It sounds like the game is the same, but the difference is in the commission collected. It's a no-commission game, provided you make a minimum side ("bonus") bet. Since the side bet generally has a large house edge, you wind up paying a percentage of your money into the house anyway, but the game is sped up because the dealer doesn't have to mess around with deducting 5% from winning bets.
