I have been looking at some of the Blackjack games in Atlantic City recently. I noticed that recently most Atlantic City casinos offer eight deck Blackjack game in their main casino floor. But in the high limit room some casino like Borgata and Bally's offer six deck Blackjack with S17, DAS with a house edge of -.40% using perfect basic strategy. The six deck S17,DAS blackjack game is only worth playing with good penetration of over 80% about one deck cut off. I did some simulation on the game and I was unable to get a N0 lower than 20000 with play all 1-16 bet spread full indices with 83% penetration. Using 1-20 it gets barely under 20000. Even using the most sophisticated card counting system like Wong Halves and Hi-OPT 2 along with side counting of Aces. In Atlantic City backcounting is not practical. The only solution is to use wongout at TC -1 or play two hands. But using Wongout in high limit pit might not be practical because there is not enough tables for you to table hop.

But with 75% penetration the N0 get over 35000 with play all 1-16 bet spread full indices. What AP method can you use to get a lower N0 for Six Deck S17, DAS game with 75% penetration? Low N0 I mean under 20000.
