Casino Gaming’s innovative Automatic Win is a betting option that provides players of traditional blackjack with a guaranteed win against the house.

Players can opt to make the bet if they’re dealt a two-card 20 and the dealer is showing a 10-value card without blackjack. By taking the option the player automatically wins the hand, in effect forcing the casino to surrender, and by so doing keeps his or her original bet and comes away in addition with half the amount of the original bet.

The theory behind the option is that players dealt a two-card 20 when the dealer’s up card is a 10-value card will lose or push almost 50 percent of the time. So with Automatic Win the player has a 100 percent assured winning option.

And it’s proving to be a popular one. Automatic Win can now be found at some 500 tables in 10 markets throughout the United States: Las Vegas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey and West Virginia.

“We are pleased that blackjack players are enjoying the added option of the Automatic Win, which adds a new and exciting element to the traditional game of Blackjack,” says Frank Mugnolo, president of Chicago-based Casino Gaming.

The company plans to parlay its success with a series of innovative new proposition bets for craps called “Point 7, 7 Point” and “7 Point 7”.
