (besides Aces)
  • Double down on any two cards
  • Double down after splits (besides Aces
  • Eight decks used, shuffled after each hand

If you’re a new DraftKings Casino user, you can take advantage of their generous welcome bonus. DraftKings actually gives new users two choices for a welcome bonus. You can take a deposit match up to $100 in casino credit, or you can take a more lucrative 100% deposit bonus up to $2,000.

The reason the $2,000 bonus isn’t the obvious choice is because of the playthrough requirement attached to it. You need to playthrough 15x the amount of your deposit to actually be able to withdraw the money. For example, if you deposit $1,000, you’d have to wager through $15,000 (15 X $1,000) before any of that money becomes eligible for withdrawal. On top of that, not all games contribute dollar for dollar towards fulfilling the requirement. Here’s how the percentages breakdown:

So if you’re playing slots, you’d have to wager $15,000 to release the welcome bonus money. For blackjack and other live dealer games, you’d need to wager considerably more. The first welcome bonus option, however, the $100 bonus, only comes with a 1x playthrough requirement.

Signing up is incredibly easy, just follow these steps:

  1. Click “Log In | Sign Up”
  2. Enter email and phone number, create username and password
  3. Enter full name, birthday, last four digits of your social security number, and address
  4. Scan your Driver’s License or state-issued ID to verify your identity
  5. Agree to terms and conditions
  6. Select which bonus you want to sign up with

It’s that simple. Now you can start playing.

All things considered, DraftKings WWE Blackjack is an outstanding gaming experience. Some members of our review team aren’t particularly fans of pro wrestling, but they still had a ton of fun playing this blackjack variation.
