The game is spanish 21.
Dealer hits on soft 17.
Blackjack pays 6:5
You can double down up to 3 times.
You can rescue a double down wager.
All busted hands push if the dealer has 8-8-8
You can split up to 3 times.
You can surrender half your wager at start.

What is house edge on this variant with these rules? thanks

you could try to work out something close with some of the wizard's stuff

for example, "Blackjack pays 6-5 is -1.39% to EV" is found at

yep although with no tens in the deck, I'd assume that blackjack paying 6:5 doesnt hurt as much. Could someone ballpark the game, maybe 2% edge?
