Eastern-Europe Casino Blackjack Rules

So in my home country i play blackjack at a casino which i think has great blackjack rules. I would like an opinion about how good these rules are for card counting because i personally think they are pretty good. The rules are :
Number of decks: 6
Dealer stands on a soft 17
Player can double on any first two cards
Player can resplit to 4 hands
Player can resplit aces.
There is no hole card so player loses all to a natural BJ.
No surrender
Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
When you hit 21 with 777 you get 2 to 1 not 1 to 1
They cut about 2 decks from 6 (2 decks won't be dealt)


And lastly what i think its really valuable is that you can wong in without ANY problem. And from my experience they don't seem to know about card counting or at least they don't care about it because i'm pretty obvious when I count cards and i have never been backed off or received any heat. Is this casino a goldmine or am i just overestimating it? Looking forward to your answer wizard.

Germany?
The doubling and splitting rules are good, but the No hold card is not so good.
What makes this attractive is the penetration.
I wouldn't call it a goldmine unless you have a pretty massive bankroll, and mostly lots of free time. You won't see too many hands with good enough count and opportunity to wong in and bet big, maybe a few hands per hour. Then your wonging in will be conspicuous. Similarly if you min bet and then ramp up with the count, you'll be conspicuous again.
Sounds a good game to play recreationally with some fun counting along the way.

Thank you for your answer. No not Germany, a country in Eastern Europe. From experience wonging in has never been a problem. I've sat there with a drink in my hand sometimes for 20 minutes counting cards without betting and then when a good count comes i bet. The one time i had a problem wonging in was with the other players who said i ruined the flow of the cards by opening one more hand in the middle of the game.

I may be wrong, so wait until other people on this site confirm or not, but below is what I have for the "Wong in / out" style bettor.

"Wong in" : ~1/6 of the time, when TC = > 1.
"Wong out": ~5/6 of the time, when TC < 1.
Average EV: about +1/94***

***: I looked at it again, and this time about +1/118 was the EV figure that I got (so I guess we will have to wait for someone else to check it).

so average advantage is + 1/118 that means 0.8%. That doesn't seem bad

I just analyzed this game. The house edge is about 0.45%. This game is good for recreational playing because the edge is low, but probably not good for counting because the cut card is not placed deep enough. It is not good for wonging either because there will not be many rounds for you to profit each shoe.

Would you mind sharing a picture of the analysis? For example a game with the rules as mentioned above with a 1000 bankroll and betting strategy : 10 dollars at TC +1
20 at TC + 2, 50 at +3 and 80 at +4 (only playing positive counts)

I don't have a picture, but here is how I analyzed this.
Use this Wizard calculator to find the house edge:
https://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/calculator/

For the 7-7-7 bonus part, the probability of the player getting a 7-7-7 hand is 0.0004. However, among these player's initial 7-7 hands, you will roughly hit 50% of them. This means that this bonus reduces the house edge by 0.0004/2=0.02%. It's tiny.

I've been to casinos in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, and EVERY single casino I saw, uses continuous shufflers. No exceptions. So are you sure you can even count there to begin with?

Yes my friend i think i know the difference between a csm and a shoe.

I also analyzed this game, without including the rule that 777 pays 2:1, and I got a player EV of -0.4505%. However, the rule "777 pays 2:1" is listed here BJ Rules Variations as being worth about +0.03% to the player.

So, I would estimate a player EV of -0.421% for this set of rules. That is a good game.

Thank you Gordon. So does anybody know how to calculate your advantage against the house for every true count at this specific table? Does it increase in average with 0.5% per TC like any other table with different rules? so at TC +1 i would have 0.5%-0.421% = 0.079% Advantage at TC + 2 i would have 0.421% advantage at TC + 3 0.921% and so on ?

I haven’t played European no hole card games, but I can imagine these games are relatively harder to count than American games. I guess not many people have worried about your question.

The house edge for this game is 0.43%. There are several reasons why this ENHC game is relatively harder to count. Let me just name a couple here. I heard many European games have early surrender rules, but this game does not. For counters, surrender is the most important rule to explore but it is missing here. Doubling down and splitting less often in ENHC is another reason.
