LUCKY STIFF
BLACKJACK
Lucky Stiff is a Blackjack based game that offers an optional wager
betting that the player will receive a blackjack or a stiff hand on the
first two cards. A stiff hand is any hard total of 12 through 16 on the
player’s first two cards. After the initial deal, the Lucky Stiff wager wins
immediately if the player gets a blackjack or a stiff pair of 66, 77, or 88
regardless of the dealer’s hand. A player qualifies to win if they get any
unpaired stiff hand.
If the player’s hand beats the dealer’s hand with an unpaired stiff hand,
the player’s Lucky Stiff wager wins unless the dealer has a blackjack.
If the player’s hand loses to the dealer’s hand on regular blackjack,
the player’s Lucky Stiff wager loses. If the player’s hand pushes with
the dealer’s hand on regular blackjack, the player’s Lucky stiff wager
will push.
