Mega Blackjack is a blackjack variant that has special pay tables for the Buster Blackjack bet, as shown below. Note that for pay table 3 the dealer must bust with four or more cards for the side bet to win. Buster Blackjack Version 3 Version 2 of Buster Blackjack has a pay table that pays for any busted dealer hand of three or more cards. In this post, I discussed card counting the Buster Blackjack (BBJ) side bet in the six-deck case. The player wins the BBJ side bet if the dealer busts. The payout is based on the number of cards in the dealer’s busted hand, with a top payout for an 8+ card dealer busted hand. There are at least eight different pay tables offered with BBJ. Buster Blackjack is an RNG based game designed and run by Playtech, one of the industry’s most respected and prolific game developers. It is your standard game of blackjack with a side bet bolted on, which pays out different amounts when the dealer goes bust depending on how many cards it took to get them there. Buster Blackjack is an optional side bet that allows players to win odds when the dealer busts. The odds-based payouts are determined by the number of cards in the dealer’s busted hand. The higher amount of cards in the dealer’s busted hand, the higher the payout for the Buster bet.

Please click on the link and let me know what you think. As always, I welcome all questions, comments, and especially corrections.
The question for the poll is would you play Buster Blackjack, assuming you were playing blackkjack in the first place?
With a high enough count, could the buster bet become lucrative?

Thanks. To be honest, I'm starting to run low on ideas.

That's actually quite reasonable. Not a bad SB at all.

I'm depressed - the house edge is fairly high so surely it should be rated as in the 'best avoided' category.
Take some happy pills and make some buster bets. The future is a bright one!
A $5 main with a $1 Buster bet that is going to pay you $2 when the dealer busts...not so exciting for me, but AGS is placing it aggressively these days. It will be interesting to see how sticky it is outside of its So Cal original market.

I am very confused by this site:https://apheat.net/2013/04/25/card-counting-the-buster-blackjack-side-bet-6-decks/

The House edge is quoted to be different than what the Wizard just calculated for what appears to be the same assumptions on BJ rules. In this site's quoted simulation of 100M hands on a six-deck game with a card count of the A,2,3 cards, I don't understand if the dealer is assumed to play out his <17 hands when the player goes bust.Wizard Of Odds Buster Blackjack
When googling for it, I turned up this page in South Dakota:

I don't remember, but I think the pays table I saw was the H3 paytable.
a) Idea on house edge?
b) Idea of it's exploitable? I was thinking maybe it would be better in a negative count situation?
