As far as I know, Sands in Pennsylvania is the only casino to evaluate tiles for low hands of value zero. So if you have a chong/bon zero and I have a mooy/ping zero, I win the evaluation.

How does this affect strategy and house edge, if at all?

This would be good for the player as normally, any zero-zero faceoff is automatically won by the house (banker). So now the player would win slightly less than half of those matchups (he would still lose copies) rather than ALL of them.
