I've checked out 5Dimes Casino's Single-Deck Blackjack, and it seems good. 3:2, etc. But obvously they still have to have a house edge. I did a quick sim for single-deck, 1 round (due to their 'shuffling' after every round), and for like 1-2 million hands the player edge was about .29, if I am not mistaken. But (of course?) the details matter: double down rules, resplitting rules, etc., which I have really looked into. But still, it doesn't seem this game must end up having much of a house advantage, correct?

i have my doubts about five dimes, not sure if they still have it but they had a paigow game the instead of charging five percent commision paid out 102.99 on every winning hand in the bonus casino, not sure how this can possibly be fair

Sorry for the very late post, but found this, and investigated. Check out these rules: some I cannot find an answer for, like the Insurance pays 11 to 5.
This is from 5dimes Bonus Casino:
" Classic Single-Deck, Single Hand
After each hand played, a new single deck is shuffled and dealt. Blackjack pays 3/2. Dealer hits on soft 17. Double down on 10 & 11, even after splits. Split pairs up to 3 times. May split aces once. Late surrender available, even after splits. Insurance pays 11/5. Seven Card Charlie is automatic winner."
Not too sure about House Advantage if any. EDIT: The game is -0.26%. 1D H17 D10 DAS RS3 LS No Soft Double.
BTW the best "Classic" B&M game is either 1D S17 D10 DAS (Old Binion's at -0.13%) or 1D H17 D9 DAS ReSplit allowed (-0.16% Ceasers)
