Triple 7's Blackjack is based on standard Blackjack, and has a side bet that makes you eligible for additional payouts, such as the Progressive Jackpot.
Blackjack is a game of skill and chance between you and the Dealer. It is played with between one and six standard decks of cards. This version of Blackjack, Triple 7's Blackjack is played with five standard decks of 52 playing cards that are shuffled before each game.
The aim is to beat the Dealer's hand by either getting a better hand, without exceeding 21, or by the Dealer's hand going bust. To win the Progressive Jackpot you must receive three consecutive Diamond Sevens from the first card of a hand. In this version of Triple 7's Blackjack, you can only bet one hand at a time.
A side bet is a compulsory bet fixed at one credit that is placed by default when you enter the game. The side bet makes you eligible for additional payouts, one of which is the Progressive Jackpot. The side bet amount is added to your bet amount and displayed in the bet box.
