Viejas Casino Blackjack Tournament

  

Free Bet Blackjack @ Viejas Casino

For now, Viejas is offering a liberal interpretation of the Free Bet Blackjack rules, where they’ll now let you free double on two card soft 19, 20, and 21. The rules printed on the felt say free doubles only on hard 9, 10, and 11, but they’ve interpreted A-8 to mean hard 9, A-9 to mean hard 10, and A-Ten/Face to mean hard 11. This is only slightly helpful to the player.

San Diego's best Blackjack is here! From dusty old Westerns to new classics like 21 and Rainman, Blackjack has been featured in countless movies. With built-in drama and easy to learn rules, it’s no wonder that it’s still the most widely played table game in the world. STRATEGIES FOR BLACKJACK TOURNAMENTS. As I mentioned above, playing blackjack in a tournament is not the same as playing blackjack in a casino. There is a unique set of tournament skills that often determines whether or not a player will succeed in tournament.

Blackjack

The Viejas rules are:

  • Free double on two card hard 9, 10, 11
  • Free double on two card soft-19, soft-20, and Blackjack
  • No re-split of Aces
  • No surrender
  • Free double after free split

The house edge is 0.88%, which isn’t too bad. Without the free doubles on the soft totals, the house edge would be 1.10%. I guess the free doubles on the soft totals make up for the lack of surrender. The basic strategy for the non-free-split hand is listed below. Refer to the original post for the basic strategy for free-split hands.
