AGS announced the acquisition of Aces Up Gaming’s Lucky Lucky blackjack side bet, which it believes will allow for “further growth of its industry-leading progressives.” 

According to the Las Vegas-based organization, Lucky Lucky is a “proven and popular side bet” in which the player’s cards are added to the dealer’s up-card to determine paytable results.

Players may place the Lucky Lucky stake in addition to the primary blackjack wager at the start of each hand. Each player is dealt two cards combined with the dealer’s up-card to form a three-card total; odds are paid if the capacity is nineteen or more excellent, with the ultimate payout being suited 7-7-7.

“With over 1,000 units in the United States, Lucky Lucky is a well-established and profitable side bet that amplifies the fundamental game of blackjack for a one-of-a-kind player experience,” said John Hemberger, AGS’s senior vice president of table products.

“Because Lucky Lucky is popular in both tables and online gaming forms, its appeal goes beyond the typical brick-and-mortar live table game environment, making it a natural progression to launch as a progressive.

“We feel that Lucky Lucky will further solidify our position as the industry’s premier source of blackjack progressive content.”

“When we launched our table games company more than seven years ago, our goal was to build the industry’s most dynamic portfolio of proprietary games, side bets, progressives, and table equipment, backed by an industry-leading sales network,” Hemberger stated.

“Since then, we’ve established a robust content library through organic development and strategic acquisitions; the addition of Lucky Lucky exemplifies our commitment to maintaining the most inventive and competitive offers in the table game sector.”
