6 decks, shuffles after each round, Royal match has a 6.5 % house edge, the surrender option is late surrender. You can't resplit any pairs including aces. I calculate the house edge to be 0.42% . This is for the game itself and does not include any cash back or bounce back and assumes perfect strategy play.

Hi, does anyone know how many decks are used? And do they shuffle after each hand?
What are the payoffs for the Royal Match bet?
Thanks,

That is a quality play. 0.37% house edge. Might be a positive expectation on some multiple point days.
