Many table games offer side bets in addition to the main action, but are these worth the extra wager? We take a look at the advantages and disadvantages.

There are generally three purposes for side bets: jackpots, time killing, and added value. We’ll look at each type, why they are there, and whether you should touch them.

Side bets for jackpots offer the chance at winning a big prize if you get lucky on your hand. These are the kind of side bets you find in progressive blackjack, progressive Caribbean stud poker, or progressive casino hold’em. Generally, the house edge on these bets is fairly high, but the cost per hand is usually quite low and the jackpots tend to be high enough for most players not to worry about it too much. Play these bets if you like slots jackpots but prefer to play table games.

Side bets for time killing are found in games with delayed outcomes, mostly just craps, but Pairplus in tri card poker is also something of a time killing side bet, as it is decided immediately after your hand is dealt. These bets keep you engaged with the game, and also give the casino more opportunities to make money. The house edge can vary dramatically, so we suggest you consult a strategy table for your favourite games to learn which of these bets to make.

Added value side bets do not mean added value for the player. Side bets on blackjack variants tend to exist to give the casino some added value, and you can’t really spot them that easily. The only way to avoid these bets is to do your research before playing a new game.
