2 Aces Blackjack No Deposit
Introduction
Lucky Aces is a blackjack side bet I noticed on an electronic blackjack game on October 13, 2016 at the Mirage. It based based on the number of aces between the player's and dealer's first two cards.Rules
- Eight decks of cards are used.
- The Lucky Aces pays based on the four cards comprising the player's and dealer's initial two cards. The pay table is shown below. All wins are on a 'to one' basis, meaning the original bet is returned on a win.
