    Very popular at G2E this year were a variety of blackjack sidebets, progressive and otherwise.

    Does anyone regularly play side bets? The house edge is much higher, but the added volatility and chance for a big win is appealing sometimes.

    Does the value of a progressive jackpot make you any more or likely to play?

    Sidebets seem to work with some shuffle tracking. I noticed that one player did very well. She was really watching the 6 deck hand shuffle. She upped her side bets after a deck and a half came out. She was winning 135.00 per 15.00 sidebet and doing better on those than her regular blackjack bets.
