What is Perfect Pairs Blackjack?

In essence, Perfect Pairs is two games rolled into one.  The first bit of real money gaming activity is premised on hitting a pair in the initial two-card deal.  That is followed up by a round of blackjack, jest like your gran mummy used to play.

How to Play Perfect Pairs Blackjack at Red Stag Casino

Here is how the gameplay in Perfect Pairs Blackjack unfolds.  You ante up as you would in any online blackjack game.  At that point you have the option to place the Perfect Pairs side bet.  The value of the optional side bet can be lower, higher or exactly the same as your initial wager.

At Red Casino, the available chip denominations are $2, $5, $25 and $100.  You can bet one or more online casino chips of the same value.  Or you can mix and match the chips, right up to the $200 hand limit.

Once all the bets are down, you are dealt two face-up cards.  The dealer gets one card face up card and one face down.  If your cards are one of the following pairs, you get paid out at the respective odds before the blackjack part of the game commences:

• Mixed pair – 5:1
• Coloured pair – 10:1
• Perfect pair – 30:1

A mixed pair is of a different suit and colour.  A coloured pair is of the same colour but a different suit.  A perfect pair is of the same colour and suit.

Whether you win or lose the side bet, the main game begins and continues until its conclusion.  What that of course means is you hit, stand, double down or split in an effort to get 21, or as close to 21, without going bust.

Blackjack pays 3:2 and you get even money on a winning hand.  The round pushes when you and the dealer have the same hand total.  As a result, you get your original bet back but not the side bet.  In the WGS Technology developed Perfect Pairs Blackjack available at Red Casino, the dealer stands on all 17s.
