Super 4 Blackjack Progressive is a progressive jackpot side bet for the casino table game blackjack. Super 4 was developed by In Bet Gaming. They provide information about the bet on their Super 4 web page. They also provide information about which casinos feature the game on their WHERE OUR GAMES ARE LOCATED web page.
Michael Shackleford, creator of the The Wizard of Odds web site, explains how the side bet is played and analyzes the payout probabilities of several pay tables on the site's Super 4 page. The site is also a respected reference for gambling in general, with detailed information for hundreds of games including blackjack which is the host game for the Super 4 side bet. While game developers and casinos only market the excitement of gaming to the public, The Wizard of Odds site shines a light on the mathematics of gaming, informing those interested about the actual odds of winning.
This application shines an even brighter light on the single-level version of the Super 4 side bet, providing more detail and an interactive analysis of the game. You can change the pay table (including envy bonuses and wager) and shoe composition, then one "click" will give you an analysis based on those changes. For example, one might explore the affect that particular "burn cards" have on the jackpot meter value for a break-even expected value (EV) on the site bet wager. Another possibility is to explore which meter values represent a good bet for a given ace count value, or true count of your favorite balanced card counting method.
I have been working on this application off and on for over a year. I'm happy to now have something to share with the public. Please let me know of any errors you find or suggestions you have by sending an email to Super4@adbuco.com.
