BJ edge with odd rules

There are these church carnivals near me, I live in Western New York, which offer the Big Six wheel and blackjack,
The rules that they offer are:
Double on 9,10,11
Blackjack pays 2-1
Resplit Aces up to 4 hands
Stand Soft 17
$1 min - $5 Max
But the main thing is that the house wins pushes.
How does this affect the house edge, does the 2-1 on a blackjack offset the house winning pushes?

Not remotely close. The house winning pushes is worth over 9%, and requires significant strategy changes.
Any game where the house wins pushes is a scam. You may as well go play some rip-off carnie game.

They have these same rules at the yearly "feasts" that come around NYC. It's run by the churches. The only differences are that the BJ is 2-20 and the tables are always full.
10 eyes for an eye. 10 teeth for a tooth. 10 bucks for a buck?! Hit the bad guys where it hurts the most: the face and the wallet.

It's for a church. It's a fund raiser, not an AP opportunity.

Every casino is a fund raiser. Where the funds being raised are going is irrelevant.

For a six-deck game, assuming DAS and no LSR, the house edge is 7.1527% using total dependent basic strategy. Composition dependent strategy will get you down to 7.1517%.

You can donate 5 dollars directly to the church instead of wasting your time with a stupid game.

You'll lose less just giving them five bucks.

AoS says that the tie lose rule equates to 9% for the house. Add on the strategy changes that will likely get screwed up and that he will probably want to play a decent length of time and it's a recipe for disaster.
