Go visit the Wizard of Odds site for the variations of BJ. Another one is Ken Smith's site
www.blackjackinfo.com . He has a calculator based on the rules.
Now these new-fangled Shufflemaster multi-station games hitting the floors can offer a decent game and tracked play. They can be spooky with the lifesized flat screens. The dealers stare at you from across the room. Get close and they start talking to you!
In Laughlin River Palms and Trop Express have them. BJ pays 3/2, dealer hits soft 17, Double on Any, six decks. They get shuffles halfway through, but is it when they change dealers?
They are fun and allow newbies a chance to get their feet wet. The TE has three of them in $1,2,3 minimums.
