The Block Bonus is determined by the player’s initial two cards alongside the dealer’s visible card, utilizing distinct terminology like:

• Ultimate Block = Both player cards rank higher than the dealer's card and are identical in both rank and suit.
• Pair Block = Both player cards rank higher than the dealer's card, are equal in rank, and one also matches the dealer's suit.
• Flush Block = At least one of the player’s cards ranks higher than the dealer's and shares the same suit as the dealer’s card.
• Normal Block = One card in the player’s hand ranks higher than the dealer's and matches the dealer's card in suit.

The Block Bonus outcomes and their probabilities, along with returns, are illustrated in a table, with a house edge of 4.96% marked in the lower right cell.

Aces = 1 point.
