Hello everyone!
Today I want to showcase a new game that I like a lot called PokerJack. The same team who made 3 Shot Poker, 5 Card Pai Gow, and BBQ Baccarat have a new game that sorta combines 3-Card Poker and Blackjack.
Essentially, you and the dealer get three cards. You can bet that your three cards form a better blackjack hand and/or poker hand than the dealer. The dealer needs a 10-high to qualify on the poker side and always qualifies on the blackjack side. There is also a side bet based on your three cards.
Personally I think that this is better than the other games that this team has made so far, and I hope to play it in real life one day. Until that day, you can play it here on my website which will also show you the strategy according to my calculations.
Anyways, let me know what you think about this game or my website.
To give some constructive feedback, I think there should some additional side bet based on all six cards, but also it's easy to say that when you aren't the one who has to get each side bet approved by various state governments :D

Under some configurations, the dealer needs an 8-high, 9-high, or Jack-high to qualify.
I have added these possibilities, alongside a second configuration for the side bet, on my website.
You might wonder what the strategy is... it says on my site but I'll lay it out here:
You should always raise on blackjack if you don't have a busted hand (22+ points), and you should raise on poker if you have a Queen or better. If the dealer qualifying hand is a Nine-high, you can raise on Jack-Ten or better, and if the dealer qualifying hand is an Eight-high, you can raise on a Jack-Nine-Four or better.

Does A / FACE + other = BJ?
A's is 1 or 11 for BJ?
You must take all 3 cards for BJ?
is the dealer under the same rules?
No 6 card bet?

10+10+1 = 21, but this isn't more valuable than 9+7+5

Yes
Quote: JoeTheDragonis the dealer under the same rules?
Essentially, though the dealer needs a minimum hand to qualify on the poker hand.
Quote: JoeTheDragonNo 6 card bet?
Unfortunately not
