Should you play it?

The felt carries the same rules as Classic Blackjack: eight decks, 3:2 blackjack and a dealer who stands on 17. The difference is pace, because the dealer serves whoever decides first instead of going seat by seat.

Play it if

  • You decide quickly and dislike waiting for other seats
  • You want nonstop action from a live dealer
  • You like Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets

Variance profile

Low. Each hand swings like any plain blackjack hand, but the faster pace puts more money in play per session.

Basic strategy for this table

Worked out for these rules: 8 decks, dealer stands on soft 17, double on any two cards, double after split, one split with one card to each split Ace, and no surrender.

How Speed Blackjack works

1 Any order

No waiting for your turn

Turns do not go seat by seat as they do in traditional blackjack.

2 First decision

The dealer acts at once

The dealer acts immediately on the first decision a player makes.

3 Fastest first

Quick deciders are served first

Whoever decides fastest gets their next card first.

How Speed Blackjack works

Speed Blackjack, dealt at the Speed Blackjack C table, drops the usual turn order. In traditional blackjack the players act one seat at a time; here the dealer acts immediately on the first decision made, so whoever decides fastest gets their next card first.

The rules

The table seats seven, and the cards come from an eight deck shoe of barcoded cards. Blackjack pays 3:2, the dealer must stand on 17 and must draw to 16, and insurance pays 2:1. Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets sit beside each seat.
