Blackjack Block Bonus™ is an optional side bet for blackjack
The concept of
Blackjack Block Bonus™ is simple
A
Blackjack Block
bet wins; if 1 of the first two cards dealt to a blackjack hand is the
same suit as the dealer's first card and higher in rank. If not the
Blackjack Block
bet
lose.
A
Blackjack Block
bet is made prior to the initial deal and must be
supported by a regular blackjack bet on the same betting box.
All
Blackjack Block
wagers
are decided and acted on by the dealer at the completion of the initial deal.
Blackjack Block Types
There are four different types of
Blackjack Block
with different payout odds as follows:
|
Blackjack Block Type |

Payout |
|
Normal Block |
A Blackjack Block consisting of one card higher and in the same suit as the dealer's first card. |

|
If at least 1 of the player cards matches the dealer’s card in both rank and suit, and other card does not match the dealer’s suit or is less in rank than the dealer’s rank. Then the player shall have a tie, which is a push. |

Blackjack Block Bonus™ is very easy to explain and understand |
|
Blackjack Block Bonus™ is not susceptible to card counting |
|
Blackjack Block Bonus™ does not expose the casino operator to volatile high payout odds or jackpots that are offered on most other side bets |
Blackjack Block Bonus™ is not limited to a flat $1 wager and can bet up to the maximum posted wager for Blackjack Block on each box that the player has placed a blackjack wager. This allows the potential for a much higher game turnover than a side bet that is limited to a $1 flat bet.
