However, your regular Blackjack hand is still in play, and you can still win or lose that hand based on the normal rules of Blackjack. If your first two cards do not form a pair, you lose the side bet. The payout for each type of pair varies depending on the casino, but typically, Perfect Pairs pay out 25:1, Colored Pairs pay out 12:1, and Mixed Pairs pay out 6:1. If your first two cards form a pair, you win according to the payout table for that type of pair. However, if the player has a hand with any other pair (such as two 10s of different suits), then they will not receive any bonus.
If the player is dealt a perfect pair they are paid out a bonus, regardless of whether they win or lose the hand. PRO TIP:In Perfect Pairs Blackjack, two cards of the same rank and suit (such as two Jacks of Spades) make up a “perfect pair”.
