Speed Blackjack is a live casino game from On Air Entertainment. A live dealer blackjack game that you play in real time against the provider’s skilled, professional dealers in a glitzy live casino studio.
Blackjack is one of the most popular online casino table games, and On Air delivers this fast-paced version of the game with precision, with two separate side bets offering payout potential up to 100x the bet.

The objective of the game is to end the round with a higher card score than the dealer without exceeding 21 and going bust. A total score of exactly 21 on the two initial cards dealt is blackjack, the best hand in the game. Number cards retain their face value, and picture cards are worth 10. Aces can be either 1 or 11, depending on which is best for your hand.
Betting limits are always displayed on your screen for all table games. You can place bets from £1.00 on Bet Behind and side bets, and from £5.00 per hand for the main hand while seated at the table. Up to seven seats are available at the table.
When betting ends, the dealer deals two cards out to each position. One dealer card remains face down. At this point, any side bets are resolved and payouts awarded. Seated players then choose their play, starting from the dealer’s immediate left.
If your hand exceeds 21, you go bust and lose the round. If you stand, the dealer plays. The dealer must always hit on 16 or less and stand on 17. If you end the round with a higher hand value than the dealer’s, you win. If it ends in a tie, your bet is returned.

The game includes two optional side bets for added win potential: Twin Show and Three Up. You can place side bets only in combination with a main bet.
Side bets are independent of the main game outcome, so you can win even if you don’t win the main hand. Side bets are higher risk and offer higher payouts compared with main hand bets.
The Twin Shot side bet is a wager on the first two cards drawn. If they are of equal value and in the following combinations, you win a payout:
The Three Up side bet is based on your first two cards drawn and the dealer’s upcard. You will win the bet with any of the following poker-style combinations:
The Bet Behind option lets you join a full table, follow the actions of seated players, and place bets on their hands. You are placing Bet Behind bets on a win, lose, or push. Payouts for Bet Behind bets are the same as for main blackjack bets.
Winning streak icons next to a player’s nickname will help you choose the players to back. The number inside the winning streak icon (flame) indicates the number of consecutive wins. As soon as the player loses a game round, the winning streak icon disappears.
You cannot Bet Behind your own hand or on free table seats. The seated player makes all the decisions; you just follow the results. In the game settings, you can alter whether to include the seated player’s double down or insurance bets. If the seated player decides not to play the round, your Bet Behind wager is returned.
