    Six Card Bonus

    I have seen the term "Six Card Bonus" a few times but I've never seen any explanation as to what it means.

    For example, in Lance Humble's book, "The World's Greatest BJ Book", on page 182, it refers to this "Six Card Bonus" but it doesn't explain how it works or how much it's worth.

    Can anyone tell me if they've ever seen this bonus available in any North American casinos?

    If so, can you please tell me how it works and how much it pays?

    Thank you.

    On the navigation bar at the top, click BJ Resources, and on the sub-menu click Variations. You will find 123 variations. But, there are many more and the variations have variations. There are multiple different bonuses for Six-Card Charlie. They are worth very little. Five-Card Charlie is far better.

    Not to be confused with Spanish21, etc. bonuses;
    I have never encountered a "Six Card Bonus" in a BJ game.

    One of my local spots has a side payout if you get a 6,7, or 8 card 21. It's not a sidebet just a 365 day promo they've been running for 5+ years. Not sure if this what you are referring to.

    Six-card bonuses are still present in SP21 and SF21 games.

    Six card Charlie has resurfaced in some casinos on 6 to 5 games.
