8 Seat Live Blackjack from StakeLogic

StakeLogic have come up with an answer to seat scarcity on their live blackjack tables with the launch of an 8 seat live blackjack table.

Blackjack Classic 8 has identical ruleset and house edge as their classic 7 seat tables. The only difference is the addition of an eighth seat.

You can play 8-seat blackjack at:

• Leo Vegas >>> visit
• BetVictor >>> visit
• Unibet >>> visit

In their launch release StakeLogic proclaimed that the table was set to, ‘set to shake up the live casino landscape by launching the industry’s first 8-Seat Blackjack game… adding an extra chair to the table to maximise engagement and increase the fun ‘.

Not sure it’ll shake up the industry but it’s definitely the first 8 seat live blackjack table to be offered online. There’s a reason for this.

Blackjack seat scarcity, particularly on low limit tables is an issue at times. But other providers have taken a different approach to making sure players always have access to seats, simply adding more 7 seat blackjack tables in addition to one-to-many deal blackjack tables that are never full.

So what’s the 8-seat blackjack table like to play?

Well, like all of StakeLogic’s tables it’s beautifully presented and executed. We didn’t get to test the added engagement and fun that an eighth seated player brings as ironically the table was empty. But the dealer was very happy for the company and keen for engagement.
