For example, players have the opportunity to bet that either their first two cards or the dealer’s first two cards will form a pair.
Here are some of the main side bet options available at Playtech live blackjack tables:
Side Bets:
- Player Pair side bet: First two Player cards must form either a Perfect Pair, Coloured Pair, or a Red/Black Pair to win.
- Dealer Pair side bet: First two Dealer cards must form either a Perfect Pair, Coloured Pair, or a Red/Black Pair to win.
- Perfect Pairs side bet: First two Player/Dealer cards must form a pair of the same suit to win.
- Coloured Pair side bet: First two Player/Dealer cards must form a pair of the same colour but different suit to win.
- Red/Black Pair side bet: First two Player/Dealer cards must form a pair, but with different colours + suits to win.
- Player Pair and Dealer Pair side bets can be placed simultaneously.
- Side bets can only be placed if a main bet has been placed.
21+3 Side Bets:
21+3 means that you can place a side bet that the first two player cards plus the dealer up card add up to a three card poker hand as follows:
- Suited three of a kind = three cards of the same suit and value.
- Straight Flush = three cards in sequence + same suit.
- Three of a kind = All three have the same value/ranking.
- Straight – three cards in sequence but not same suit.
- Flush – All three cards are same suit.
