Here are the rules for the 95.7% version of Blackjack:

BLACKJACK 95.7% RULES

Dealer stands on any 17 or above.
Dealer stands on 6 cards totaling 21 or less.

Player wins on 6 cards totaling 21 or less, except against a blackjack.

Blackjack pays 2 for 1.

Double down offered when first 2 cards total only 10 or 11.
Double down wager equals original bet.

Split offered when first 2 cards are a pair.
Split wager equals original bet.

All other wins pay 2 for 1.
Bet returned on all pushes.

Game uses one 52 card deck.

Now that is the version I regularly see in Game Kings.

Of course the rule that kills is the "2 for 1" for a BJ. The Wizard has a
full set of subtractions/additions under his BJ web page, if interested...but
95.7%?

Perhaps this was a typo. With perfect play, the blackjack rules
described yield approximately 97.5%, not 95.7%.

I've seen worse than this. At the bar at Harrah's St Louis, after
checking the really ugly VP paytables, I decided to play blackjack to
get a free beer. After playing a few minutes, I realized the machine
was set to allow NO DOUBLING AT ALL. (That makes the game about 96.1%
return)
