Game Description

Mega Blackjack is a blackjack variation where players win higher odds on Blackjacks and 21s. The players push when the dealer busts with 4 cards or more. There is an optional Buster Blackjack side bet where players win odds when the dealer busts with 4 cards or more. The game of Mega Blackjack is played with standard decks of 52 playing cards, no jokers.

Recommended Rules

Mega Blackjack follows the basic rules of Standard Blackjack (“21”) with the following features:

    All winning player 21s are paid 3 to 2, even after splits or doubles*
    Player Blackjacks are paid 3 to 1 instantly, unless the dealer also has a blackjack, in which case the hand pushes.
    If the dealer has an Ace as an up card and a player has a Blackjack they may take even money
    When the dealer busts with 4 cards or more, all remaining hands push
    All normal splits allowed

*When dealer has 21 or busts with four or more cards, players push on 21.
To Play

    Make a standard Blackjack wager and the optional Buster Blackjack wager.
    The dealer will deal Blackjack according to house procedures.
    If a player has a Blackjack they will be paid for it immediately at the odds in the paytable, unless the dealer’s up card is an Ace.
    If the dealer’s up card is an ace they will offer insurance and a player with a Blackjack may choose to take even money. If they do not take even money and the dealer has a Blackjack then the two hands will push.
    If a player hits to 21 they will be paid at the end of the hand only if they win the hand. This includes 21s after splits and doubles.
    If the dealer busts with 4 cards or more then all bets push.

Additional Buster Blackjack Rules

    If a player who made the side wager has a blackjack and the dealer does not have a blackjack, the dealer will pay the player’s blackjack wager, tucking the player’s two cards face up under the player’s Buster Blackjack wager to indicate that the side wager remains in action.
    If a player who made the side wager busts, the dealer will collect the player’s blackjack wager and tuck the player’s cards face up under the player’s Buster Blackjack wager to indicate that the side wager remains in action.
        NOTE: As long as there are Buster Blackjack bonus wagers remaining in action, the dealer must complete his hand so the outcome of the side wager can be determined.  This is done even if all the players have busted and/or received a blackjack.
    If the dealer’s completed hand does not exceed 21, all Buster Blackjack wagers lose.
    If the dealer’s completed hand exceeds 21, the dealer will pay all Buster Blackjack wagers based on the number of cards in the dealer’s hand (see paytable example for odds).
