Speed Blackjack 1 – Ruby is a classic blackjack game with Vegas rules, but offers players a much faster playing environment and favours quick decisions thanks to these key features:

• Auto-Decisions: This feature allows you to pre-set your betting decisions. It also kicks in when a player does not react in time, automatically standing for them on 12 and hitting on 11 and under. Here’s how it works:

• Auto-Stand stands for you if the value of the cards in your hand is equal to or bigger than the value you choose.
• Auto-Hit hits for you if your hand is lower than or equal to your chosen value. Strategic tip: Hit on 10 or 12-16.
• Double Offer and Split Offer gives you the option to choose what values you would consider for a double down or split. The game then prompts you to make the decision when your hand is one of those values. Strategic tip: Use this feature if you want to double down or split – otherwise you don’t have the choice.
• Auto-insurance plays Insurance whenever the dealer’s hand is an ace.

• Deal Now Button: Use this feature to tell the dealer you’re ready to receive cards.
• Dealer preference: Players who act the fastest after receiving their opening two cards are dealt to first in subsequent rounds.
• Statistics: Real time player statistics give you insights into your opponents’ betting habits.
• Live chat: This feature allows you to chat to the professional dealer and other players.

• Side bets: These are available to players who are comfortable with higher-risk wagers for more reward, with wins up to 2,000x their original bet:

• Perfect Pairs is a side bet that the first two cards the player is dealt make a pair, with three different types of pairs paying out at different odds. Strategic tip: Sticking to a Mixed Pair bet can be a good way of minimizing losses.
• 21 + 3 allows you to bet on whether your first two cards and the dealer's face-up card combine to make one of five three-card blackjack hands. Strategic tip: The odds of getting Suited Trips or Suited 3 of a Kind in 21+3 Blackjack are 1:4999.
• Bet Behind is a side bet that allows you to wager on the outcome of another player's hand when the table is full. Strategic tip: Identify players who are actually good and not just lucky.

Speed Blackjack 1 – Ruby is the brainchild of live casino industry leader Pragmatic Play, and was released to critical acclaim in 2022. The game is aimed at players who enjoy playing at a traditional seven-seater table rather than a one-to-many table but are also looking for a much faster game than standard live blackjack ordinarily allows.

The game is played at a seven-seater table with eight decks of cards in Speed Blackjack 1 – Ruby. The round starts when the dealer slides two cards to each participant, face-down. Players need to get their hand as close as possible to 21 without going bust. Players can hit, stand, double down or split. The dealer must draw until 16 and stand on all 17s.

The key difference between Speed Blackjack Ruby – 1 and slower live blackjack variations is that the dealer gives preference to players who act first after the initial two cards have been dealt. To help speed up the decision-making process, the Auto-Decisions feature allows you to choose what hand values to automatically hit, stand, double down, split or take insurance on. A Deal Now button allows you to prompt the dealer to give you your cards. Perfect Pairs and 21+3 side bets are also available, and you can use the Bet Behind option to wager on other user’s hands. Rounding off the user experience are professional dealers who are much faster than the norm. Speed Blackjack 1 – Ruby is streamed in full HD quality from a live blackjack studio.

Canadian players looking for a more varied live blackjack experience should consider Eclipse Blackjack, a game that offers seamless classic blackjack play at a one-to-many live table and comes with a wide range of side-bets – 21+3, Perfect Pairs, Buster Blackjack, Lucky Lucky and Royal Jack – that gives you the chance to win up to 2,000x your original bet.
