The 2nd interpretation seems weird, but might be to encourage players to hit more frequently. Wins are paid at 2:1, except those wins against a busted dealer hand, which pays at 1:1. The English isn't very clear, but I can see two different interpretations: The rules say: If you score 21 points (or less than 21 but more than the dealer) your bet will be paid out at odds of X2.) Note 3: I used single - deck, BJ pays 1/1, dealer stands on 17, and ties push, for the above '1st draft' strategy

IMPORTANT: With 'note 2' DON'T use the 'Bust-Out Rate' figures on that site for the bj game in this post (instead, you need to work out those figures yourself). Note 2: If you want to start working on a strategy yourself, this site may be helpful to give you an idea of how you could work out a hit/stand strategy > Note: Other people on this site are better / more efficient at working out these sorts of things, but I thought I would make an 'early' attempt. If you tie with the dealer on 15 (or higher), then stand If you tie with the dealer on 14, then hit Hit a 13 vs a 4 to 11 (possible exceptions: I am currently not sure what to do against a dealer 6, and I haven't worked out what to do on a dealer 12-16) ***: Very rough guess (there are at least 2 reasons I could think of for why this is a 'rough guess', see below)ġ the CA counts Aces as 1 or 11, instead of only 11, so I had to put in 4 extra 10's as a rough substitute of having 4 Aces.Ģ the CA doesn't have a 'double exposure' option, so I can only work out what the 'rough house edge would be, if you can only see one dealer up-card'.įirst, here are some of the obvious decisions (I am nearly 100% certain these are correct, also anyone could work these out by using an 'educated guess'):Ī 12 vs a dealer 4 to 11 (I don't know what to do yet for a dealer 12 to 16)Īny hand less than the dealer, if the dealer has a 'staying hand' / 17-21.Īnd here are some decisions that I am above 50% confident they are correct (but I haven't checked them):

From 'fiddling around' with MGP's BJ CA, I would guess that this game would have a better than 5.6% house edge ***
