Introduction
Lucky Charlie is presented as a blackjack side bet in electronic blackjack games called 'Casino Wizard.' However, I view it more as a game unto itself because it can be played without making a blackjack wager, involves a strong strategy component, and it would be a terrible idea to play Lucky Charlie and blackjack at the same time because the strategies are so different.
Rules
The following are the rules for the Lucky Charlie side bet. The description presumes the reader is already familiar with blackjack terminology.
- An eight-deck shoe is used.
- Cards are scored as in blackjack, except aces are always one point.
- After making a wager, the player and dealer shall each receive two initial cards.
- If the player or dealer have a blackjack, then the player may not draw and the Lucky Charlie wager is a loss.
- Otherwise, if the two player cards form a pair, then the player may split. Note that splitting unlike tens is NOT allowed.
- If the player does not split, then the player must hit to at least four cards, with a total of 21 or less, to win.
- It is not required to beat the dealer to win.
- The following is the pay table based on the number of cards in the player's final hand.
- Seven cards — 100 to 1
- Six cards — 25 to 1
- Five cards — 5 to 1
- Four cards — 2 to 1
- All other outcomes, namely standing on three or less cards, player busting, or a dealer blackjack, are a loss.
- If the player splits, then he does not need to make an additional Lucky Charlie wager.
- I presume if the player splits he may not re-split, but I am not positive about this.
- The player shall play out each split hand individually.
- I presume drawing to split aces is not allowed, although even if allowed, the player should not split aces, so that rule is moot.
- After splitting, the player shall be paid according to the non-busted hand which has the greater number of cards.

Strategy
The correct hitting strategy is as follows.
- With two or three cards, always hit.
- With four cards, hit with 15 points or less.
- With five cards, hit with 17 points or less.
- With six cards, hit with 17 points or less.
An exception is if the player is playing the second hand after splitting and the first hand reached at least four cards. Then, the player should strive to attain a better second-card hand or bust trying.
The correct splitting strategy is to split any pair of 4's or greater.
Analysis
The following table shows my analysis of Lucky Charlie. The lower right cell shows a house edge of 16.71% (ouch!).

Choosing your bet
Use the bet '+' and '-' buttons to select your bet per line.
Use the line '+' and '-' buttons to select your number of played lines.
Click on 'spin' to start the game.
The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except 'Wizard's Hat', 'Spellbook' and 'Cauldron' symbols.
3 Wizard's Hat scatter symbols anywhere in view on reels 2, 4 and 5 awards the Wizard's Hat bonus. Pick a hat to reveal a number of free spins. Pick again to reveal your free spins bonus multiplier, then your free spins will start. Further free spins or bonuses cannot be triggered within free spins. Maximum number of free spins is 20 and maximum free spins multiplier is x7.
A Spellbook scatter symbol anywhere in view on reel 3 awards the Spellbook bonus. The spellbook will open and reveal your prize. Maximum prize is total bet x20.8.
3 Cauldron scatter symbols anywhere in view on reels 1, 3 and 5 awards the Cauldron bonus. Pick a potion bottle to be emptied into the cauldron and cash will count up. Keep picking potions until the spell is complete! If the liquid explodes, the progressive jackpot is awarded. Maximum win is total stake x1000 plus progressive jackpot.
If your spin is a losing one, keep your eye out for a rewind. The reels may wind backwards turning your loss into a win.
The progressive jackpot consists of a fixed minimum amount which gradually increases by a percentage of funds inputted into the game until it is won. When the jackpot is won, it is reset to the seed amount and begins to rise again. The current jackpot total is displayed above the reels.
The jackpot can only be won in the Cauldron bonus. There is a chance that the final potion added into the cauldron will make it explode. If this happens then the progressive jackpot is awarded.
Important points to note about Jackpots:
Jackpots are available for the 'real play' version of Wizard Of Odds only.
There is no minimum stake amount to qualify for inclusion in a jackpot game.
The seed (or starting value for the Jackpot) is: $20000.11.
It is not possible for two players to simultaneously win the jackpot: the jackpot is locked when it is being won, this means that no other bets will be accepted for it, so only one player at a time is able to win it; the first player would win the jackpot and the second attempt would be unable to place their stake as the jackpot amount that they are playing for has decreased
All players contribute 10.8% of each bet placed to the progressive with every spin of the reels. The progressive jackpot can only be won in the cauldron bonus round. All players are eligible to win the progressive jackpot on every game.
Pay table shows the winning values for the currently selected bet.
All non-scatter wins must appear on a valid winline and on consecutive reels, beginning with the far left reel.
Only the highest line win is paid on each line.
All valid line wins in view are added together and paid.
Bonus symbols are scatter wins and are awarded in any position on the reels specified.
Multiple scatter bonuses can be won in a single game.
Scatter symbols trigger bonuses in addition to line wins.
Bonus payouts are multiplied by total bet.
All players are eligible to win the progressive jackpot on every game. The progressive jackpot is funded by a fixed percentage contribution from every bet placed and is specific to this game. For details on how apparent simultaneous or multiple progressive jackpot wins will be handled, how communication limitations affect you and how it may will be discontinued or terminated, please refer to the website's T&Cs.
The maximum win on any transaction is capped and the level of that cap is shown on the final page of the in-game paytable. A transaction includes the combined results of all spins and bonuses awarded.
Bets placed in incomplete games that remain undecided will become void.
Should you get disconnected during play we strongly recommend that on reconnection you re-launch the game and ensure any outstanding transactions are completed.
Minimum and maximum bets vary depending on currency. To determine the parameters of the game, use the '+' and '-' buttons to increase/decrease the bet per line options. You will not be able to go beyond the minimum and maximum limits. You are not committed to any bet until you press 'spin'.
