    Speed BJ Handout

    Uploaded by

    Speed blackjack is a variation of classic blackjack where the key difference is that all players must make their hitting, standing, doubling down, or splitting decisions simultaneously once the initial cards are dealt. This speeds up the game compared to classic blackjack. Side bets and occupying multiple seats are allowed. The game prioritizes avoiding delays, so the dealer will proceed to the next player once any player makes a decision rather than waiting for all players, and may not verbally announce all stand decisions to keep the game moving quickly.

    About the Game


    Speed BLACKJACK is a variation of Classic Blackjack game.
    The rules and strategy of the game are the same as in classic blackjack, But the main
    difference is the dealing order when it is time for the player to make their decision.
    Initial two cards are dealt as usual, in the regular order, left to right. When the
    dealing of the first two cards is complete, players who have joined the table are
    offered the chance to hit, stand, double down or split at the same time. The one
    who makes their decision first gets their next card first. Such a pattern is applied to
    all the players.
    In Speed blackjack, side bets and bet behind options are available, Combinations
    and payouts are the same as in Classic Blackjack.
    In addition, players can occupy multiple seats on the table and they are also
    allowed to make pre-decisions as well.
    Differences between Blackjack and Speed BJ

    Betting time is 12 seconds, Decision making time is 11 seconds (vs


    Classic BJ -16 sec)
    When the dealing of the first two cards is complete, players who
    have joined the table are offered the chance to hit, stand, double
    down or split at the same time. The one who makes their decision
    first gets their next card first. Such a pattern is applied to all the
    players. All players make decisions at the same time as soon as all
    initial cards are dealt.
    The card is dealt to the first player who has requested a card
    throughout the game.
    After splitting, the player receives a card on each hand and the
    next card is dealt to a player who has requested a card.
    Overall, should avoid any game delay.
    Game Leading

    One of the requirements of Speed Blackjack is to have a fast game


    with quick and short comments. All players make their decisions
    at the same time as soon as all initial cards are dealt.
    The GP indicates the playing Hand only once - before dealing the
    additional card. (Before Hit, DD, Split)
    Offering DD or Split is not mandatory and there is no requirement
    to indicate it with fingers in case GP does decide to offer it.
    GP covers barcodes only if the player requests a 5th card.
    Performance
    In Speed blackjack, side bets and bet behind options are available,
    Combinations and payouts are the same as in Classic Blackjack.
    In addition, players can occupy multiple seats on the table. They are
    allowed to make pre-decisions as well.
    As soon as initial cards are dealt, Game Presenter should announce:
    "Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to make your decisions."
    "Decision time is open for all players."
    Game Presenter should announce Side Bet winners as soon as initial
    cards are dealt:
    "Congratulations on Side Bet winnings to ... "
    During the game, Game Presenter can encourage players to make
    decisions at any time whenever they are ready. As soon as decisions are
    made, Game Presenter announces e.g.:
    "Hit for John on 15 ... that's 19, Splitting Adam's pair of 8s ... 19 and 18,
    Amy and George keeping the results .. and that's a Double down on
    Carl's 11... 19 after double down"
    STAND should be commented only if there is time between decisions or
    before revealing dealer's cards:
    "Everyone else keeping the results", "STAND for rest of the player's" or
    Game Presenter just reveals dealer's cards.
    In the end of the game Game Presenter congratulates all players,
    especially complimenting BJs, successful Double Downs, and Splits.
    Game Specific Exceptions

    In case if there is only one player making decision, Game


    Presenter can point to the player or show with hand gesture, but
    it is not obligatory.
    In case if Game Presenter did not comment all STAND decisions
    (to avoid game delay) it is not a performance mistake.
    Game Presenter should cover barcodes on seat 2-7 only when
    player requests 5th card.

    Main idea is to avoid game delay.
