Progressive Blackjack
With so many Blackjack variations being introduced these days, staying profitable when playing Blackjack and winning large cash prizes are getting even easier. All you need is the right approach – in terms of strategy and playing system – and you are all set. In this part, we are going to take a closer look at progressive Blackjack and how you can benefit from playing this variation of Blackjack.
The progressive Blackjack is played similarly to ordinary Blackjack. The only difference is that you can place side bets and win the progressive jackpot for even more profit. What you need to win the jackpot is to get 4 colored Aces. Other payouts are also available, including a staggering 2,500 to 1 if you get 3 suited Aces and 1,500 to 1 if you get 4 uncolored aces.
You need to get the Aces in a row to qualify for the cash prize. If you get an Ace of Spade in a round, followed by three consecutive Aces of Clubs in the following three rounds, you get to take home the progressive jackpot. You can win no less than £50,000 if you hit the progressive jackpot. Even getting two random Aces in a row will get you a cool 25 to 1 payout.
Since the Blackjack itself is played similarly to ordinary Blackjack, you can still use the Blackjack matrix to guide your plays. Simply treat the side bet as, well, a side bet and keep your focus on the primary game, and you will be able to stay profitable while winning cash prizes on the side as well.
Blackjack Variations
Since first made popular, the game of Blackjack has evolved into many variations. There are several common table rules used by different casinos – online and offline casinos alike. The Las Vegas Strip rule is probably the most popular one, followed by Vegas Downtown rule and Atlantic City rule. For online Blackjack, these rules are adopted and slightly modified to offer better payout ratio and lower house advantage to customers; online casinos do tend to offer better payout ratio due to lower overhead costs than brick and mortar casinos.
Aside from differences in table rules, you will also find variations of Blackjack in term of how the game is played. Take multi-hand Blackjack, for example, now getting more and more attention at online casinos. You can play multiple hands at one time, use up to 5 bet positions, and be even more profitable. There is even a Blackjack matrix designed to help you play multi-hand Blackjack, so you can definitely reduce the house advantage even further.
The newly introduced Triple Seven Blackjack is another interesting Blackjack variation you should try. It is very similar to multi-hand Blackjack, although only one hand is allowed to be played at one time and the additional of $1 obligatory Triple Seven side bet that needs to be placed each round. Should you get 7s in your cards, you will get a payout on your side bet. 3 diamond 7’s means you win the progressive jackpot, while 3 unsuited 7’s give you 1,000 to 1 payout.
