Introduction
I first saw Lucky 8's in June 2016 at the Venetian. It is an innovative new table game, which is something I don't often say any more, in this era of copycat games. The betting structure of the game is similar to Three Card Poker, in that there is a raise or fold decision, and the dealer must have a certain hand to qualify. However, the scoring is based on the number of 8-point groupings that can be made with eight cards.
Rules
Here are the rules to Lucky 8's.
- The game is played with two modified decks of cards. Each deck uses only the aces to eights and one joker. The total cards is thus 66.
- Aces count as one point and jokers count as 8 points. All other cards are scored according to pip value.
- Play begins with the player making an Ante bet and optional Lucky 8 side bet.
- The dealer shall then give the player and himself eight cards each.
- The player shall examine his cards for the maximum number of sets of eight points he can created. A set can be of any number of cards, including one. If there are mutliple ways to create the same number of sets, then the player should go with the way using the greatest number of cards.
- The player must either fold or raise with an In to Win bet. The In to Win bet must be equal exactly to the Ante bet.
- If the player raised, then he should set his cards into two groups — One consisting of cards that are part of a group of eight and the other of the leftover cards, which are called the Side Cards. Otherwise, the dealer will collect the Ante bet.
- After the players have made their decisions, unless all of them folded, then the dealer shall check his hand for at least one natural eight card or a joker. The dealer needs at least one eight or joker to qualify. If the dealer does not qualify, then the Ante is paid 1 to 1 and the In to Win bet shall push.
- If the dealer does qualify, then he shall set his hand. As with the player, the dealer's objective is to maximize the number of sets of eight points. If this can be accomplished multiple ways, then the dealer will strive to minimize the number of Side Cards while still maximizing the number of sets.
- The player and dealer hands shall then be compared, the one with the great number of sets of eight points shall win. In the event the number of sets is the same, then the one with the fewest Side Cards shall win.
- If the player wins, then the Ante and In to Win bets shall pay 1 to 1.
- If the dealer wins or ties, then the Ante and In to Win bets shall lose.
- The Lucky 8's bet is adjudicated according to the number of natural 8's in the player's hand (eights or jokers). The dealer's hand does not matter and the Lucky 8's bet is adjudicated whether or not the player raises or folds.

Strategy
The strategy is based on the number of 8-point sets the player can make and Side Cards, as follows:
- 1 or less sets: Always fold.
- 2 sets: Raise with two or less Side Cards, otherwise fold.
- 3 or more sets: Always raise.
Analysis
The following table shows the probability and return of all possible outcomes of the Ante bet. The lower right cell shows a house edge of 2.03%.

Introduction
Lucky Lucky is a side bet based on the player's first two cards and the dealer's up card. As far as I know, it is the first side bet to be based on the player's first two cards and the dealer's up card. Since it came out, there have been many imitators.
Through the years I have seen four pay tables, which I refer to on this page as numbers 1 to 4. Pay table 1 was the original one and seen at casinos all over the United States and Canada. Pay table 2 was a double-deck version, omitting the pay for a suited 7-7-7, which is impossible in a double-deck game. Pay table 3 came along around 2014 as an apparent effort to increase what was a low house advantage for a side bet. Pay table 4 can be found at Internet casinos using Felt Gaming software.
The following table shows the various pay tables.

Introduction
Lucky Lucky is a side bet based on the player's first two cards and the dealer's up card. As far as I know, it is the first side bet to be based on the player's first two cards and the dealer's up card. Since it came out, there have been many imitators.
Through the years I have seen four pay tables, which I refer to on this page as numbers 1 to 4. Pay table 1 was the original one and seen at casinos all over the United States and Canada. Pay table 2 was a double-deck version, omitting the pay for a suited 7-7-7, which is impossible in a double-deck game. Pay table 3 came along around 2014 as an apparent effort to increase what was a low house advantage for a side bet. Pay table 4 can be found at Internet casinos using Felt Gaming software.
The following table shows the various pay tables.
