Up on 'em: bj machines, bio-machines

[Up on 'em]

This is a bit sad, in Arkansas we have only 5 bj machines & what we call bio-machines where a dealer (who never deals) stands there & hits buttons HIT,STAND,etc. Is there any chance these are worth playing? 6 decks,2/3pen,stand all 17's,DOA(first 2),DAS(split to 2 hands one mach. to 3 hands the others),no resplit A's,no surrender. On the split to 3 hands mach. there's a little video deck & cut card line that goes down with every hand & each players hand is on your screen while that player acts. So any opinions on this or just condolences?

Definitely countable, rules aren't bad, BJ pays 3:2 right?

67% pen is definitely less than optimal, but you're not going to find any better on a machine.

Yes 3:2 BJ, how Much better is split to 3 hands compared to the non-bio split to 2 hands? Not dealing with dealers & pit is a NICE change. Maybe with the obvious extra opportunities to wong & just sit out neg hands would make up for losing the extra split?
