We take a look at the new live dealer game available at NJ online casinos: Side Bet City from Evolution Gaming. Learn how to play & best strategies here.

Side Bet City is now available at select NJ online casinos. The latest Evolution Gaming room delivers plenty of 80s glam and fast paced card action. Debuting at PlaySugarHouse, Side Bet City puts a new spin on live dealer poker. The aim here is simple - choose the winning hand from three possible scenarios.

With payouts of up to 1,000x, this stands to be one of the most rewarding tables in the Garden State. For details on how to play and win, read our full guide below.

How to play Side Bet City

While the game is based on poker, you don't need any prior knowledge to play. The game starts with the betting round, and you have four available options:

3 Card Hand
5 Card Hand
7 Card Hand
All Lose (pays 0.7 to 1)

Each of the hands corresponds to a payout in the paytable. Here is how the bets are paid:

Side Bet City Payouts	3-Card Hand	5-Card-Hand	7-Card-Hand
Royal Flush	100	1000	500
Straight Flush	40	250	100
Four of a Kind		100	50
Full House		50	7
Flush	4	40	5
Straight	5	25	4
Three of a Kind	35	7	3
Two Pairs		4
Pair JJ - AA		1
Any Pair	1

Once you have placed your bets, the dealer will reveal seven cards. If you have bet on a hand with a paytable payout - then you win! It's one of the easiest games to play in the Evolution Live Casino gaming library.

Side Bet City Betting Strategy

The best strategy in Side Bet City is to focus on the 3 Card Hand but also hedge your bets with the All Lose option. It may seem counterproductive to bet on All Lose, but we'll explain why you should.

If you lose a 3 Card Hand, then there's a very good chance that a 5 Card Hand and 7 Card Hand will also lose. With this in mind, you will receive back a consolation bet. The max prize in the 3 Card category is 100x - which is a stunning payout.

For a more high-risk strategy, you could just go all-in on the 5 Card Hand and aim for that 1000x win. But considering the 95.21% RTP on 5 Card results, you are looking at online slot odds.

Side Bet City is now available to play at PlaySugarHouse Online Casino. All new players qualify for an extra welcome bonus by using the code NEWBONUS.
