    What casino is this? I've played all over the USA and I have never heard of such a thing.

    Why strange? I have never played outside the USA. Many American casinos require you to play twice the table minimum when playing two hands.

    There is no advantage to the casino in forcing you to play two hands when heads-up, other than the fact that you are putting more money in play (assuming you were betting the table minimim either way).

    Up until the recent gaming changes there was not a single casino in England that could allow a player to play just one spot when heads up against the dealer. (You had to play min. 2 spots).
    The British Gaming Board have now relaxed this rule although it is up to the individual casino as to whether they wish to allow players to play 1 spot heads up or not.

    Shadow: Re: Germany

    It's quite common in Germany.

    Most of them don't open a table before 3 players are playing on the table (Or three spots are used, but mostly require at least two different players!).

    The difference to the U.S. is that they usually don't have a dealer waiting at the table for players. If there aren't enough players they won't open. And if they open they want to be sure that the table is in action for the whole time (till they close it at 1:00 or 2:00 am).

    In case the last player leaves the table they close it down immediatly.

    Typical bad customer service attitude in Germany.
