I stumbled across a promotion for blackjack. This promotion / added rule is for curtain days and is part of the main blackjack bet not a side bet. The promotion is an ace jack of spades pays 20 to 1. I noticed on the Wizard of Odds page that he evaluated a suited blackjack rule paying 2-1 as adding .57% to the players edge. That being said the rule he evaluated was for any suited blackjack and the promotion I found was for ace jack of spades only. That being said, even though the promotion I found has a lot higher payout, it would occur far less often. Can anyone tell me what this promotion would add to the players edge?

20:1 payout for player natural Ace of Spades / Jack of Spades?
May the cards fall in your favor.

Mental calculations, which may be misapplied. I post them in the hope someone corrects them if I'm off.
If you are playing at a full table, with other side bets, you could expect to hit one every four hours or so. and get paid an extra 18.5 units.
That is a little more than four units an hour, where you would normally be minus one unit an hour. I don't know the math, but in English, I think that's a huge edge.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Infinite deck. You will get spade suited blackjack one of every 1352 hands. If you get an extra 18.5 units each hand that is worth around 1.37% to the player.

In single deck you get the bonus once every 1326 hands. So worth a tad less than 1.4% to the player.

If the game has otherwise decent rules it is a player advantage game.
