How do these rules effect house edge?

I've been trying to figure how playable certain games were and the 2 rules I couldn't find anything about are:

Dealer wins pushes (except for 21)

and

You can recieve another card on split aces, however doubling is required (can double for less though).

Anybody know?

Thanks,

For 8 decks, dealer stands on soft 17, player may double on any first two cards, player can double after splitting, player may split to 4 hands: Player losing all pushes 17-20 increases the house edge by 8.38% making the game terrible.

There's a few rule variation's effects listed at http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack.

Actually the game with the "dealer wins pushes" rule also has a "blackjacks pay 2 to 1" rule. I was just curious if the 2/1 rule ( +2.31?%)made up for or out-weighed the pushes. The rest of the rules are: 6 deck, S17, RES4, NRSA,DA2, DAS. Those are all the rules I could find values for. Would be a pretty sweet game if not for the push thing.

The "second card on aces but only with doubling" rule is actually at another place and I just thought I would ask at the same time. I think other rules for that were: 6 deck, S17, RES4, NRSA,DA2, DAS

Thanks

In 1,000 hands betting $10 a hand, you would lose about 70 hands that would have been a push for a loss of $700.
In that same amount of hands, you'll recieve about 47 BJs and make an extra $235 for them.

Well, you did have one thing right - all the rules besides "blackjack pays 2:1" and "dealer wins pushes" are completely insignificant compared to these two rules. :grin:
