The Rules of Buffalo Blackjack

Introduction

Buffalo Blackjack is a standard blackjack game with two side bets.

Base Game Rules

Following are the rules of the overall game, without getting into the details of the side bets.

1. The game is based on standard blackjack.
2. Two side bets are added, the 21 + 3 and the Bust Bonus.

21+3

21+3 is a side bet that adds 3-card Poker to the base game of Blackjack. The player wins their 21+3 wager if their two cards, plus the dealer's up-card, form a 3-card Poker hand of a Straight or better.

Bust Bonus

Bust Bonus allows players to bet that the dealer’s hand will bust after the dealer’s up-card is dealt. The base game is Blackjack with an additional side bet that wins odds based on the dealer’s hand busting. After players have acted on their hand, but before the dealer reveals their hole card, players are given the choice to wager that the dealer’s hand will bust (exceed 21). Odds are paid according to the dealer’s up-card and greater odds will be paid if the dealer’s cards are suited.
