Evolution Speed Blackjack takes 21 to a whole new level of speed...

Evolution Speed Blackjack is now available at a select number of online casinos. With clever tweaks to the way cards are dealt, this is now the quickest game of live blackjack on the internet...

Evolution Gaming has rolled out its latest live game: Speed Blackjack. Now available in soft launch at select casinos, this blackjack game boasts much quicker game rounds. But the software provider doesn't compromise on player comfort to achieve these results.

In fact, the solution to a quicker round of live blackjack is pure genius. In this live Speed Blackjack review - we will show you why Evolution's new game might just be revolutionary for live blackjack.

What is Speed Blackjack?

In a traditional game of real dealer blackjack, each player has a certain amount of time to make a decision on the hand they are dealt. And this can drag out betting sessions, particularly if the table is full.

With each decision taking anywhere up to 15 seconds, this can result in plenty of frustration. Especially if you have already made a quick decision based on perfect blackjack strategy.

But in this blackjack game, cards are dealt in an innovative way. The fastest players will have their cards dealt first. That means there is virtually no waiting time.

If you are dealt a 10 card and want to double up straight away - and you are the fastest player on the table, then you will receive your card first. The next fastest player will then receive their card.

Speed Blackjack Rules

Of course, the rapid pace of this Evolution blackjack game creates certain questions about other game rules. For example - how does splitting work? Again, the developers have a clever solution to the problem. Here's what happens:

You receive a pair of cards you want to split - the dealer will split your hand and deal the first card to each.
The dealer will then deal the remaining player cards
They will then return to your split hands and complete both hands

To add to this, there are some auto play options baked in to tackle AFK players or those struggling to make a decision. If you can't decide within the bet round time - then one of two things can happen.

If your hand is 12 or over - then your hand will stand, regardless of what the dealer has
If your hard contains 11 or less, then you will hit until you achieve a hand over the value of 12
