While this game is solely for fake money (tokens) on their site, which can be used for prize drawings, I'm wondering how smart (or not) it is to sit here and play this as opposed to their other games.
Pretty much all of their games are +EV; some of their Video Poker returns 120-140%. So I know their BJ has to be +EV, it's just a matter of how much.
The setup:
1 deck, H17, heads-up play (you and dealer only)
Deck dealt until the last possible card (the game knows when there aren't enough points left on cards in the deck to complete a hand; this could mean dealing until 8 cards left, or dealing to the absolute last card)
(The game is kind enough to give you a running count of 10s/face cards in the deck at all times, though you can just track every card as it comes out.)
5-card Charlie (though if you get a 4-card soft 21, the game stops you from hitting on it, which can result in a push sometimes)
Split up to 4 hands, but non-matching 10s/face cards cannot be split
DOA, one card dealt to split Aces, re-splitting Aces okay
Available spread is 10 to 250 tokens; only allowable bets are 10, 25, 50, 100, or 250.
Side bets on the first two cards (5 tokens each, cannot be above or below this, once a Side Bet is selected, it is on for every hand in that single deck and cannot be turned off or changed)
20:1 (100 tokens) for any pair
120:1 (600 tokens) for a Royal Match, but slightly easier than the normal RM as a Jack also counts (KQ suited, KJ suited, or QJ suited all work)
240:1 (1,200 tokens) for a pair of 7s
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
