What it is
Lucky Lucky pays based on the total of your two cards plus the dealer's upcard. Any 19, 20, or 21 wins, with bonus payouts for two specific combinations: suited 7-7-7 (the namesake jackpot at 200:1) and suited 6-7-8 (a "lucky" 21 made of consecutive cards at 100:1).
The marketing leans into the 200:1 payout, but suited 7-7-7 lands roughly once every 1,800 hands. The everyday wins on Lucky Lucky come from regular 19s, 20s, and unsuited 21s — smaller payouts that drive the bulk of the math.

Verdict
Among side bets, Lucky Lucky is one of the more reasonable choices. Its 2.6%–3.0% house edge sits well below the worst options on a casino floor, and the per-deck variation is mild — you don't need to game-pick the table to get the best version of the bet.
Context matters, though. A 6-deck blackjack game runs at ~0.5% house edge with basic strategy. Lucky Lucky is still 5–6× worse than the main game. If you enjoy chasing the suited 7-7-7 jackpot for entertainment, the math isn't catastrophic. If you're trying to extend bankroll, skip it.
