Progressive Blackjack

...the publicity that surrounds the practice of card counting. Blackjack's popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill and decision making, , a skill with which players can turn the odds of the game in their favor by making betting decisions based on the values of the cards known to remain in the deck.

The object of blackjack is simple; beat the dealer's hand by obtaining cards that accumulate to 21 or less.
Now, Progressive Blackjack is played the same way as standard 6 decks Blackjack but now players will also be able to make a progressive jackpot side bet as they play.

In Progressive Blackjack, before you are dealt any cards you have the option of making 1$ progressive side bet that allows you getting a chance to win the progressive jackpot or one of the lower side bet prizes. Upon gambling , you and the dealer are dealt two cards to start. Cards are worth their face value with the exception of Kings, Queens, and Jacks which are each worth 10 and Aces which are worth either 1 or 11. All progressive win combinations are based on the player being dealt one, two, three or four Aces, with suited Aces resulting in bigger prizes. If the value of your hand is closer to 21 than that of the dealer, you win. If the value of the dealer's hand is higher than yours, you lose. If the hands are of equal value the deal is a push and your money is returned. If you have a total of 22 or higher (a busted hand), you lose regardless of whether the dealer also busts.

Players choosing to place the progressive side bet will get a chance to win the progressive jackpot or one of the lower side bet prizes when being dealt a hand that falls into one of the progressive win combinations. Only the maximum jackpot wins, paid on a hand of four suited aces, will be paid out of the progressive jackpot. All other (lower) side bet wins will be paid by the casino as a regular win.
As in all other Blackjack variations, this game too features multi-hand, multiplayer and private group playing modes.
