Blackjack-Block™ is an optional side bet for blackjack
The concept of
Blackjack-Block™ 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 is very easy to explain and understand |
|
Blackjack-Block is not susceptible to card counting |
|
Blackjack-Block does not expose the casino operator to volatile high payout odds or jackpots that are offered on most other side bets |
Blackjack-Block 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.
