Surrender option?
6 deck or 8 deck?
CSM?
Penetration?
Double any two cards?
DAS?

Interestingly enough, all PA blackjack rules are the same, by state law:
• Blackjacks will be paid off at 3-to-2 ($15 for a $10 bet).
• Dealer must stand on soft 17 (for example, a hand of Ace-6).
• Players may double down on any two cards (some sites limit doubling to hands totaling 9, 10 or 11).
• Doubling after splitting pairs is allowed.
• Late surrender is allowed (giving up half your bet after the dealer checks the hole card for a blackjack)
Pairs may be split to a maximum of three hands; aces may not be re-split.
Some tables are dealt from a shoe, others are dealt from a shufflemaster. I don't remember the number of decks or how deep they have to go.

I think it was 6 decks in the high-limit pit, 8 decks for sure outside.
High-limit range was 100-5000, outside was 25-1000 and a pit with 50-3000.
Paigow limits were fairly low, 25-1000 range, no banking permitted (yet)
Cutcards were in about 1.5-2 decks in...
All of these cards are dealt from a shoe - but come out of a shufflemaster...
Ground through about 25 shoes in my first trip out there - very playable conditions.
