Paradise Poker is owned by Sportingbet PLC, a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange and the world's largest online betting company. The site is certainly focused on poker – the blackjack offer is not clearly displayed on the front page, and you have to search a bit to get there. Paradise Poker also offers single hand, single player blackjack only. Although you can play for play money, you have to download the software first to get started.

Unlike many other sites, Paradise Poker offers a handy statistical chart which explains where you should hit, stand, double or split depending on your hand total and the dealer's visible card value. It is a useful strategy tool, especially to those of you who are new to the game.

Overall, Paradise Poker could improve access to their blackjack game – non-download demo plays and a better site layout would help.
