Premium provider of gambling tech solutions, Playtech, has unleashed another live title to boost the level of player engagement. The game is called Majority Rules Speed Blackjack and it is smooth addition to the provider's live portfolio.

About Features

Majority Rules Speed Blackjack is different from the classic version of the game, with a completely new level of interaction. It features two modes, Majority Rules, and Best Strategy, where a number of players can take part and control the activities.

In the first move, all players can select to Hit, Stand, Double or Split, with a 50% or greater vote activating an automatic action. In games with fewer users, Best Strategy mode is triggered, and player hands are resolved according to the determined Blackjack best strategy flow. However, in both modes, players should decide whether to accept a vote or the best possible strategy decision on Split and Double. By selecting the latter option, players will have to leave additional funds.

From the Company

Commenting on the release of the new live game, 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 observed:

“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.”

The latest version of live blackjack is produced in the cooperation with GVC and will be accessible network-wide as of July.
