Blackjack in AC?
I was wondering if there was a chart that showed the different rules for blackjack in all of Atlantic Cities 12 casinos.

Re: Blackjack in AC?
they're all pretty the same in AC.
8 decks (borgata 6 decks) double any two cards double after split stand on soft 17 (SOME starting to do hit soft 17) split two times into three hands (sometimes four), except aces no late surrender in the high limit VIP pits ($50-100 mins), there are more 6 decks tables, and reported that trump marina will allow surrender upon request. |

showboat is hit soft 17 [/ QUOTE ] Showboat, Wild Wild West and Claridge have added H17 to their low limit tables as of late. however, each of those three properties are reported to still have 2 tables each which are still S17 (plus the higher limit pits are still S17). so look around carefully when you play at those places. from what I can tell, no other AC casinos have adopted H17 yet, including the other Harrah's-owned properties. |

How does hitting on S17 affect the house edge? I can only assume it helps it.

[/ QUOTE ] dealer hitting on soft 17 increases the chance of drawing to a higher pat hand of 18-21. while it also increases the chance of busting slightly vs. standing on soft 17, the higher pat hands make up for it in the long run. hitting on soft 17 increases the house edge on a typical shoe game about 0.20%. this almost doubles the casino profit for basic strategy play with good las vegas conditions. this is also why a PLAYER should never stand on a soft 17. always hit, or double down if the situation is right. |

Re: Blackjack in AC?
Generally you should never stay on soft 17. Like, ever.
And s18 only hold v Dealer's 7 and 8. Depending on exact casino rules, of course. |
