Video Blackjack

#1

I found a Video blackjack machine with the following rules:

Dealt from one 52 card deck
Double down on 10 or 11 only
Blackjack pays 3:2
Surrender available except against dealer ace
Dealer hits soft 17
Double after spilt allowed
Only one split allowed
Blackjacks pay 3:2 on split aces

Does anyone know what the expected return on this game is,
assuming that you play basic strategy adjusted by player hand
composition?

Thanks,
sjs

This game has a house edge of 0.1314% when using a perfect
composition-dependent strategy. If the game didn't pay 3:2
on blackjacks after splitting aces, the house edge would be
0.2990%. That rule is unusual.

Thanks! I know that the split Aces rule is unusual....that's why
this machine piqued my interest in particular!

That game, even though it has $10 bets only, features let it ride, and
the slot club is good. Good luck finding it!

Is there a shuttle from CP to RIO? Where do you pick it up? Times?
Still a shuttle from CP to Palms?

Thanks

There is a shuttle from Caesars to the Rio. You pick it up at the limousine entrance (near the
diamond lounge). The times are posted there, I can't remember for sure but I think it was every 30
minutes. Don't know about the Palms, but I can't see why they would give a free ride to the
competition.

Regards
A.P.

Does anyone have a good host at 4Q. I just found out that Lillian Guthrie
is gone (anyone know where?) and I need a new host.
