I finally got around to your request of including the rules for every blackjack game. (The paytable for the Blackjack Challenge payouts was and still is in the top right of the site though). Sorry for the delay and thanks for the congratulations.
In the meantime I also added...
Blackjack side bets like Dead Man's Hand, Trilux, Buster Blackjack, and Lucky Lucky
Strategy advice for some games like Deuces Wild Xtreme and Dakota Duel Draw
Progressive Jackpot for 3 Card
Blackjack War
Dai Baccarat and Golden Frog Baccarat
More 3 Dice Duel side bets
and as I mentioned in other posts, I added the games Wild 5 Poker and PokerJack
If anyone has requests for games or knows of any new games/side bets let me know :)
Today I added Battle 1-2-3, an AGS game, which I would describe as being very similar to war. I will publish my mathematical analysis of the game and its side bets in a post later. I will also add aforementioned side bets to my website too, but for now you can read the Nevada state government's document about the game.
I mentioned a couple of these in other posts but I also added 7 Up 7 Down, Dragon Tiger, Three Card Baccarat, Dream Blackjack, 2 To 1 Baccarat, Infinite Fortune Baccarat, Tiger Baccarat, Casino Brag, Double-Deck Spanish 21, and many blackjack side bets including Sweet 16, Match the Dealer, Fortune, Top 3, Bet The Set 21, and Bust'N Loose.
APs are the reason that single-deck blackjack is so rare these days. APs are the reason that the game Double Draw Poker is being retired. I don't want to aid in the demise of side bets or games, especially since life is already hard enough for inventors.

Of course. This forum is watched by casino managers and casino game security personnel. If a new sidebet hits the tables, called FlipFlop, and analysts on this forum start announcing that FlipFlop is countable with X percent advantage to the player then it is very likely that the FlipFlop sidebet is going to be pulled from casinos and go out of existence.
This forum has a private message system. Even the moderators (Dieter and I) are unable to see private messages that are not addressed to them. That is a far more appropriate place to discuss certain kinds of topics. Even there, most forum members are very reluctant to explain actual vulnerabilities in current games or specific dealers.
I have performed private analyses for APs, casino managers (in Asia) and game developers. For security and privacy, I always take those communications to email or a messaging system external to the WOV forum. Discretion is essential
I recently realized why Light & Wonder did not want me to have their games on my site. They sell digital versions of their games to be hosted on various casino websites. Understandable. Maybe I can write the strategies and house edges of these games on my website without making these games playable. This is essentially what the Wizard of Odds did so I don't think there should be any legal problem.
In your opinion, would it cause problems if for example, I made a website where you enter your Criss Cross poker cards and my website returns the optimal strategy?
Quote: gordonm888For Blackjack Challenge, please actually state the rules in your Rules section rather than the generic rules for BJ. For example:
Standard blackjack, with the following exceptional rules:
The player loses on ties.
Player's 21-point hand automatically wins.
Blackjack pays at least 2 to 1 and up to 5 to 1. (show the payoff table).
Five-card Charlie (player's non-busted five-card hand automatically wins).
P.S. Congrats on the girlfriend.

Did anyone here ever see of play the video blackjack game that paid a progressive for getting three 7's? I only saw it when it first came out and it had a bug in it. Obviously it was supposed to pay the progressive if you had 7-7-7 for 21 but the software didn't check to see if you busted so it paid on any player hand containing three 7's. That was a huge mistake and gave the player a great advantage. I played it at Sam's Town and the next day it was gone. This was in the 1990's and I do not remember who the manufacturer was. If I remember correctly it was a $1 denom and the progressive reset to $50.
There used to be a game called catch the wave which was similar to mojo game. You had to guess if next card was higher or lower and you were paid odds depending on many times you guessed correctly. I think 8 was the max . The inventor is the same person who invented criss cross poker and double draw poker and the in between side bet.They used to deal catch the wave at Foxwoods
