Introducing the Exchange Games suite

Here's a quick run through of the games available; Poker, Blackjack, Baccarat and Hi Lo.

Exchange Poker

Heard of Texas Hold'em poker? Well if you haven't, here's a brief explanation. Texas Hold'em has recently taken the world by storm and has now become the most popular poker variant. The game is played by dealing out two cards to each player; five communal cards are then dealt. All players use these communal cards with own two cards to make up their best possible hand (out of five cards). Our version, Exchange Poker plays an automated four player open handed game of poker. The difference to traditional poker is that all hands are visible as soon as they are dealt. Players can then back or lay the hands they think will make the best poker hand. Like the exchange you can bet on multiple hands and outcomes, and even change your betting preferences during the game.

Exchange Blackjack

If you're struggling to work out how to price up a race, try Exchange Poker - it's pure maths, not opinion, so it may be easier to understand the ebbs and flows of prices.

Exchange Blackjack is based on the classic casino game, but with a Betfair twist that makes it even better. Like its casino equivalent the objective is to beat the dealer by getting a card total closer to 21 without going over (bust). We've added a few extra features like being able to wager on our blackjack side market e.g. '1 or more player's have 5 cards', 'All cards are unique', 'Only one player has 21' and plenty of other bets that are sure to interest.

Exchange Baccarat

James Bond's favourite pastime...well perhaps his second. Exchange Baccarat takes Bond's game to a new and more exhilarating level. Games are fast and the twists and turns will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. To shake it up each game can has the possibility of up to 6 rounds of betting and unique side bets.

Exchange Hi Lo

If you want a little extra excitement Hi Lo's definitely the game of choice. Each game has up to 11 betting rounds. Getting started is easy; simply back or lay the amount of cards in a sequence that you think the computer will predict correctly or incorrectly. The computer's strategy is simple; if there are an equal number or more cards above the last dealt card, then it will go higher, if there are more cards below, the computer will choose to go lower. So sit down, strap yourself in and get ready to ride the Hi's and Lo's.

Turbo versions of each game are available. As the name 'Turbo' suggest they are faster than their standard equivalents which definitely adds to the excitement.

So, if you fancy playing a game but feel you need to build a little more confidence before you get started take a look at our interactive demos which will give you an in-depth demonstration of each of the four great games.
