Hi, just found in Sydney casino a 2/1 blackjack payout, with 21 being automatic win (no draws possible), however a draw on 17-20 classes as an automatic loss.
How does it rate? anyone seen it around before, or a similar variation?
cheers

Can I have more details on the rules? For example:
1. Name of the game?
2. What happens if the player doubles and/or splits, and the dealer gets a blackjack?
3. Can player double after a split?
4. Can player surrender?
5. Can player re-split aces?
6. Does dealer take a hole card?
7. Number of decks?
8. Does dealer hit or stand on soft 17?
My instinct is that losing on 17-20 pushes does not make up for the 21 automatic win and the 2-1 on blackjacks.

HI, thanks wiz:
i only stayed a few minutes and didn't collect all the details; at the table I was at there was only one player, and her friend was dealing (both asian); they were playing 1 hand every 10 seconds or less, very funny actually!
1/ Blackjack special was the game name
2. dont know
3.
4.
5.
6. no (not in australia it seems)
7. usually 6-8 in australia, all with autoshufflers
8. stands, typical in australia
2-6 usually play with soft rules ie yes yes..spilits usually 9-11 only.
Ones instinct would say that yes, the double bonus would be a real sweetener, yet they take more with the other hand...
Have you seen any of my other posts, Mr Wiz?
