AGS has purchased the Lucky Lucky blackjack side bet from Aces Up Gaming.

This purchase is expected to enhance AGS’s portfolio, and provide numerous opportunities for further growth and expansion into the gaming industry.

Lucky Lucky is a side bet that triggers various paytable outcomes by totalling the player’s cards with the dealer’s up-card.

Prior to each hand, players are allowed to place the Lucky Lucky wager on top of the underlying blackjack wager. Each player then receives their first two cards, which are added to the dealer’s up-card to create a three-card total.

A total of 19 or more triggers the odds to be paid while the top award is a suited 7-7-7.

John Hemberger, SVP of Table Products, said: “With more than 1,000 units across the country, Lucky Lucky is an established and high-performing side bet that supercharges the base game of blackjack for a one-of-a-kind player experience.

"Popular in both e-Tables and online gaming formats, Lucky Lucky’s appeal extends beyond the traditional brick-and-mortar live table game environment, making it a natural next step to introduce with a progressive. We believe Lucky Lucky will further cement our position as the leading provider of blackjack progressive content in the industry.”

AGS is a supplier that aims to offer a blend of games experiences for every kind of player. The company’s main focus is the Class II Native American gaming market, while also creating Class III slot products.

AGS’ portfolio includes table products, real-money gaming platforms and content, social casino solutions for both players and operators and more.
