SHFL entertainment—Neverbust Blackjack
Imagine a game of blackjack in which you can never bust out of the game. Neverbust Blackjack brings this feature to the table, enabling players to see hands out right to the end, every time! It’s simple—you discard any card that busts, leaving you still in the game with the original un-bust total. The dealer plays the same way and at the end, as in regular blackjack, the hand closest to 21 wins. If either you or the dealer has a hard total of 17 or higher, then you both must stand with that total. With no doubling or splitting, the game is fast-paced and ideal for recreational players: There is no intimidation factor as everyone plays the same. This game is great for those who wish to venture into the realm of blackjack without having to worry about strategy. In order to offer this “never bust” feature, if the dealer gets a total of 15, your bets are returned, regardless of whether your total is higher or lower. However, your blackjacks are still paid and all winning blackjacks pay 3 to 2.
Is there a math report?

haha, SHFL is still running the ad in "New Table Games & Gear, February 2013", Casino Enterprise Management, Feb issue. I got fooled.
BTW, rdw4potus, Do you know WinnaVegas, Sloan, Iowa, will be running a new table game show in early March?

I didn't know that! I've never been to that casino, either. It was flooded out when I was last on that side of IA. Now I just need to find a reason for my employer to pay for me to take a trip:-)

In the Wiz's description, it's unclear to me that the dealer actually stops hitting if he/she gets 15. I assume this is true because how are you going to end with 15 otherwise? Terrible that PH made this game 6 to 5. Even with a 3 to 2 BJ will have a house edge higher than normal blackjack.

Presumably by hitting and busting on a 15 hand. I can see that happening quite frequently.

Yes, youre right. I didn't read the Wiz's description closely enough. Busting just removes the last card in play and forces you to stand.
