Lucky Lucky

Lucky Lucky is an exciting side bet option in blackjack that allows players to win big payouts based on the combination of their cards and the dealer's upcard. With simple rules and the potential for high rewards, Lucky Lucky blackjack has become a popular addition to blackjack tables at many casinos. It has become one of the most popular side bets at Cache Creek Casino.

What is Lucky Lucky in Blackjack?

Lucky Lucky is a straightforward side bet in blackjack that focuses on the total value of a player's first two cards combined with the dealer's upcard. Unlike traditional blackjack, which aims to beat the dealer's hand, Lucky Lucky bets are won based on specific card combinations that can form totals like 19, 20, or 21 — or special hands such as suited 7-7-7. Its simplicity makes it a comfortable choice for players of all levels.
Lucky Lucky is independent of the main blackjack game, meaning that you can win the side bet even if you lose your main hand. Payouts increase for rarer and more specific combinations, with suited 7-7-7 often offering the highest rewards. The potential for these high rewards adds an extra layer of excitement to the game, making it a thrilling experience for players.


Why Lucky Lucky is Appealing for Blackjack Players

Lucky Lucky adds an extra layer of excitement to blackjack. Players love it because it is simple to play and offers the potential for big payouts. The side bet doesn't require additional strategy or expertise. Players can focus on their main blackjack game while enjoying the added thrill of Lucky Lucky. Plus, the winnings are independent. You can still win the Lucky Lucky bet even if you lose your main blackjack hand. The side bet gives players a fun way to engage with the game on another level, keeping the game exciting and interactive.

How to Play Lucky Lucky Blackjack

Playing Lucky Lucky blackjack is simple. Before you receive your cards for your new hand, you place your Lucky Lucky side bet in the designated betting area on the table. Once all bets are made, the dealer will deal two cards to each player and one up card for themselves.
The dealer will then evaluate all the combinations. The Lucky Lucky bet pays out based on the total value of the player's two cards and the dealer's upcard. If your cards form a winning combination, the dealer pays out according to the Lucky Lucky payout table.

House Edge Analysis

The house edge for Lucky Lucky blackjack depends on the specific pay table used by the casino. On average, Lucky Lucky's house edge ranges from 2 percent to 6 percent. The relatively low house edge compared to other side bets makes Lucky Lucky an attractive option for casual players.

Payout Structures for Lucky Lucky

Lucky Lucky payouts are based on the rarity of specific card combinations. Common examples include:
  • Suited 7-7-7: Typically pays 200:1 or more, offering the highest reward.
  • Suited 6-7-8: Often pays 100:1.
  • Unsuited 7-7-7 or 6-7-8: Lower payouts, around 30:1.
  • Total of 21: Pays 3:1 to 5:1, depending on the cards and their suits.
  • Totals of 19 or 20: Pays 2:1 or 1:1, as these are more common
Casinos may use different pay tables for Lucky Lucky, which can affect the overall appeal of the bet. The standard pay table pays as described, but a reduced pay table pays like so:
  • Suited 7-7-7: 100:1
  • Suited 6-7-8: 50:1
  • Unsuited 6-7-8 or 7-7-7: 25:1
  • Total of 21: 3:1
  • Total of 20: 2:1
  • Total of 19: 1:1
The reduced pay table offers smaller payouts but may come with a lower minimum side bet. Always check the pay table at your table to understand the potential risks and rewards.

Lucky Lucky vs. Other Blackjack Side Bets

Lucky Lucky blackjack distinguishes itself from other side bets by offering a simple premise, exciting payouts, and a relatively favorable house edge. Here's how it stacks up against other popular side bets:


Lucky Lucky vs. 21+3

The 21+3 side bet combines elements of blackjack and poker, paying out for hands like straights, flushes, and three-of-a-kind.  Meanwhile, Lucky Lucky focuses solely on the card total and specific combinations like suited 7-7-7 or 6-7-8. Lucky Lucky payouts tend to be higher for specific hands, while 21+3 offers more frequent small payouts.


Lucky Lucky vs. Perfect Pairs

The Perfect Pairs side bet pays out for pairs in your hand, with higher rewards for suited pairs. Meanwhile, Lucky Lucky requires combining your two cards with the dealer's up card for a wider range of payout opportunities. Perfect Pairs has a higher house edge and more restrictive outcomes than Lucky Lucky's broader range of winning combinations.
