I hate to say it Mr. C but, as written, I have to vote "waste of Time" for these rules. Players are essentially forced to wager additional money for a gimmick the dealer is getting for free. If they don't, they're at a huge disadvantage. If they do make the added Draw-Bet the advantage is merely equalized and the whole mechanic becomes redundant. To put it bluntly: it's both a waste of time and a ripoff.

Now you're talking. Please post when available.

I think this game sounds like fun! I would want to try playing it if I saw it. Everyone hates to play the stiff hands, 12-16 and having a hard 17 sucks as well, so this game could be very attractive.

Even aside from the decisions as to whether to discard the top card, the Basic Strategy for playing your BJ hand will obviously be very different than for standard BJ. I assume player should double and split less often and probably Hit (not Stand) on all 12s and 13s and some higher stiff hands.

Question: If you have a 10-2, discard the 2 and draw an Ace, I assume that counts as blackjack, correct?

Sounds like a copy of Zappit, with worse rules.

Hi gordonm888,
No, It is not a Blackjack.

BTW, House-Edge on this Game is 0.67%.
I will up-date the Optimal Exchange-strategy and the Game’s Basic-strategy for a 6-deck game HERE, next week.
