Does anybody know of a version of Blackjack with a progressive jackpot that does not require a side bet to win it?

Cheers,

That would be an Oxy Moron.

Sam's Town used to have one about 15-20 years ago on video Blackjack that paid off on a player 3 7's.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

There's one I've seen that paid even money for naturals. Suited naturals makes the progressive eligible. A higher bet was required to be eligible for the progressive, though. This was a good thing because the meter would get quite high.

So did stations.

I have seen a few of the new multi hand E blackjack with various progs including must hits.

Sands in PA has one called Blazing 7s. If player gets dealt two 7 of diamonds and dealers up card is 7 of diamonds you win a progressive jackpot that’s usually in the 300k range when it hits

It requires a $5 side bet. Not sure what you mean by a progressive that requires no bet. That makes no sense

Best I’ve done on the Blazing 7s bet is a pair of 7s dealt to me and the dealer had a 7 showing. All different suits. Paid $1000.

Yeah probably couldn't work at a live table but maybe on a slot or online if it used a set of rules that paid 97% rather than your usual 99ish% and then added 2% of all bets to a progressive.

I can't remember the specific places, but I have seen them in casinos throughout the USA. I was on a mission doing other things and didn't have much time to investigate. I remember thinking there was definitely some potential. Speaking of being on a mission ask Mission I thought the Meadows Casino might have had them at one time.

They had Blazing 7’s at one time, but I think it was as a side bet.

They still do and it is a side bet

Rivers also has blazing 7s but instead of using dealers card they use your next card on hit or split. Also a side bet for $5
