Mahogany Room Minimum $50-$100 Max $3000-$5000
1 Table of $50, 1-2 Table of $100-200*On request managment can lower or increase limits.
Rules: Same as $30, but on the $100-$200 min table the only difference is S17 and maybe DA2. Not too sure if they changed it to Double on9,10,11 but it is still s17 game.
EDIT: There is some confusion on ENHC and OBO, OBBO and OBO+1. In Australia, there is no hole card; mainly for government regulation and prevents dealer peeking and collusion. It is not signifcant deviation from having a hole card. In order to explain OBO, OBBO and OBO+1, i will use this example.
88 v 10, You split. You now have 2 units behind the 8s. making 8 8 v 10.
[ 1.] --- 10
(1unit) 8 -- 8 (1unit)
[2.] --- 10
(1unit) 8----8,6 (1unit) [HIT]
[3.] ---- 10
(1unit) 8----8,6,9 (1unit) [BUST]
If a casino uses OBO, they do not take the BUST (1unit) they hold in eschrow. During eschrow, the 1 unit remains in play until the dealer draws his second card. If you doubled and Busted 2 Units are still held in eschrow.
In OBBO and OBO+1 they take the busted bet away; minus 1 unit. If you doubled and busted, both in OBBO and OBO+1 they take 2 units.
[4.] --- 10
(1 Unit)8,3 (Double)
[5.] ---10, A
(2 Unit)8,3,10
Now, in this scenario. In OBO+1 and OBBO, dealer will take 1 unit. Total 2 units. In OBO, dealer will take the 1 unit in eschrow. and leave the 8,3,10 double alone.
[6.] --- 10
(1 Unit)8,5 (Double)
[7.] ---10,
(2 Unit)8,5,10 (BUST)
The difference between OBBO and OBO+1 is when instead of 8,3 you recieve 8,5 and you double on 8,5. If you bust on the 8,5, in OBBO you lose your 2 units and dealer do not draw. in OBO+1, you lose 1 unit and keep your double and dealer doesnt draw. In OBBO you lose 4 Units, in OBO+1 max you lose is 3 Units.
It is better to play an OBO game than OBBO or OBO+1; because you truely only lose 1 Unit on OBO. Therefore OBO still equates to LasStrip rules. OBBO or OBO+1 are slightly unfair. OBBO is the true ENHC equivelant. While OBO+1 sits in the middle.
