How to play Progressive Blackjack

Click on chips to select a value and click on the bet area to place a chip of that value.

Every left-click increases your bet amount, every right-click decreases it. Click the Deal button.

If the dealer shows an Ace, you are offered insurance. Click the Insurance button to insure against the dealer having Blackjack. Use the Hit, Stand, Double and Split buttons as required.

Please note that Insurance, Double and Split require additional bets. If your balance does not have enough money to cover these expenses, the buttons will be disabled.

If you want to play another round, press New Game. Then place a bet as described above and click the Deal button, or click Rebet to place the same bet as in the previous round.

Progressive Jackpot Side Bet

In this game you have the option of making an additional bet to try and win a jackpot. Click on the coin slit above the bet area to place the side bet. The blinking light above the slit will turn green. The cost of the side bet is $1 (or equivalent in your currency), out of which a certain percentage goes to the progressive jackpot pool. If you get a winning card combination as described in the Progressive paytable, you get an additional payout. The highest progressive payout is the progressive jackpot and is won upon receiving four consecutive Aces of the same suit and starting from the first card in the hand. Note that all progressive wins require that the card combinations (one to four Aces) are consecutive and starting from the first card in the hand. These wins are awarded at the end of the game round, and if you've split your hand, they are calculated separately for each of the new hands.

Jackpot

One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).

After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.

Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.

The Jackpot for this game works like this:

Seed:: 50000x your jackpot bet size.
Contribution rate:: 3%
Win condition:: Four consecutive aces of the same suit, starting from the 1st card in the hand.
Win requirements:: Place the jackpot bet.
