Top-tier provider of live casino and gambling tech company, Playtech, has added another blackjack version to its portfolio. Going forward, players will have an opportunity to enjoy Majority Rules Speed Blackjack with new options.

About the Release

Majority Rules Speed Blackjack features two modes - Majority Rules and Best Strategy – and players are responsible for making the right decisions within the gameplay.

First of all, there is a Majority Rules mode, where players have the possibility to vote on Hit, Stand, Double or Split actions. The option which gets 50% or greater vote will activate the automatic action. Going on, Best Strategy mode is played with fewer users and hands are automatically resolved in line with the pre-defined Blackjack strategy. In both modes, players must make a decision whether to accept a vote or the top strategy decision on Split and Double.

Majority Rules Speed Blackjack is developed in collaboration with GVC and players can expect it worldwide in July.

What Was Stated

Commenting on the new release, CEO at Playtech Live Casino, Edo Haitin said:

“Innovation and experience-led gameplay are at the core of our product strategy, and Majority Rules Speed Blackjack delivers on both counts. The success of our community Live Slots concept demonstrates player demand for interactive & fun games – the experience you would enjoy when playing alongside others in a land-based casino. We’re confident the combination of engaging classic Blackjack gameplay and the new collaborative, community play will be a major hit with players and will of course create the proper Speed variant for Blackjack.”

Head of Live Casino at GVC, Matt Charlesworth noted:

“Everyone at GVC was delighted to work closely with Playtech on Majority Rules Speed Blackjack, through all stages of concept, design, and development – and we’re excited to offer this first of its type game to our players across the GVC brands. Majority Rules Speed Blackjack captures a real community feel with the unique “Ask the Audience” voting approach to the in-game decision-making. The game is fully scalable, offering something very different for players, without deviating from classic European Blackjack with popular sidebets.”
