Try my free game app in the apple app store and tell me your thoughts. We are trying to go about getting the game into casinos a little differently than the norm. We developed the app to get a good following before taking a stab at getting it into Casinos down the road. It's gotten a good response so far but I think this crowd will be a better indicator towards the ultimate goal.

Here's the link:

I have to admit, that URL looks dangerous -- virus laden -- I couldn't possibly click on it.

Do you have a website to describe the game?

That's off the top, though. This intuitively seems pretty countable to me, have you done the EORs? What does your optimal strategy say is the fold percentage?

This unfortunately seems to be the case in my mind as well. Although the usual continuous shoe statement will overcome this as in every other game. Just at a significantly increased cost to the operator for a under 1% HA game........ May be something to keep in mind.

Well we had a statistician do the HE analysis and you're welcome to see his report. He's apparently well known in the industry. His name is Don Catlin. I'd be more than happy to send you his report. I can tell you that when playing optimally you should never fold. I was surprised by that but I specifically recall him discussing that with us. Also, he points out in his report that the HE moves considerably by changing the number of decks and of course modifying a rule on ties or the range itself. He felt you can utilize an edge anywhere between 1% and 5% without ruining the game play.

As far as the EOR's go, that was not part of the report. To be completely upfront, that is a concern of mine as well. We will have to figure that out sooner than later as that could certainly could be a deal breaker when playing for real.

I know Professor Catlin's work as anyone in the business should. But if he didn't do an EoR study for you, you should either have him do that or hire Eliot post-haste. Then code up a simulator and see whether the game is beatable with penetration. You don't want to go to market with the caveat "this game is only safe to operate with a CSM."

Here is my analysis of the Bonus bet, assuming six decks:

Total Pays Combinations Probability Return
6 or 33 50 4,048 0.000807 0.040372
7 or 32 10 33,120 0.006606 0.066064
8 or 31 5 129,312 0.025794 0.128968
9 or 30 4 227,272 0.045334 0.181335
10 or 29 3 211,680 0.042224 0.126671
11 or 28 2 259,200 0.051702 0.103405
12 or 27 1 312,496 0.062333 0.062333
13 to 26 -1 3,836,192 0.765200 -0.765200
Total 5,013,320 1.000000 -0.056052


And the same thing for eight decks.

Total Pays Combinations Probability Return
6 or 33 50 9,920 0.000833 0.041638
7 or 32 10 79,360 0.006662 0.066621
8 or 31 5 307,712 0.025832 0.129159
9 or 30 4 541,920 0.045493 0.181972
10 or 29 3 503,296 0.042251 0.126752
11 or 28 2 616,448 0.051749 0.103499
12 or 27 1 742,592 0.062339 0.062339
13 to 26 -1 9,110,912 0.764841 -0.764841
Total 11,912,160 1.000000 -0.052862


Can anybody confirm or deny they are using the pay table above? The math report mentions another one, but the video on the game web site says they intend to use the one above.

Also, does anyone know the number of decks they are using at the Magnolia Bluffs?

Finally, can anybody confirm or deny how they are dealing the game (cut card or continuous shuffler)? Feel free to PM me that answer if you prefer it not posted.

Eliot came up with the same figures. Also a card counting analysis.

Just finished my own page on Casino Over Under. In all honesty, I don't break any new ground on it. However, please have a look anyway. As always, I welcome all comments, questions, and especially corrections.

Thank you.

Suggestion: in the how to play section get rid of all adjectives.

Just Step one
Step two
Step three.... as it would be printed on the table layout or a casino tent-card on the table.

Values are not 'as in blackjack except Aces are always eleven.
Values are:
1 - 10 indicated pip value
Picture 10
Ace 11 (or) 11 at all times.

take out the adjectives and descriptive puffery. Simple.

I'm always appreciative of suggestions. I also agree that explanation of game rules are no place for adjectives. That said, can you be more specific about anything you find objectionable. It looks like my wording of the card values is the same as yours, except I used "face cards" and you used "picture."

Maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, so can you give me a specific rule you find is too adjective-laden, and what you would recommend in its stead, and I'll be happy to consider it.

Thank you.

Haven't looked at the Wizard page yet, but pip 1-10 face value is incorrect if aces are always 11. maybe pip 2-10?
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Sorry, my post was meant to address the excessively verbose text on the game-inventors' website, not any post in this thread or your brand new page which I thought was quite good.

Note: Face card is indeed a better term than picture card.

Thank you. Actually, I think whoever backed the Revel may not have been that sharp.

Wiz, step 3 in your game-play instructions may have a problem. As I understand it, Kobal says the player is never required to place a Bonus bet, but, if placed, the Bonus bet must equal the Ante bet. Your step 3 seems to suggest the player may omit the Ante ("Play starts with the player making an Ante and/or Bonus wager. ")

Does this improve your text? "Play starts with the player making an Ante wager. In addition, the player may bet an amount equal to the Ante wager on the optional Bonus wager."

Or, am I overlooking something on what has been presented to us as a very simple, easy-to-play game?
