Im new to the group but not new to gaming and I have a question about
the payback of a blackjack game that igt makes its usually on gameking
machines.the rules of the game are as follows:single deck
game,blackjack pays 1.5 to 1,6 cards 21 or under total automatic
winner,double on 10 or 11 only,split any pair(one time only) and
double after split on 10 or 11 only,spit aces 1 time but get 1.5 to 1
on any blackjacks you recieve from the split aces,early surrender
offered(except against ace)If anyone can tell me the payback of this
game with perfect play and also how to find this strategy in order to
practice it I wuld appreciate it.Igt shows the game as 99.5 but ive
been told it is closer 99.9.Any feed back is appreciated.
thanks,
eric

Yes.
The games cheat. They do not seem to be random. The dealer gets more
blackjacks than the player does and the win percentage of double downs and splits
isn't even close. My guess at this point is that this game is not covered by
the same rules of randomness that video poker is. If somebody can show the
gaming code for this kind of a machine specifically then i will have a good case
against the company that manufactures the game because it cheats!
