These rules would give the player an edge of 0.3963%. Be careful with machines -- they often say "Blackjack pays 2 FOR 1" which means an even money payoff. This would give the house an edge of 4.25% with these rules.

I'm betting on the latter! :-)

Brimley Michigan, in the back room of
the firsts of the two casinos you come to.
(Just 15 miles west of Sault St. Marie.)
Nock your self out.

See my mini-report on Heartland 21.

I played it for about half an hour and broke
even. So perhaps its the former. Anyway
I think if you bet 1 and get a black jack
then you your score is increased by 2.
Isn't this 2:1 ????
If you bet 1 and win than your score is increased by 1. If its a push there is no increase or decrease, if the machine wins, than you lose 1.

It was boring. So I stoped playing.

Increased by 2 from before or after you placed the one unit bet? In other words, if you had 30 units and bet one, giving you 29, would you then have 31 or 32 after getting the BJ?
