When you split the casino matches your bet so if you lose, you'd only lose your original bet. If you win you would get the same money as if you would have traditionally split. Also, all doubles on hard 9, 10, and 11 are free (same as split). I only played maybe a couple hundred hands of this game and wondered everyone's thoughts. I felt like it took some strategy out of the game because you would double everything no matter the dealers up-card. But, I made some money and even enjoyed playing- Thoughts?
Spencerb533,

Welcome to Blackjack the Forum!

The game you described is called Free Bet Blackjack. The Wizard of Odds has analyzed it, see:

Notice that Basic Strategy changes depending on whether the hand is "real money" or "free money".

Hope this helps!
