Quote: ruascottYes and at casino royale I believe.
Are either games offered anywhere in Indiana?
I'm not sure about Free Bet but 'Switch' is in Harrah's Hammond. I'll see if I can find out if it's placed anywhere else in Indiana.

Thanks. I play at the Ohio river casinos, any down south would be great.
Looking at the Wizard's site:
Rule Variants
Following are the effects of some possible rule variants. The effects are the change in the player's expected return.
•Player may do free split on pair of tens: +0.24%.
•Dealer stands on soft 17: +0.22%.
•Eight decks: +0.02%.
•No re-splitting aces: -0.08%.
•No surrender allowed: -0.21%.
•No doubling on three or more cards: -0.60%.
Mike's analysis shows the effect on the player's return so not allowing the doubling on more than 2 cards will subtract 0.6% from the player's expected return.
Quote: tringlomaneUnfortunately looking through this thread and the woo page, I'm confused on what the house edge at the mgm properties actually are. It looks like what Jim Rockford wrote earlier, 1.15%. Is that correct? Higher than I first realized. :(
Not far off. Basically, the main versions out there all only allow 2-card Free Doubles. The differences, with house edge in brackets are:-
Allow Surrender and re-split Aces (0.81%)
Allow re-split Aces but no Surrender i.e. MGM Properties (1.02%)
No Surrender or re-split of Aces (1.10%)
Hope this helps.

So no rooms offer the free double on any cards anymore? Also, I did a blackjack survey this week and noticed many more installs than this time last year. Four alone at Casino Royale, although it was 6-5. I believe that was only place I saw 6-5 Free Bet but I would have to go back in my notes.
