Progressive side bets are optional wagers in casino games, particularly in blackjack and poker, that allow players to win larger payouts based on specific conditions or results. These bets accumulate over time, with a portion of each wager contributing to a progressively increasing jackpot. The jackpot can be won by achieving certain rare hands or combinations, making these bets appealing for players seeking substantial rewards.

Progressive side bets are indeed an exciting addition to traditional casino games like blackjack. They can add an extra layer of thrill and the potential for big wins to the game.
In blackjack, a common progressive side bet is the "Perfect Pairs" bet, where players wager on the possibility of their first two cards being a pair. Payouts can vary depending on whether the pair is a perfect match (e.g., two Queens of Hearts) or a mixed pair (e.g., a 10 of Spades and a 10 of Diamonds).
Another popular progressive side bet in blackjack is the "21+3" bet. In this wager, players combine their two initial cards with the dealer's upcard to form a poker hand. Winning combinations can include a straight, flush, or three of a kind, each offering different payouts.
These side bets can make the game more exciting and potentially rewarding for players who are willing to take on some additional risk. However, it's essential for players to remember that these bets typically come with a higher house edge compared to the main game, so it's important to wager responsibly and within your budget.
