Speed Blackjack is an Evolution live dealer variant named for shorter rounds, which means less time to decide and more hands in the same session. This is the studio's name as of 13 November 2026; the decision time and rules are not yet recorded here. Faster rounds raise the number of hands per hour, not the edge on each hand.

## What the studio should publish

The facts that define this table are the decision time per hand and the number of rounds in a given period. Both sit on the studio's rules page or in the table's rules panel.

We have not saved either with a version and a date. So this page gives no seconds and no rounds per hour.

**Pace facts to confirm · source: studio rules page · checked 13 November 2026**

| Item | Where to read it | Our status |
|---|---|---|
| Decision time per hand | Studio rules page, table countdown | We could not confirm this |
| Rounds per hour | Studio rules page | We could not confirm this |
| Rule differences from a standard table | Studio rules page | We could not confirm this |

**Seat note:** speed is a property of the table; the edge is a property of the rules.

## What more hands means in pounds

Expected loss per hour equals hands per hour times stake times house edge. Doubling the hands doubles the expected loss at the same stake.

Illustration only: at a £5 stake and an edge of 1%, 100 hands cost £5.00 in expectation and 200 hands cost £10.00. The 1% is a round figure for the arithmetic, not a published value for this table.

Use the [house edge calculator](https://seatcheck.uk/house-edge-calculator/) with the studio's own figure once it is recorded.

## Pace rules and what we know about them

The Gambling Commission's technical standards set a minimum time between rounds for some casino games. Whether that rule reaches live tables is not settled in our sources.

We follow it on the [pace-of-play rules page](https://seatcheck.uk/pace-of-play-rules/) and do not claim either answer here. For timeouts at the table, see [decision time and timeouts](https://seatcheck.uk/decision-time-and-timeouts/).

**Seat note:** we do not say a rule applies until the source says so.

## Staying in control at speed

A fast table leaves less time to think. Set a deposit limit and a reality check before you start: [set a deposit limit before the first hand](https://seatcheck.uk/set-deposit-limit-before-you-play/). The tools are described in [safety tools at the table](https://seatcheck.uk/safety-tools-at-the-table/).

More tables are on [the live blackjack tables hub](https://seatcheck.uk/live-blackjack-tables/). Studio background is on [the Evolution page](https://seatcheck.uk/evolution-live-blackjack/).

## FAQ

**How fast is a round at Speed Blackjack?**

We could not confirm a time, so we have not published one. The studio's rules page should state the decision time and the table panel shows the countdown.

**Does a faster table change the house edge?**

Pace changes the number of hands you play in an hour, not the edge on each hand. The cost per hour is the edge times the stake times the number of hands.

**Do pace-of-play rules apply to live tables?**

Whether RTS 14G reaches live blackjack is an open question that we have put to a lawyer. Our pace-of-play page explains where the answer stands.

**What tools help me control the pace?**

Deposit limits, time-outs and reality checks at the operator. They are listed on the safety tools page.
