I see that Wizard of Odds has an analysis of Match the Dealer. Is anyone aware of an analysis of Match The Dealer Progressive, which is a slightly different ruleset? With the progressive side bets, I'm always interested in knowing how high the progressive needs to go before it becomes +EV.

CanyonSmugly,
Perhaps if you provide a few details like paytable and progressive amount we can provide the information you seek.

Sure thing, here are detailed rules courtesy of the state of Washington: Washington State Rules
And, courtesy of the state of Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania State Rules
(It would be too much to ask I suppose that these two sources agreed on the payouts. 😩)
It looks like this side bet is also available for Spanish 21, obviously with still different payouts. Spanish 21 Rules
