What is Progressive Blackjack

In Progressive Blackjack, before you are dealt any cards you have the option of making a $1 side bet that allows you to participate in additional payouts. Upon wagering, you and the dealer (the computer) are dealt two cards to start. The objective of Progressive Blackjack is to accumulate cards that add up closer to 21 than that of the dealer’s cards, without going over 21. Cards are worth their face value with the exception of Kings, Queens, and Jacks which are each worth 10 and Aces which are worth either 1 or 11. If the value of your hand is closer to 21 than that of the dealer, you win. If the value of the dealer's hand is higher than yours you lose. If the hands are of equal value the deal is a push and your money is returned. If you have a total of 22 or higher (a busted hand), you lose regardless of whether the dealer also busts.
