SIDE BETS
SCORE GAMING Score Gaming has a library of side bets for
multiple casino games. The benefits of side bets for the casino operator, is the fact that side bets enhance the gaming experience for the guest and increase the table games hold percentage without changing the play of the main game. The attraction of side bets to the player, is the opportunity to win a much larger payout then the standard 1-1, 6-5 or 3-2 payouts on a Blackjack table. Side bet pay tables can start as low as 1-1, but quickly rise to 2-1, 5-1, 10-1 and with many side bets, can go to 30-1, 50-1, 150-1 and higher. These potential high payouts attract gamers that are bored with the standard game of Blackjack. There are side bets for other casino games and Score Gaming has created side bets for non- Blackjack games, but Blackjack side bets are the “craze” at this time. Side bets need to be simple for the dealer to
explain and the player to understand to be successful. There are side bets that win or lose based on the players first two cards and there are side bets that combine the players first two cards plus the dealers up card. Another popular side bet is for the player to make a bet that the dealer is going to “bust” their hand, with a total over 21. Although those are the most common Blackjack side bets, there are many other side bets that pay on different combinations of cards and totals.
Our most popular side bet is Raise the Roof, which is a dealer bust bet. The player makes their normal Blackjack bet and then the optional bust ante bet for any amount (per house limits). After the dealer delivers the player’s two cards and exposes the
dealer up card, the player has an additional optional bet. After seeing the dealer’s up card, if the player thinks the dealer will bust they can bet up to five times their original bust ante bet in the Raise the Roof betting area. If the dealer busts the player will be paid according to the

posted pay table on both their bust ante and their Raise the Roof bet. If they did not bet the Raise the Roof bet, they would only get 1-1 on their bust ante bet. There is a sliding pay scale based on the dealers “bust” card. Rocket Poker is another Blackjack side bet that is based on the player’s original two up cards. The player makes a Blackjack wager and an optional Rocket Poker wager for any amount (per house limits). After the dealer delivers the player’s first two up cards, they win or lose based on the posted pay table. If the player’s first two cards form any pair; except aces, they are paid 8-1. If the player’s first two cards are a pair of aces (Rockets), they are paid anywhere from 30-1 to 150-1. They win 30-1 for unsuited aces, 75-1 for suited aces and 150-1 for diamond aces. Bonus 3 is a Blackjack side bet that pays
based on the players first two up cards and the dealer’s up card. The dealing procedure is the same as mentioned above. The player will win or lose based on whether they have any poker hand starting with a pair or better. The higher the hand, the higher the payoff.
Pay Me Too is a unique side bet that pays a player on the number of Blackjacks dealt during a normal round of play. The player makes the optional side bet and after the dealer delivers the cards, if there are any natural Blackjacks dealt to any player and/or the dealer you win. It is paid on a sliding scale based on how many players are betting on that round and how many Blackjacks are dealt. Ride the Line is a craps/dice side bet that is
very simple to explain and understand for the dealer and player. The bet can only be made on the “come out” roll (before a point is established). The player can bet any amount (per house rules) and they place the bet behind their Pass Line bet, in the designated betting area. The player is paid based on the number of “passes” (number of winning rolls) the shooter makes. The pay table starts with only two pass line winners and gets progressively higher with each winning roll the shooter makes. It only loses when the shooter rolls a “7 out”.
