Press Release 28th August 2024
Stakelogic Live, the in-demand developer of live-casino content, is set to shake up the live casino landscape by launching the industry’s first 8-seat Blackjack game.
This exciting game allows up to eight players to take on the dealer at once. An extra chair is added to the table to maximise engagement and increase the fun.
The game will be broadcast from Stakelogic Live’s cutting-edge studios, where high-definition streaming technology brings the action to life right before your eyes. 8-Seat Blackjack sticks to the conventional blackjack rules, using eight decks of cards, with 2 to 3 cut from the back.
In 8 Seat Blackjack, Stakelogic Live ups the ante, with the game offering multiple side-bets. This includes Golden Paris, G3, and 3 & Buzz-T, each providing the potential for bigger payouts.
Operators will benefit from this industry-first game, which promises to heighten player engagement, allowing more participants to join in on the thrilling gameplay. It can be seamlessly integrated onto mobile and desktop platforms, allowing operators to offer the most immersive and engaging live blackjack experience on the market.
The additional player does not impact the game’s RTP, which sits at the standard 99.514% for American Blackjack games.
Stephan van den Oetelaar, CEO at Stakelogic, said:
“At Stakelogic Live, we take great pride in mixing things up in the live casino industry and trying something new. With our new 8-Seat Blackjack game, more players than ever can now enjoy our immersive live Blackjack experience firsthand. This expansion also enables operators to accommodate more players without relying on bet-behind features or players having to wait for open seats.
Given the overwhelming popularity of our live blackjack games, increasing the capacity to host additional players was an obvious strategic decision. We are super excited see to see how both operators and players respond. “

I have yet to play on one of the new tables, but I wonder about the logic of this from a player’s perspective.
The extra seat on the table will make the game run even slower, and shoe changes will occur more frequently, slowing the game down even more.
Seven Seat Blackjack, at the best of times, is a slow game, which is why Unlimited Blackjack and Speed Blackjack games are options at most live dealer studios.
I’ll reserve judgment until I’ve played. It’s an odd innovation in my book, but fair play to Stakelogic for trying something different.
