What Are Suited Trips in Blackjack?

When considering side bets, one that you may encounter is suited trips. This is part of the 21+3 side bet, an addition that is based on the principles of poker.

The 21+3 uses your two cards, plus the face up card in the dealer's hand, and there is a range of different outcomes, and each one carries another potential prize.

Along with flush, straight flush, straight and three of a kind, there are the most difficult of them all: the suited trips.

The three cards must all be exactly the same card to win a suited trips side bet. Not just the same value, or the same suit, but the same value AND suit. For example, three 10 of Clubs would win a suited trips bet. The difficulty of winning a suited trips bet depends on the number of decks of cards being used.

The exact prize money may vary from one casino game to another, but in general, you can expect to receive around 100:1 for a successful suited trips bet.
