Block Pro Blackjack is a blackjack side bet based on the player's first two cards and the dealer's up card. It can be found in some casinos in South Africa on 5-, 6- and 8-deck games. Following is an explanation of the winning hands. Please note that all winning hands must be three cards of the same suit.
Game literature by TCS John Huxley kindly explains that the jackpot reseed is $2,000 and the contribution rate can be 65% or 70%. The minimum bet to qualify for the progressive prizes is $1. Fixed wins are deducted from the jackpot meter. Contrary to what the literature says, I believe that the pays are on a "for one" basis.
The following return tables are for 5, 6, and 8 decks and contribution rates of 65% and 70%. Progressive wins shown are the average award.
