Royal Match
“Treated Like a King and Queen”

The Royal Treatment

The game Royal Match is very popular around places like Vegas and Reno.  It is very simple to learn and understand.  It’s a side bet added to the game Blackjack.  Although the payouts are chosen by the casino and do vary, the game is based around matching suits of your first two cards.

To play Royal Match all you have to do is find a Blackjack table that offers the side bet.  All other Blackjack rules are the same and do not change.  You make a side bet before any hand you wish to play using the Royal Match version.  If your two cards are of the same suit, you win 5 to 2, or 3 to 1 depending on the casino (we have heard of a 4 to 1 payout on the first two cards being suited, but have not seen it).  If your first two cards were a matching king and queen of the same suit, you get paid 25 to 1 or 10 to 1, again, depending on the casino. 

Easy to learn and a relatively small house hold makes Royal Match a side bet Blackjack game to play if you are looking for some added action and fun.
