Under the name "Perfect Pairs" we find another variant of a standard blackjack game. This game uses six decks with 52 cards each, with a dealer in the role of your principal rival. Perfect Pairs has the same rules as in Vegas strip game but with one outstanding difference - a side bet of the same name as in the headline. This added feature allows you to battle for some bonus money, spirit and joy.

If you are a lucky guy - the round will proceed and at the end of it (whether you beat the dealer or not) you will triumph. The house shall provide you with your side bet multiplied by 5, 10 or 30 (it depends on exact type of your happy pair).
