Regardless of what casino game the jackpot pool is connected to, the basic rules are the same. The casino player places an additional bet to be able to try for the special prize pool, and the jackpot is triggered when he or she gets a chosen winning combination of symbols or cards.
In many casinos you will find a game of progressive blackjack. Detailed rules vary from casino to casino, but the general concept remains the same. At the beginning of the game, before the blackjack dealer deals the cards, the player placed his bet and apart from that has an option to place an additional jackpot bet. This is done by placing the chips on a separate field on the blackjack table.
Depending on the casino and the blackjack game you chose, different cards can trigger a jackpot payout. In many casinos the jackpot card is an ace. Unlike in case of other casino jackpots, in progressive jackpot you can win even if you do not hit the whole winning blackjack combination. If the player gets an ace in his first cards, he or she can count on a smaller casino payout. Two aces will bring you an even larger prize, especially if they are suited. This is possible as in many casinos blackjack dealers are using more than one deck of cards. The more aces, or other chosen cards, you get in your blackjack hand, the higher your casino payout, and the ultimate progressive blackjack jackpot pool will boost your account if you get a maximum number of suited cards, e.g. four suited aces of hit a blackjack with three suited 7s.
As the prize pool is progressive, the more blackjack players chooose to play the game, the higher the prize. Because of that it is not uncommon to hit a blackjack jackpot worth 100.000$ or more after betting as little as 1$. This is especially true in online casinos, with hundreds of blackjack players every day boost the jackpot pools sky high. Sounds exciting? Then look for a progressive blackjack in your casino, and maybe that will be your life-changing day?
