21+3 Blackjack – The Blackjack Guide

This is a European style Blackjack game with a Three Card Poker side bet

21+3 Blackjack is found at casinos running on Wager Works software.

The main game has the same rules as Wager Works’ European Blackjack:

6 decks of standard playing cards are used, shuffled for each hand of play.
Dealer stands on all 17’s.
Resplit each split hand once.
No special restriction on split Aces. You may treat split Aces just like any other split card.
Double down is possible on any two cards.
You may also double down on the first two cards of any split or resplit hands.
Blackjack only possible on first two cards on each hand (and not on split or resplit cards).
Player may draw a maximum of eight cards for any hand. An eight-card hand beats all Dealer outcomes except for Blackjack.

The house edge is about 0.28%

The side bet pays based on your first two cards combined with the Dealer’s up card.

If these three cards give 3-of-a-kind, a flush or a straight you win. The payment increases depending on the hand’s rank.
