\nHeard about a new game floating around Vegas called Free Bet Blackjack. All double downs are free! All splits are free! Same rules as basic blackjack. If the dealers draws to a 22, its a table push. Blackjack pays 3-2. House edge seems reasonably low! Any thoughts??? SKINNY???<\/p>\n

Posted by:<\/strong> Skinny on August 27, 2013, 9:29 pm<\/p>\n \tThe house edge for this game using basic strategy is 0.79%.<\/p>\n \tThis is slightly higher than the house edge on a standard game that has favorable rules.<\/p>\n \tFor example, the house edge is 0.43% on an 8 deck game with the following rules: \tThe significant reduction in the house edge of around 6.55% by the free double and free split is offset by the dealer push on a 22 which adds 6.91% to the house edge. The net effect is to increase the house edge over that of the standard game.<\/p>\n \tLas Vegas seldom (never is considered seldom) gives anything to the player when they invent a new game.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on August 28, 2013, 11:09 am<\/p>\n \tOver the past couple of years as I play Pow Gai (or however you spell it) poker, not making the envy bonus, I kept count with chips, and would have never come out ahead had I made this side bonus. The only time I came out ahead I got a straight flush and over that session would have only won $10. Count the many times I did not win and I would have been way behind.
