Any thoughts on this game? It has more options then blackjack. Does card counting work with it?

Well being that there is no 10s in the deck(10 cards) a player should hit much more say then a regular blackjack game.Chances are better hitting with 13, 14, 15 16.Wayy more smaller cards in the deck.

Say you get a 3 or 4 card 10 or 11 you can double down.If you then double and don't get a good card say a 5 you can surrender half your bet, don't have to keep the hand as in regular blackjack.

Played it quite a bit being i live 15 mins from the vegas in the east, mohegan sun casino.It can get to be a problem especially with sports gambling on the internet so easyily assesiable.

You can check out the basic strategy at wizardofodds.com

Most of the people I see play this game try to do it with the same strategy as regular blackjack bringing the casino vig up much higher than it should be. I believe with proper strategy the game is still a little worse than regular blackjack but still isn't bad. I like playing the game but it gets discouraging after a while as the dealer doesn't bust as much. The crazy thing about the strategy is hitting on 12 against anything, 13 against all but a six and even hitting 14 against 12 and 13. Some of these I still find tough to do and most players at the table will look at you like you don't know what you are doing as they thing the strategy should be the same as regular blackjack.

Gamblingman I know what you are talking about being close to Mohegan. I try to stay away as much as possible but it is tough. I won a good amount last weekend playing craps though.
