Bonus Blackjack

So-called “Bonus” is a kind of traditional blackjack game, playing it you can bet only on the outcome of your first two cards. You play this variant of the popular gamble with two decks and this fact certainly increases your chances to bet on the right combination of cards. But there is one disadvantage at the game, in comparison with traditional blackjack, the payouts in "Bonus" version are lower.

The combination consisting of Ace and Jack of Spades is one of the most attractive hands in the "Bonus" blackjack. According to the calculation this hand can appear every 52 rounds, in other words the payout must be 52:1, but in reality it doesn’t confirm, because the casino raises its edge and manipulates the payouts for its benefit.

We present to you the values of hands from the highest to the lowest:
- Ace and Jack of Spades: 50 to 1; the same combination for the other suit: 25 to 1.
- The pairs of hands of the same suit, which sum is equal to 21: 5 to 2.
- All the other 21 hands: 3 to 2.

The "Bonus" game has the same basic rules as the usual blackjack has, it means you have the opportunity to double, hit after it, split up to four cards and use other methods. When the dealer stands on Soft 17 and one of the cards which have been initials is put the face down. There is no winner in a push, because you have no opportunity to Surrender. Moreover you also can’t re-split aces and in a case you split, you can’t win at blackjack. After the split you can double and hit.
