Should you play it?

The felt carries the usual payouts, 3:2 on a blackjack and 2:1 on insurance. The difference is pace: whoever decides first gets the next card, so a round runs about 30% quicker than traditional blackjack.

Play it if

  • You decide quickly and dislike waiting for other seats
  • You want more hands per hour 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.
