Black jack bonus poker

I cannot find an explanation for the scoring of this game. It is not listed on the regular games where we can get training, etc. It says "4 aces + blackjack" which I assume means plus a 10 or honor. But then its says "4 2's,3's,4's + blackjack" I assume 4 4's = 16 so blackjack must be a 5. I assume 4 3's = 12 so blackjack means a 9 - but how do you add blackjack to 4 2's? You can't get 4 2's + anything to equal 21.
Thanks

I believe in this game it's more literal... as in a black jack (clubs or spades)

That's right webman. The jacks of clubs and spades as kickers are the bonus hands. The strategy is very complex because you treat the red jacks and black jacks differently.

Shadowman, others...
Ms. L tries BJ Bonus tonight and catches the 4 Aces + BJ for 4K. (Her normal luck)
I checked on VPGenius earlier when she asked about it and we looked at the strategy. The 51 variance is not near as bad as my Royal Aces (V=181) .
Only place I could find a listing on VPFree is Sam's Town Vegas. Also checked here for locations.
Is it a new game or an old one which might limit the places that have it?
BTW Eppy,
Welcome to the forum.

I played the game a few times myself. The version at Sam's Town is the best paytable I've seen (99.4%). They are old, old machines up on the 2nd floor. I've also seen a progressive version in Laughlin.
I used to play the game once in awhile in MN at the Grand Casinos. No longer there, though.
In all the times I played I NEVER got 4 aces with a black Jack. However, I did have a couple of RFs.

Shadowman,
Thanks for the response. Since it is older and limited in availability its probably not worth learning the strategy.

I saw it at the Luxor it also pays $1k for the 4 Jacks.
The Royal Aces I saw at Rio but you have to have like 2 pair or better which will eat you alive.
