Royal match 21 is a variation of blackjack played in a lot of online casinos in which players may bet on a royal match bonus. In Royal match 21, the play is nearly the same as traditional blackjack games – as player’s wager their hands based on the table stakes, and play the hand through just as if they would a normal hand of blackjack. However, in royal match 21, players are rewarded for having a royal match.

To bet on the royal match, a player must wager a dollar in the royal match bonus betting area. This royal match bonus pays out in the event certain cards occur as the royal match 21 player’s first two cards.

If a player is dealt two suited cards, he is paid out 2.5 to 1 on his royal match bet. Should the player’s initial cards fail to match suit, the royal match bet is lost. In addition to the any two suited cards, a player receiving a king and a queen of the same suit is rewarded at a rate of twenty-five to one on the royal match bonus.

The biggest royal match online casino bonus payday in royal match 21 occurs when both the dealer and the player obtain a royal match. When the dealer and player both receive a king and a queen of the same suit, the player is paid out 1000 to 1 on the royal match bonus.

While the royal match payday seems great, when one crunches the numbers, the royal match jackpot bonus – known as the crown bonus – is rather small when compared to the odds of actually occurring. The chance of both dealer and player both having a suited king and queen at the same time is actually one in twelve-fifty. Clearly the payout for the crown bonus is not nearly as rewarding as the chances of the crown bonus occurring.

Worth noting, a player receiving two suited cards pays out nearly the correct odds. While receiving two cards of the same suit is the most likely of the bonus scenarios (next to losing), the expectation is still slightly negative. Moreover, the more decks a casino plays with in royal match 21, the less of an edge the house has over the player. If playing Royal Match 21 with one deck at a real casino like Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, the casino’s edge is nearly eight percent. However, when playing with eight decks, the house’s edge is cut in more than half.
