Royal Match 21 is an optional bonus bet for Blackjack that considers the first two cards the player receives. If the cards are the same suit, or a Royal Match (a King and Queen in suit), the player wins. To begin each round, players make their standard Blackjack wagers and, if they like, the Royal Match wager. The dealer then follows house procedures for Blackjack. Once the players have two cards, the dealer settles Royal Match wagers. If players have two suited cards, they win according to the pay table. If their first two cards are not suited, they lose their Royal Match wager. All bonus payouts apply to the first two cards only.
