Euro Palace Casino Instant PlayBlazing 7's™ is a blackjack side bet that pays based on the number of sevens in the player's first three cards. Pays start with just one seven in the first two cards and go up to a progressive jackpot for three suited sevens or three sevens in diamonds, depending on the version.
Note: Blazing 7's is trademarked by Bally Gaming.I have heard of two versions of this side bet, as follows:
To make matters more complicated, not only are there two versions but two pay tables as well, as follow.
Pay Table 1
Pay Table 2
Between the two versions and two pay tables, there are four possible combinations. For my analysis of all four combinations, six decks of cards is assumed. All wins are on a 'for one' basis, meaning the player does not get his original bet back on a win. I have heard of bet amounts of $1 and $5. For statistics where the bet amount matters, I will present them for both a $1 and $5 bet.
