What impact does using a double deck have on the House Edge? Also is anyone in Vegas spreading the Pot of Gold side bet that Bally had at G2E? It looks a lot more fun than betting on the dealer 22, but that is just my humble opinion!

Very little effect Michael, in fact the house edge rises slightly as the reduction in free bets overly compensates for the 2 decks. From memory I think that 2 decks has a house edge around 0.08% higher than 6 decks.

You can play it on the MyVegas suite of Blackjack games although that is a social gaming platform. There is currently no online software provider who has the game installed. Bovada are closest as they have a license and also offer 'Zappit' which is another 'Push 22' variation of Blackjack.

Thanks Geoff, was downtown last night and mostly saw DD versions. Downtown Grand looks to be a new install. Any Pot of Gold installs yet, didn't see any Downtown, will hit the Strip tonight.

Nothing on Pot of Gold as far as I know, which is disappointing. I'll try to find out what's happening.
I'm in Vegas too at present. My US phone not working at present but let me know where you're heading and I'll try and catch up with you this evening.

I was gathering game data and noticed that Luxor now only pays 6-5 on Free Bet Blackjack on a CSM. The other MGMs that offer it still pay 3-2 that I saw. I believe only Casino Royale and Luxor have this game with more than one deck as a 6-5. I guess that puts the house edge somewhere in the 2.4% range.

Oy! That increases the house edge by 1.36% in a six-deck game. I put the house edge of the standard rules at 1.03%, so this would bump it up to 2.39%, so good guess.
Did they have the Pot of Gold bet at the Luxor?
As a reminder, there is another Free Bet Blackjack thread here.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

I don't recall the side bet as this game was not on my agenda. I was gathering slot info at Luxor and happened to notice it. Once I did, I started looking out for it at other MGMs out of curiosity but it was 3-2 everywhere else I looked.
I thought it was odd that Luxor would standalone with this bad rule change. I predict they are testing it out and if it sticks then it will spread to the others. The table at Luxor was full.

Sadly, it probably will stick.
