Playing conditions for Blackjack in Mauritius are as follows:
5 Deck shoe
75% penetration on average
Dealer stands on soft 17
Double after Split is allowed (as well as Doubling on any two cards)
Resplitting of aces permitted
No multiple draw after ace split
No hole card for dealer
How do these rules compare with casinos in other parts of the world?

They are rather good. If you double or split vs. the dealer's T or Ace, and he subsequently has a blackjack, do you lose all of your bets or just one? If just one, then so much the better!

Merci Beaucoup.
Unfortunately as regards Dealer's no hole card, Dealer's Blackjack wins all. I also forgot to tell that a betting spread of 1-10 is admitted (which seems to me the most obvious vay to avercome the Casino's advantage).
I will filter out Mauritius from the countries worth to visit.

As far as I know the casinos that you refer to are using CSM"s. Is that not correct?
I know of approx 10 casinos in MU but I have yet to see one that allows the resplitting of aces either.
Whch casinos have you played over there?

As least in the Casino in Curepipe, the dealer shuffles manually the cards in the shoe.
I have also confirmed with the pit boss that resplitting of Aces is allowed.

Are you positive about this?
Previous to placing the cards into the shuffle machine at the start of each session the dealer normally hand shuffles and washes the cards but does not touch them after that.
Is this what you have seen?
Is the game dealt from a plastic shoe on the dealer's left or from a machine?
It is a shame as there are several hundred thousand tourists that visit MU each year many of them with big money to spend.
The casinos make no effort to entice these 'gamblers' and they are often 'put-off' by the sight of the machines, believing the game to be a kind of computer BJ.
It is true that Mauritius is a nation of gamblers but the allowable spread and table limits are so low the casinos are at no risk at all.
Just my humble opinion but the general managment and especially those using CSM's have no concept of the potential profit.
I have never observed a player playing basic strategy,let alone attempting to count and by the way I would spot them easily if they were.
The Chinese are the worst culprits and will back-bet on anybody wearing red
> Did you go to the new casino in Curepipe? I went there last weekend and I confirm that shuffles are manually done. Casinos don't need card counting pit bosses or shuffle machines when gamblers there stood on 12 v T and doubled with A9 v A. I agree with you that with this kind of play the casinos take no risk at all.
Rgds,
JJ.
P.S Should you ever come to MU again, please send me an e mail.
Re-bonjour,
Can you clarify what the table conditions are please JJ?
T Biches has the following rules:
6D,
Double 9,10,or 11 only
DAS
No ace resplits
1 card draw to split aces
ENHC-lose all
No surrender
About 55-65% pen (which is terrible).
Extremely long and boring shuffle taking almost as long as the play of the shoe?
Do you know if the machines have been removed from Le Cauden and Domain Les Pailles as well?
Perhaps they finally realized how much they were losing especially if there are no skilled players around.
The machines are too expensive if nobody plays them!

By the way don't play at Trou aux Biches or Domaine Les Pailles, the rules stinks.
Thank you JJ. Maybe I will see you there one night.
