Introduction
The 6-Card Bonus is a side bet found in lots of popular games by Scientific Games (formerly known as Bally Gaming and Shuffle Master before that). This side bet seems to be mostly found at casinos owned by Caesars Entertainment only. There have been multiple pay tables used since at least 2009. This page addressed those that I know about.
Available Games
- Crazy 4 Poker — Based on player's five cards and one dummy card.
- Let it Ride — Based on the three community cards, player's two hole cards, and a 6th dummy card.
- Texas Hold 'Em Bonus — Based on the five community cards and a sixth dummy card.
- Three Card Poker — Based on the dealer's three cards and the player's three cards.
- Ultimate Texas Hold 'Em — Based on the player's two hole cards and four dummy cards.
I'm not sure if it is worthy to include on the list, but there is a blackjack side bet called the Millionaire Maker. It is based on the dealer's cards with a top pay for a six-card straight flush.
