Single deck
Horseshoe has a single deck that pays 3 to 2 on BJ. You can't double after splitting, and can only double on 9,10, and 11. Is this worth playing?

The House Advantage on this game is -.25
This is a very good game for minimal stakes only, as the heat at that casino can be intense.
Note: a Double Deck game with the same rules AND permitting all double has a House Advantage of -.19, but that does not exit for low stakes in Las Vegas.

Last month there were a number of the .18 HE games at Binion's (same as the games Shadrock mentions), but I couldn't find a single one late last week. I'm assuming they switched them out due to the massive influx of tourists for the NCAA Tournament. Maybe they'll bring them back after the madness ends.

The .19% DD games are all S-17, while this SD game is H-17

forget rules/house edge, "what is the pen like on these SDers" is what you should be asking.

4 hands or more only 2 rds, 3 hands is 3 rds. I am not sure if they have the ok to shuffle early due to a big bet spread. They don't have a cut card.

I've always noticed in my time at binions that the pen is horrible, shoe games and pitch games included. Maybe times have changed???
