Blackjack Bonus is a variation of blackjack. Online casino players who have not yet heard of this blackjack variant, may be a bit confused at first, thinking this article is about online casino blackjack bonuses. This is not the case, so read on to find out more about Blackjack Bonus.

Blackjack Bonus is a blackjack game that is played in a similar way to regular blackjack, however, various card combinations, when they show up in the first two cards dealt, can give players a great bonus.

Players do not have to take the Blackjack Bonus bets, however if players do not place this bet, they might as well be playing regular blackjack at another blackjack table. Players would place a bet on the Blackjack Bonus in the “jackpot” area of the table, and would place their regular bet on their hand as it is done in other blackjack games.

Even though the payouts can be quite high, the odds of receiving one of the two highest paying hands in Blackjack Bonus are very low. There is usually an upper betting limit for the bonus jackpot section, which is often set to around $25, but that depends on the online casino, and whether the game is for high rollers or not.

Even though the odds of getting the blackjack bonus hands is fairly low, there are other points in favor of the player. The game is played with two decks of cards, which makes card counting much easier than in a standard game using six to eight decks. The dealer hits on soft 17, which gives the player an advantage, because the dealer is likely to bust more often.

<u>Special Bonuses in Blackjack Bonus:</u>

Ace of Spades and Jack of Spades - 50 to 1 payout.
Any Ace and Jack that are in the same suite, but not in Spades - 25 to 1 payout.
Any two cards that are in the same suite - 5 to 2 payout.

Although the payout of 5 to 2 is much lower, it is far easier and somewhat likely that a player could be dealt two cards that are in the same suite. A payout of 5 to 2 on top of any other possible wins in the hand is an excellent Blackjack Bonus.

The first two of these hands naturally equal 21, and the player will obviously not be drawing any more cards, however, the hand that is dealt two cards of the same suite can draw more cards, as in regular blackjack. Even if the player ends up losing the blackjack hand, they will still receive the 5 to 2 payout for having the first two cards in the same suite.

Those who were dealt a blackjack, that also gives them the special bonus payout, will receive both the special Blackjack Bonus, and the regular payout for the hand that is being played.
