Lucky Lucky 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. I was bored.:D DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING.
You can also spend one luck point when an attack roll is made against you. Roll a d20 and then choose whether the attack uses the attacker's roll or yours.
If more than one creature spends a luck point to influence the outcome of a roll, the points cancel each other out; no additional dice are rolled.
You regain your expended luck points when you finish a long rest.

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.
