Electronic BJ in Adelaide

[AussiePlayer]

Was at Skycity Adelaide the other night, they now have an electronic blackjack setup similar to the electronic roulette that's been appearing. It's completely computerised, not like the big mechanical dealing machine in another thread the other day.

$2-$50,
S17,
D9, 10, 11 only
Split to 2 hands only!
DAS,
no RSA
5 decks, shuffled every hand!

There are 5 seats/computers per game and I saw 4 separate games! Sadly, as bad as this is, IT'S BETTER THAN SPORTS BLACKJACK AT CROWN!!!

Is it OBO against a dealer blackjack? Or ENHC?

If its OBO, the game is better than the main floor BJ at both Skycity AND in Queensland's casinos. And Star City in Sydney.

enhc obbo

In other words, the same policy used at Star City right?

Okay, this makes the game roughly the same as the Queensland casinos, and thus about 0.01% better than Star City.

But still about 0.09% better than the main floor of Skycity.

Never actually played in Sydney. OBO, but if you split and bust you lose with or without a dealer blackjack.

I believe with normal OBO you can bust both split hands and you only lose one of them if the dealer has BJ.

If OBO means "original bet only", where is the difference to a game with hole card ?

OBO is no different, unless it is OBBO as I mentioned above, because you can bust and lose both split hands.

The only other difference is that by playing BS, you can take not only the dealers 'bust card' but also his hole card, causing further ploppy irritation at the tables. :laugh:

Also, obviously no opportunities for HC play.

I'm not familiar with the terms, sorry for that. Just to make sure: if I bust the first split hand, will the second split hand (with stand) push on Dealers BJ ?
If I stand on the first split hand, will the bet push if I bust on the second hand ?

What happens on double downs ? and double downs after splits ?

I've never actually played OBO, but I believe that is how it works. It is explained well here: http://www.qfit.com/blackjack-rules-card-variations.htm
