Regulars at the top-ranked online casino South Africa are at a distinct advantage. They know there is only one game that can bust open the coffers. It is blackjack, boet, and when you throw a side bet into the action, it is supercharged. That is Suit ‘Em Up for you… a game that adds oomph to any gaming occasion!

Whether it is sizzle or spice, blackjack is nice. In fact, you can bank on a theoretical payback percentage of around 99.54%. That, Mzansi, is like getting a casino bonus or birthday pressie but without the ribbon and wrapping.

That stays with the gift giver, which, in this case, is Springbok Online Casino South Africa!

Break Even or Gain a Profit at the Online Casino South Africa

To put it another way… long-term gaming sessions of 21 deliver more than 99.5 cents back on every R1. Play the game like it should be played – and by that we mean strategically – and there is a good chance of breaking even. When the cards fall your way, you really can end up with a big fat profit!

That is the story with the standard blackjack game. Your aim is simple – to hit a blackjack or accumulate more points than the dealer without going bust. What could be easier?

Blackjack Payouts

Now to the standard blackjack payouts. Winnings are the critical factor in all real money games. Play blackjack at the best online casino in South Africa, and potential prizes range from 3 to 2 for a natural blackjack to even money for a winning hand.

The optional insurance side bet pays out at odds of 2 to 1.

Why are we going on about standard blackjack when it is Suit Em Up Blackjack that is in the spotlight? Well, Suit Em Up is a heart-pumping variation of the conventional blackjack game. It consists of two parts fuelled by two bets… one bet is mandatory and the other is optional, and that is the Suit Em Up side bet.

How to Play Suit Em Up Blackjack at the Best Online Casino South Africa

When you play Suit Em Up Blackjack online, you can bet on two possible outcomes. The first is a wager on your hand beating that of the dealer’s hand. The second is a bet that the first two cards you are dealt are of the same suit.

You can win the side bet, the blackjack bet or both. The side bet is decided immediately after the deal. Whether you win or lose, you continue playing the blackjack component of the game as you normally would.

In other words, in Suit Em Up Blackjack, you can double down, split, hit, or stand as per usual. If you are lucky and all your bets pay off, you can rake in plenty of loot. The question is… how much loot?

Payouts for the Suit Em Up Side Bet

The amount of money you can win depends on two factors – whether the Suit Em Up side bet is active and the ranks of the suited cards. At Springbok Online Casino South Africa, the side bet payouts are as follows:

  • Suited aces – 60 to 1
  • Suited blackjack – 10 to 1
  • Suited pair – 5 to 1
  • Suited 11 – 3 to 1
  • Any other suited cards – 2 to 1

As you can see, winnings for the side bet are pretty impressive. When they are combined with the standard blackjack odds, there is serious money to be made. That is especially true if you hit a suited blackjack (pays out 10 to 1 and 3 to 2) or a winning pair of suited aces (pays out 60 to 1 and 1 to 1)!

How Much You Can Win in ZAR

The easiest way to appreciate the kind of cash that is up for grabs is by way of example. If you bet the lowest available chip value – R2 – on both the side bet and the blackjack bet, here is what you can win for suited aces and a suited blackjack, respectively:

Suited aces

  • 60 to 1 side bet pays out R122 (R120 + R2 bet)
  • 1 to 1 blackjack bet pays out R4 (R2 + R2 bet)
  • Total winnings – R122
  • Total payout – R126

Suited blackjack

  • 10 to 1 side bet pays out R22 (R20 + R2 bet)
  • 3 to 2 blackjack bet pays out R5 (R3 + R2 bet)
  • Total winnings – R23
  • Total payout – R 27

Get the Suit Em Up ‘Double’ and Make a Mint

Even the lower payouts for the side bet are not too shabby. They can add a substantial amount to your betting balance at our online casino South Africa. Hit a suited pair, for example, and you’ll win R10 on a R2 bet. Suited 11 delivers R6, and any suited cards provide R4 in clear profit!

That is without taking a winning blackjack bet into account. Claim the proverbial double, and you can add an extra R2 or R3 to the bottom line. That said, what are the chances of getting cards with matching suits in the initial two-card deal?

Probability of Hitting Suited Cards

The answer to that question depends on how many packs of cards are in play. Table games by SpinLogic Gaming typically have six decks in the virtual shoe. Decks are shuffled after each round.

That being the case, here is a breakdown of the possible combinations for each of the Suit Em Up side bet winning hands:

  • Suited aces – 60
  • Suited blackjack – 576
  • Suited pair – 720
  • Suited 11 – 576
  • Any other suited cards – 10080

By that data set alone, it is evident you have a reasonable probability of hitting any two suited cards. Hence the 2 to 1 odds. Although being dealt suited aces is not beyond the realms of possibility, it is not going to happen all that frequently.

When it does, the cash will flow!
