The new speed tables opened this morning (11am Latvian time) in the Riga studio.

If you're thinking it's probably just another set of nice looking generic tables (more shame on rival studio tables), albeit with a shorter decision time etc. you'd be wrong!
Battle royale gaming has arrived at Evolution >>>>

Interesting concept, and look forward to playing it.
Being an impatient player I like the idea of first in best served, or 'no need to wait for decision'.
Even with this deal order change, will still have to wait for slow coaches to play out their hand before dealer plays theirs. This will just happen last.
of course yes. But some rounds do fly by.Quote:

The fastest player to decide doesn't keep receiving cards (with the dealer waiting on each decision if to HIT again), the dealer moves onto dealing cards to the remaining players who choose to HIT/SPLIT in order of speed. Then back to he original fastest player and so on as each player requests extra cards.
ie. compared with regular tables if you had a slow player on seat 1/2 etc, they delayed the game for all the players before the dealer could move onto the other players. With the Speed tables all the other quicker players may have received ALL their cards while the time was running down for the slower player/s .....so not much waiting for slow coaches/dealer inactivity (if any of that waffle makes sense and not just repeating the obvious :rolleyes:)

Note how the number of players in front/ahead of you to receive cards is displayed for your information/frustration :D
It's impressive how the dealers stay focused enough to deliver the next card to the correct seat toing and froing around the table, and still chat with players etc.

Very impressive.Quote:

I remember having a go dealing in Evolution's 'academy' (where training happens) where they replicate the dealing environment to train new dealers.
There's a monitor in front of the table, by the camera with state of play updates...hit/stand etc decisions, and player chat. It's not easy. Just the dealing is challenging. Then maintaining multiple conversations on top of that is a skill that is definitely under appreciated by players.
And that was a standard deal, not having to also adjust for deal order based on player speed.
Absolutely!!Quote:

Besides the hassle from "those" players we've all encountered who think they are so clever.
The big negative that I see is Evolution opening itself up to more claims from the cheating conspiracy brigade.
Along the lines of the next card is scanned and only then the dealer guided as to which seat to deliver the card to ie. generate more frequent player busts etc.
Presumably that’s a reason for the message saying wait for X player/s to receive a card to help negate such accusations.
Enjoyed a nice little win streak getting the hang of one of the Speed Blackjack tables.
Bet rounds are definitely a lot faster than all the regular deal tables. Everyone being prompted to decide immediately after the deal, rather than in turn helps. But players at the table also seemed to be faster decision makers...makes sense that fast players would choose these tables. Not so many excruciating dilly-dally moments.
Dealers seem to be pretty quick too (although Edgars needed his morning coffee).
One guy I played last night seemed like he was on speed!

wow. That's a lot of speed blackjack tables to choose fromQuote:
(....34!)
Somewhat of a throttling effect bottleneck when you survey all the speed tables in the casino lobby and a big majority are currently ‘paused’ while the dealer shuffles the cards. But that is the socially distant times we are living in.
Not enough generic Speed Blackjack tables for Leo Vegas it seems. They've added 3 of their own inside their Chambre Séparée exclusive area.
