Introduction
The Pair 'Em Up bet is a side wager in the Side Bet Blackjack game created by Wager2Go software, and it is determined by the player's initial two cards. To win, those two cards must form a pair, with payouts influenced by their ranks and whether they are of the same suit.
Rules
- The result of this side wager hinges on the initial two cards dealt to the player.
- The pay table is shown below.
Here's the payout structure for Pair 'Em Up, where wins are indicated on a 'to one' basis. A useful tip is that an unsuited pair pays according to the rank of the cards, other than aces which payout 20. For suited pairs, simply double those payouts.
