What's the difference btw vegas & atlantic city blackjack rules?

Question

noticed the basic strategy tables differ only for pairs of 2's through 6's. It says it's because of the different house rules. Does anybody know what the differences in the rules actually are and the exact reason why the strategy differs for splitting pairs?

Link would be apreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

most vegas casinos, dealers hit on soft 17 (A6, A5A, A24, etc) where in Atlantic city they stand

so atlantic city actually has a bigger player edge than vegas because of this

all vegas casinos have slightly different rules, use this list

Answer 2

In Vegas, the dealer will let you touch the cards. but in AC you can not

Answer 3

I have no idea.

But btw means By The Way, not between.

Answer 4

None at this time. AC has virtually caught up to Vegas in gaming standards and table game variations.

Answer 5

Rules vary for both locations,  basic strategy charts that are labeled, "les vegas" and "atlantic city" should be avoided

Some rules that will effect basic strategy charts are:

The dealer hitting a soft 17

Single deck or multiple deck

Doubling after splitting allowed

Surrender option available

Double on 10/11 only

there will be a different basic strategy chart for each combination of these rules, although some may be the same.

"Atlantic city" rules typically describes multiple deck dealer stands on soft 17 double after split allowed

However these are not always the rules for blackjack games in atlantic city, there are blackjack tables where the dealer hits soft 17 and some tables where blackjack pays 6:5

Las vegas has almost every type of game imaginable, so there is no one generic rule for that local

Make all efforts to avoid a blackjack table that pays 6:5

and avoid tables where the dealer hits a soft 17

The difference regarding pair splitting strategy you mention is a result of the doubling after splitting rule,  This rule is ALWAYS availabe in atlantic city, but not everywhere in las vegas, though it can be found.
