Most Game Kings have even money blackjack to my knowledge. I have yet to see one that wasn't anyway. It's the price you pay to play cheap blackjack usually...lol The game you described is the best I ever heard of for a Game King.
Quote: sevencard2003so wheres this machine at? with a bet of $1-10 only, sounds perfect for my tiny roll. as long as i can still grind out comps, and play up to 5 hands when no one else is on it, still a $1-50 spread. if it dont shuffle every hand its countable.
It do shuffle after every hand and you can only spread 1-10
Quote: captain99I was wondering if anyone knows what the HE on this set of rules on the Game King 6.0 BJ machines I have run across in a casino I frequent, the rules are very liberal and only a few machines are setup with this set of rules and you have to be betting a $1 min to get these rules any less and the rules are different and really only bad thing I find is max bet is $10.00

Have you played it enough to know whether it is allowing you to double after split even though doubling after the split is not listed in the rules?
Have you split Aces, caught a ten and automatically got payed for blackjack even though it is not listed in the rules?
If the game is allowing you to do these two things you have a much stronger play. These were the two glitches in the old full pay IGT blackjack. And the rules you have listed here were the same for that game.

I just seen where you have Split One Time Only and Double After Split both listed here. Can you clarify? I think you have probably stumbled onto the IGT full pay video blackjack which I put at 100.03%. You can glean the compositional strategy to this game from the Wizard of Odds site. That's what I did. The only part of the strategy you can't get at WoO is the 6 Card Charlie strategy (maybe the Wiz could put it up for us).
There are a lot of things that can be done with this extremely low variance game (very low compared to video poker). Running comp is one. Cashback is huge, it spits money out like an ATM machine. Freeplay. Drawings based on action is another big one.

I don't think 100.03% is correct.
According to the calculator on WoO, without 6-card charlie, this would have a 0.3% house edge (with perfect composition-dependent play and shuffling after each hand), and 6-card charlie adds 0.16% for the player, so we are down to a 0.14% house edge.
It's a very good game, but there is no player edge off the top, I don't think. It might be +EV after factoring freeplay into account, depending on where you can find it.
If the dealer stands on soft 17, it would be around 100.03% or so (is that what you were calculating?) but the rules say H17.
Kinda of funny they removed all BJ except for the multi player BJ machines, I will miss it almost like having several personal ATM machines at my disposal...lol Guess time to find another edge

Yes, the game I played was S17. The first place I played the game was at Rampart in Las Vegas on their cashback multiplier days. I played the game some in Reno. And I played the hell out of it in Wendover when I was getting 0.8% comp. I had used the Wiz's blackjack calculator and rules sheet to come up with the 100.03%.

Some of these games had a Let It Ride feature. When you won the hand betting ten coins you could bet 20 coins on the next hand. If you won the second hand you could bet 40 coins, etc. You could Let It Ride all the way up to a W-2G if you could get that far.
