What would be the added (I'm assuming) player advantage if one extra ace was added to a six-deck shoe of blackjack? How about two or even six?

Assume RSA, split to 4 hands, one card on split aces, DAS (not aces), BJ pays 3:2.

An Ace has an EoR of about .6% so if you add one you can about .6% divided by the number of decks. In six deck it's about .1%

So adding one ace per deck would basically wipe out the house advantage. Interesting. Thanks.

Well, yeah, that's sort of the point of card counting.

I realize that. Just didn't know one extra ace was all it took.

That's why a TC of +1 is about break-even in most games.

TC = +1 means one extra ace or 10 per deck.
