If you love playing online poker and if Blackjack is also one of your favourite card games you may be interested in Playtech’s very latest Side Bet Feature which is called 21+3™ Live Casino Blackjack. This awesome new Side Bet option manages to combine two of the world’s most popular card games and it can pay up to 100 times your initial Side Bet.

“The 21+3 side bet is a great addition to the classic live casino Blackjack game and puts the excitement of poker into every hand,” said the Head of Live Casino and Playtech, Kevin Kilminster. He then went on to say, “It will appeal both to those players who are familiar with either card game, as well as new customers who have never played Blackjack before, and we’re delighted to offer even more chances to win.”

If you click on the Side Bet betting options (a button which is usually located towards the bottom right hand side of the Live Blackjack game window) the 21+3 Side Bet option and the Perfect Pairs betting options will both become available. If you don’t want to see these Side Bet options, simply click on this button again and they will disappear from view.

With the Perfect Pair Side Bet you can get odds of 6:1 for a mixed pair, 12:1 for a Coloured Pair and 25:1 for a Perfect Pair. The aim of this new 21+3 Side Bet option obtain a winning poker hand with the two first cards that you are deal and also the dealer’s face up card. If these three cards create one of the qualifying poker hands you will receive a payout with enhanced odds, based on the strength of that winning poker hand. This will make a lot more sense when you actually see this feature in action for the first time.

The types of winning poker hands that you could win with include a straight, a flush, three-of-a-kind, a straight flush or suited three-of-a-kind. It would be a good idea to have some kind of poker knowledge, but it isn’t necessary.
