    New blackjack rules

    I'd like to update the rules list at Blackjack Variations. Anyone seen any new variations not on the list?

    Yes, 3:

    1) If you split A and you get a 10, it pays 3:2
    2) If you split 10 and you get an A, it pays 3:2
    3) Tied blackjack pays 1:2

    It would be great if you could include those.
    Thanks.

    Bjarg, I think you might be referring to the Tigre place, I recently encountered these rules too. I read that it lessens the house adv a little obviously, but should it also change play? Like maybe splitting 10s at a lower count than 5 or 4 because if an A comes you get blackjack? It seems like the splitting aces scenario alone wouldn't come about enough to justify the other terrible rules like double only 10-11 and no DAS.

    I don't think Bjarg wants his games outed by naming casinos. I don't think you did but it is not wise to do so.

    Hide Rule. Several casinos in the U.P. of MI have this rule.

    hide: Dealer shows player his cards only when necessary to decide winner. If everyone busts dealer does not show his hole card.
