Casino House Rules and Variations

House rules will vary from casino to casino and even from table to table, for instance, table to table rules would vary depending on the number of decks used. Many casinos use what is called �Las Vegas Strip Rules�. They are as follows:

a.) single deck
b.) dealer stands on 17
c.) double on any first 2 cards
d.) no doubling after splits
e.) split up to 4 hands
f.) split aces and receive only one card
g.) no surrender

Variations of these rules will impact the odds of the player�s game. Some of these rules will benefit the player and others will benefit the house. It is important to know which work to the players advantage in order to play on the correct tables.
