Perfect Pairs

Perfect Pairs is a casino table game based on a standard Blackjack game , played with 6 52-card decks in which players play against the dealer.  As an added feature players have the opportunity to win bonus money based on their hand by placing a Bet.

In this game, players wager to receive a two-card hand, face down. The cards are dealt two in rotation from the dealer's left to right.  The dealer's hand has one card face down and one card face up. The objective of the game is to achieve a hand value that is closer to 21 than that of the dealer's without going over 21, or a hand that is a bonus winner.

In addition, each position is marked with a Betting Box location where a player can make an optional Perfect Pairs Bet.  The objective of the Perfect Pairs Bet is to achieve a pair from the first two cards dealt. 

If a player chooses to make a Perfect Pairs Bet, he or she must do so at the time of making the initial wager  and before the dealer deals any cards. A winning Perfect Pairs hand is not affected by the dealer's hand.

In this game, you are dealt two cards face up and the dealer is dealt two cards, one face down and one face up. The goal of Perfect Pairs is to get closer to 21 points than the dealer without going over 21 points.  A Perfect Pairs side bet is a bet that your first two cards will be the same, but not necessarily the same suit. 

The Perfect Pairs side bet is not affected by the dealer's hand.

A "Blackjack" is a hand that totals 21 points with two cards. Blackjack automatically wins, unless both you and the dealer receive Blackjack , then you push . A total of 21 points with three or more cards is not considered Blackjack.

Point Values

Cards 2 through 10 = face value

Face Cards = 10 points

Aces = 1 point or 11 points, whichever makes a better hand

Example: 6 + Ace = 7 points or 17 points

Doubling - You can only Double once in Blackjack.

Splitting - You can split the first two cards dealt if they are of equal point value. When you split, you must place an additional bet that is equal to the ante . You will now have two hands. You can continue to hit for each hand, unless the split was made for a pair of Aces, in which case you can only hit once for each hand.
