Hi
Life time fan of the wizardofodds, life time casino employee, and a new member here today – not sure if someone can help me with a question. A casino I sometimes play at recently offered a unique promotion where a jackpot total was won if both you and the dealer got a blackjack on the same hand. However the dealer’s cards had to be suited. Can anyone calculate the odds for that? I would not know where to start!
(The promo ran for 2 weeks and the jackpot was not won)
Thanks!

I got (32*32)/416C2 * (31*127)/414C2 = 1/1830.5

Some people need to reimagine their thinking.

I'm surprised it wasn't hit. I'll use 1 in 1839 for my calcs. One player has a 50% chance of hitting this in 1275 hands. Surely many more hands than that were played in 2 weeks. Even at one table a few players could play this many in a day.

Does the players BJ have to be the same suit as Dealer BJ? I have seen that type of promo before.
The odds would be much greater for that.

You can't know everything, but you can know anything.

I'm the one that fat fingered. Had 415 instead of 414. Fixed earlier post.
And if they both had to be:
Suited: (1008640/7308369120) or 1 in about 7245.765704
Same suited: (222208/7308369120) or 1 in about 32889.76599
Suited exact(both hands exactly the same): (50176/7308369120) or 1 in about 145654.6779
