Per CBJN, you would have to play $25 minimum to get S17 6-deck. Even
then, house edge off the top is .33. Rules are DAS, LS, NORSA.

Better choices--on the strip--would be either San Remo or Stardust;
both of which have $10 minimum double-deck S17,DAS. House edge = .19.

You can do "slightly" better playing downtown--Plaza, Las Vegas Club,
Four Queens, or El Cortez. Best edge is .14 at Plaza; others .18.

I will be at the LV Hilton over Superbowl Weekend, Can anyone tell

me the

current rules for blackjack? In particular for the 6 deck S17

tables if any. i.e

late surrender?, DOA?, RSA?

Thanks

Thanks. I will be at the LVH playing mostly Pick'em, 15/8 LD, and 3 play 9/6
JoB, but I do like to interact with people every once in a while so I will
probably sit down at a blackjack table for a while. I just wanted to get an
update on the rules so I could practice a little before hand.

By the way I am not familiar with NORSA? N__? O____? Re-Split Aces

RSA = re-split aces. Almost universal practice is that, after
splitting aces, player receives only one card on each ace. When RSA
is effective, and another ace is dealt, player is permitted to split
the two aces (putting up another original-size bet), and receive one
more card on each ace. When this is allowed, it is almost invariably
best strategy to do so; value of it being allowed is around .06 in a
six-deck game.

Related, almost all casinos allow a maximum of three splits; thus
player may wind up with maximum of four hands.
