 Perfect Pairs™ is a casino table game based on a standard Blackjack game, played with six 52-card decks in which players play against the dealer. As an added feature, players have the opportunity to win bonus money based on their hand by placing a Perfect Pairs™ Bet.
Each position is marked with a Betting Box location where a player can make an optional Perfect Pairs™ Bet. The objective of the Perfect Pairs Bet is to achieve a pair from the first two cards dealt.
If a player chooses to make a Perfect Pairs Bet, this must be done at the time of making the initial wager and before the dealer deals any cards. A winning Perfect Pairs hand is not affected by the dealer’s hand.
Perfect Pairs Explained:
In Perfect Pairs™, you are dealt two cards face up and the dealer is dealt two cards, one face down and one face up. The goal of Perfect Pairs is to get closer to 21 points than the dealer without going over 21 points. A Perfect Pairs side bet is a bet that your first two cards will be the same, but not necessarily the same suit. The Perfect Pairs side bet is not affected by the dealer's hand.
A "Blackjack" is a hand that totals 21 points with two cards. Blackjack automatically wins, unless both you and the dealer receive Blackjack, then you push. A total of 21 points with three or more cards is not considered Blackjack.
Point Values:
Cards 2 through 10 = face value
Face Cards = 10 points
Aces = 1 point or 11 points, whichever makes a better hand
Example: 6 + Ace = 7 points or 17 points
