Three different types of pairs earn a payout in Blackjack Perfect Pairs
What is Blackjack Perfect Pairs?
Blackjack Perfect Pairs is a side bet that the first two cards the player is dealt make a pair, with three different types of pair paying out at different odds.
A pair is considered to be two cards of the same numerical value for cards between two and 10 and the same face value for jacks, queens, kings and aces.
There are three different types of pairs:
Mixed pair = same number/face card value, different suit and colour
Coloured pair = same number/face card value, same colour, different suit
Perfect pair = same number/face card value, same colour, same suit
Players must decide whether they want to take part in the Perfect Pairs side bet before any cards are dealt. The side bet will then be settled before the main game of blackjack is played out according to the house rules of the land-based or online casino where you’re playing.
How to play Blackjack Perfect Pairs
Player places a Perfect Pairs side bet alongside their main game bet
Two cards are dealt to the player and the dealer.
The Perfect Pairs side bet is settled
The main game of blackjack continues to its conclusion
Once the Perfect Pairs side bet aspect of Blackjack Perfect Pairs is settled the main game of blackjack plays out according to the specified rules of the casino where you are playing.
These can differ from operator to operator so it’s worth players taking time to familiarise themselves with these before they begin playing.
Blackjack Perfect Pairs Odds
The below are the Blackjack Perfect Pairs odds paid at William Hill Casino. Odds paid out for the side bets are fairly uniform across different operators, but are always worth double checking before you begin.
What are the real odds of getting a perfect pair?
Taking a game using eight decks of cards for an example, there are seven cards out of the 415 in the dealer’s shoe that can make the player a perfect pair.
This equates to just over a one-in-59 chance of the card you need coming up. When compared to the 30/1 payout on offer it’s clear why this is more of a fun bet than the kind of side bet that’s often entertained by more serious, probability-minded players.
