I have a mathematical question that I cannot find the answer to.
What is the probability using a 6 deck shoe, of a player having a natural hard 20 and the dealer drawing out to an eight card 21 or a nine card 21?

In that game, does the dealer hit soft 17 or stand on soft 17?

Where did you see that game?

For exactly eight cards, I get a probability of 1 in 6.50 million; and for nine cards, I get 1 in 196 million.
Last month, I played a similar game in Barona, but the player may achieve 20 by hitting. Here's a link: http://www.barona.com/events-promotions/detail.cfm?event=285
