Interesting concept.
I can see that the main benefits to the casino are fewer cards dealt, therefore more hands between shuffles, as well as each hand taking less time. Many more hands per hour. Additionally, fewer cards are dealt to players, making counting and counting teams less effective.
However, I don't see benefits for players.
On the contrary - I can see arguments and fights break out when most players split but one player hits. Similarly, fights when one player continues to hit after other players have stood. Both of these scenarios change the cards that follow.
The scenario is similar to a player at Third Base taking a dealer's card. Here at WoV we know it doesn't really affect things. But it's hard to convince people at the table.
I would alter the rules so that all player hands continue to be dealt out, even if all players have stood, until the player hand totals 21 or more. Similarly, for splittable hands, always play it as shown in Figure 3 regardless of player decisions, again with all three hands playing to totals of 21 or more.
Also, why burn a card before playing the dealer's hand?

Hi DJTeddyBear,
There is 2 variation to Common-Hand Blackjack: The concept of 'continuation cards' (the one you mentioned) some casino don't like this because they have to explain the idea of continuation cards or Burn a card, which is nice and simple.
The procedures involving the dealing of 'continuation cards' to a player's hand despite the player deciding not to draw more cards is a feature of My Patent Application for Common-Hand Blackjack.

I can see the cards being dealt faster. But wonder about the time some players will take making their decision.
Some already act like they have never seen a 16 against a 10 before. I assumed at first that a player would
indicate a DD by doubling his bet . But what if he wanted to splits 4's? How would he indicate this to the
dealer? Will he place chips side by side for split versus atop one another for a DD ? This would seem to
be faster than waiting for a hand signal.

Hi buzzpaff,
I for got to menson.
One of the rule is: you may not split 4s and 5s.
this game is useful as a live game, but it will be much better went it is use as a Terminal, live-Remote or live-Online game.

Online or terminal would allow for a faster decision making process, that's for sure. As a champion
Hold'em player what do you think can be done to limit collusion, especially among online players??

Let's say 7 players at a live table and 8's split. 3 players want to hit and 1 gets a 3 and wants to double down. 4 players want to
double down on each split 8. Is this allowed and who goes first on which 8 ?

With the rule restrictions, I don't see players wanting to play this over regular BJ. It's not a side bet, right? Just a new way of playing BJ? In that case, why would a casino offer it (and pay you for it)? Where does their extra win come from?
If it's in shuffling/dealing speed, then that benefit disappears with any electronic implementation...

Hi MathExtremist
I don't thank there is a new BJ game that will over take the regular BJ.
The game mentioned was for the UK market back in 2006.
No Spiting 4s & 5s, Double on 9-11 only. was the the standard rule then.
The game can adapt to any Blackjack rules.
The advantage of Common-Hand Blackjack:
For live use (Limited players), it is in the shuffling/dealing speed and more Bet per hour.
For use as a live-Remote (Unlimited players) eg; live link to Terminals or live link to Online;
The advantage is You can have Unlimited players (Terminals) link it to one live table eg; (rapid blackjack, touch-bet blackjack), and/or one live table link to Unlimited players online (computers).
The concept of Common-Hand games is (not limited to blackjack) have many other benefits, because of the flexibility, and the concurrent betting style.

I would start with:
The regular winners, monitor their movements.
Find out how they win their hands.
who was on the table, when they wins.
Is there any suggestions from the members of this forum.

Doesn't more hands per shuffle, more hands per hour, fewer cards to players (reducing the counting advantage) and limited splitting/doubling provide enough of a profit jump to make it worth it?Quote: MathExtremistwhy would a casino offer it (and pay you for it)? Where does their extra win come from?
THERE'S the key. Put a camera on a live dealer, and let dozens (in a casino) or thousands (online) play at the same time, all at a pace slightly slower than one-on-one.Quote: MrCasinoGamesFor use as a live-Remote (Unlimited players) eg; live link to Terminals or live link to Online.
In a casino, I can see people prefering this over the TableMaster games. And online, real cards rather than RNG.
Very interesting.
For what it's worth, I think in this scenario, with large/unlimited numbers of players, you'd have to implement my suggestions to always hit the player hands until it totals 21 or more, as well as always play splits both ways.

I will start a thread on this. Your formula works on a final table or high limit games, but most cheating goes on at the lower limits.
That fact and the difficulty of getting paid limits the attractiveness of on-line poker to a lot of people.
