Introduction
Mega Blackjack is a blackjack variant by AGS. It made its Nevada debut at the Monte Carlo on February 16, 2017.
Rules
Mega Blackjack follows standard blackjack rules, which I assume the reader is familiar with, with these details and exceptions:
- Six decks of cards are used.
- The dealer shall follow the American rule of peeking for blackjack.
- Dealer hits a soft 17.
- Double after a split is allowed.
- Player may re-split to four hands, including aces.
- Surrender is not allowed.
- Winning player blackjack shall pay at least 3 to 1 odds. Different pay tables for winning blackjacks are available from the distributor, as shown in table 1.
- If the player has a winning suited ace-king blackjack, then it shall pay 5 to 1.
- All other winning player blackjacks shall pay 3 to 1.
- As in conventional blackjack, a player blackjack shall be paid immediately, unless the dealer also has a blackjack, which shall result in a push.
- If the dealer busts with with four or more cards, then all remaining player bets shall push.
- Otherwise, if the player draws or doubles to 21, then the player's total wager shall be paid 3-2 odds. This includes after splitting.
- Otherwise, all player wins with 20 or less shall pay 1 to 1.
- Finally, the Buster Blackjack side bet is a recommended pairing with this game. Two known pay tables are shown below.
