Bonus blackjack is yet another variation but is one of the more simple variations. This game is not to complicated but has just
like every variation a few different rules that you need to know before you start.
Bonus blackjack is played with one or two stocks of 52 or 104 cards. The cards are shuffled every time a new game begins. This means that
the chance of being able to count cards has been taken down
to a minimum. This does not mean that you are sometimes very able to make an educated guess of what kind of card might be coming. If a table shows
12 cards with a value of ten, then you know that there are only a few left so you know not to expect a card with a value of ten.
When you place a bet you can also place a bet in the bonus ring. By placing a bet in the bonus ring you are betting on two cards
with the same suite or a blackjack consisting of a Jack and an Ace. This side bet is only for your first two cards (initial deal) and not
for any other cards you may draw during the game.
If you win the bonus you will get paid according to the pay table:
Jack and Ace of Spades: 50:1
Jack and Ace of any suit: 25:1
Any two cards with the same suit: 5:2
Just like all the different variations of the game, be careful, as these side bets are also not in your favor. If you crunch the numbers you will
soon see that the pay out on the different combinations do not at all match up with the probability of getting these combinations.
This does not mean that it cannot be fun and that it is not profitable, it just means that on the long term you will be making a loss. This kind
of side bet can of course make a big difference if you get blackjack of spades with a jack. This will pay you 50:1 and no doubt bring your
balance well into the plus. It is a fun thing to do but if you are looking to make some real money and you are trying to increase your balance
with serious play, do not play the bonus ring.
