Introduction
Progressive Blackjack Jackpot
Bonus Jackpot is a progressive 'red light' side bet I noticed on two games, blackjack and Super Three Card, at the Rampart casino on February 2, 2019. A reader submitted a picture of another pay table found elsewhere.
Rules
Bonus Jackpot is a side bet that can be tacked onto any game that uses at least three decks. I believe it was intended for six- and eight-deck games. I believe the bet amount can be $1 or $5. Wins in blackjack, as well as Super Three Card, are based on the player's initial two cards and the dealer's up card. Following are the two known pay tables based on $1 bets.
Pay Table 1
Event | Pays |
---|---|
Suited three of a kind (J-K) | Jackpot |
Suited three of a kind (all other) | $125 |
Straight flush | $25 |
Three of a kind (unsuited) | $20 |
Straight | $6 |
Flush | $2 |
Following is pay table 2 based on a $1 bet.
