Lucky Blackjack is a blackjack variant found at Playtech Internet casinos. There is a single hand only and the player bets on the final outcome. For example, a bet on a total of 19 pays 6 to 1.

Please see my brief page on Lucky Blackjack. I'm working on getting a screenshot from a friend in the UK.

As always, I welcome comments, questions, and especially corrections.

Make a choice of where to put the bet, then see what happens. That's about as exciting / boring as Baccarat.

Interesting that 18 is the best bet. That might influence people to play the Instant 18 side bet when offered on BlackJack games...


I didn't notice any typos or confusing statements.



(Side note: Instant 18 isn't listed on the BJ Appendix 8 Side Bets page.)

There is a separate page for Instant 18. However, for some reason, it doesn't show up in the Games list. I am working on fixing that.

This game looks a lot like Fortune Teller Blackjack that was at G2E in 2009.

It seems like it would play too fast for a shuffling machine to keep up. Or does it play multiple hands before shuffling?

If so, is this game vulnerable to counting?

Edit: I forgot that we're talking about Internet gaming.
