If you’ve played a lot of blackjack, chances are you are familiar with the widespread Lucky Ladies bonus bet. Lucky Ladies is a side bet available in most major casinos, placed in addition to the standard blackjack bet. It pays an added bonus based solely on your initial two cards. There are five possible winning outcomes of this side wager.
I'm not just cute, I can bring you good luck, too! Click on me to change my number of spots - the more I have, the luckier you will be! Today I am sharing a lucky lady game for ladies kitty party. Whatever is the theme of our kitty party, we often have a prize for lucky lady. Gone are the days when we used to take a lucky draw for the lucky lady. Now everyone prefer playing some interesting game to decide the lucky lady.
The Lucky Ladies side bet is a wager made on the first two cards dealt; that they will total 20 points, in any combination. In games which offer this wager, there will be a designated area for such a bet, adjacent to the regular blackjack bet (usually a small, separate circle).
A Lucky Ladies wager, like all side bets, has no association or influence on the main blackjack bet and is entirely based on our first two cards. All other rules which are relevant to the game being played are not affected by the Lucky Ladies wager. If we have placed the Lucky Ladies bet, we only receive a bonus payout if the sum of our first two cards are 20. If they do not total 21, we lose the side bet, but our main wager and the game continues.
To place a Lucky Ladies wager, we must first make a standard blackjack bet. If playing with others, it may be permissible to place a Lucky Ladies bet on another player’s hand, without needing to put forward your own standard blackjack bet. The Lucky Ladies wager needs to be at least the minimum amount as advertised on the table. Minimum and maximum wagers will always vary from table to table, so make sure you know what the appropriate amount is before playing. Once the bet is placed, if we draw two cards to the lucky number 20, the bonus payout we receive is determined by the specific cards that make up our total:
The Lucky Ladies wager is a side bet with a high house edge of 24.71%, and should be made for pure enjoyment value rather than an expectation of consistent winnings. Hitting the coveted Queen or Hearts pair while the dealer simultaneously draws a blackjack is as good a chance as finding a needle in a really, really big haystack (0.0015%), while drawing to 20 with any two cards is around an eight per cent chance. But as with all side wagers, they are entertaining when played every now and then, and hopefully at some point in time, you’ll get some lovely lady luck on your side.
