Default Hot Action Blackjack

The clostest casino to me has hot action BJ It has 6 deck Continuous shuffler. Each deck had 54 cards two extra cards are jokers. If you get two jokers off the deal you get paid 4:1. They call that a super natural. Otherwise a joker counts as a two if you don't get a supernatural. You get two suited aces pays 2:1. Blackjack pays 6:5. Its a player banked game. You can be a dealer when its your turn two times in a row. You pay 2$ to be dealer if someone is betting 100$+ if not its one dollar. If your a player you have to pay 50 cents a hand along with your bet. You can spilt any card or double down anything except 12-20. There a couple other rules that wouldn't have much effect on BS. I was trying to find a way to minimize the losses when I'm the player. Then bet big when i'm player/dealer. Is there a way to create a new BS for this based on having two extra twos in each deck? When I'm the dealer I came up with having over a 3% advantage. I'm not sure for when I'm the player what the disadvantage is.

thank you

Sounds the the player disadvantage is atrocious. I have no idea though how to figure out the advantage to playing as banker or how to play that game effectively (assuming it can be done which I highly doubt).

Default All the rules?

Hi - if you list all the rules I might be able to come up with an EV and BS for the usual EV maximizing strategy. I can't do a loss minimizing strategy though.

Thank you I've been looking everywhere.
Here are all the rules. 6 Decks each deck has 54 cards two extra jokers they count as two's except if you get Two Jokers off the draw then they are a super natural which pays 4:1. Two suited aces pays 2:1. Blackjack pays 6:5. Hit on soft 17, double down on anything except hard 12-20,You can spilt anything, No surrender. Player banked game. It rotates around the table from first base who will be the dealer. If the player doesn't want to be they can pass it on. You can be the dealer two times in a row if you choose. If your the dealer you have to put up 2$ if someone is betting over a 100$ if not it's 1$. If your the player you have to pay 50 Cents each hand with your bet. Being the dealer you dont' have to pay out extra if someone doubles, gets blackjack ect. You can only loose how much you bet originally.

It pretty much sounds like a horrible game, much worse then regular blackjack. I could be wrong though...its happened before!

Its a pretty bad game for when your the player. When I'm the dealer I estimated from 3.5-4% advantage if they players knew BS for the game Most people don't know BS.

Ah, but you have to pay 1 percent to be the dealer it sounded like.

I don't suppose the dealer gets the fifty cent ante,do they?Adding 50% more twos is as bad as them taking away 25% of the tens in Spanglish 21.
