Hi,
I visited my local casino today and found that the casino offers Spanish 21 with Early Surrender against both Ten and Ace (ENHC, H17).
I've checked the Wizard of Odds website and found the following house edge for Spanish 21
Dealer hits on soft 17, redoubling allowed: -0.42%
And for Early Surrender against Ace and Ten, the effect on house edge is
Against Ace +0.39
Against Ten +0.24
So the house edge would be -0.42+0.39+0.24=0.21%
The only exception to the rule is that splitting ACEs only receives one card. Double double and hit after splitting Aces are not allowed.
Is the casino offering a +EV game or did I do the math wrong?
