8D DAS 78% PEN no heat

Hi,

I would like to know if you experienced AP think it is worth playing this specific blackjack game : H17 8D DAS 3:2 ; split up to 4 hands ; No surrender ; 75 to 85% penetration; play up to three hands. Note that this casino has extremely low heat, you can either back count or use a big bet spread without any attention from the pit boss.

If this casino was just 10 mins away from your place and that was the only casino in a 6 hours drive range, would you consider it to be worth card counting here?

I know the N0 and the DI is pretty bad in that case, but with a sufficient bankroll and good patience, is it dumb to consider playing there ? I could wong out at a rounded -1.

Thanks for your advices,

This is not a game I would spend time on. What is the DI you get ?

Around 4.5.

J'ai cru voir que tu es québécois (Je le suis aussi).

I know the rules are bad, but can I benefit from the fact that the casino is very close and absolutely no heat...

From my knowledge, good casinos are very rare on the north east of US.

You can see from page 214 of BJA3 that the SCORE even for 6.5/8 and a 1-16 spread is only 13.65 for play-all. Naturally, if you back-count, it could be considerably better (page 227, Table 10.26, shows 31.7). So, yes, I think I'd play this game before I'd drive six hours for another one. But that's just me. Of course, you didn't say what stakes you're playing for.
