Texas Bullseye
Introduction
Texas Bullseye is a blackjack variant played at a poker casino near Houston. It removes all the 10-point cards from each deck and replaces them with 13 Bullseye cards, each worth 10 points.
Rules
Following are the rules.
- Six decks
- Decks have all standard 10-point cards removed and replaced with 13 Bullseye cards.
- Bullseye cards are worth 10 points.
- Blackjack pays 3-2
- Dealer peeks for blackjack
- Dealer hits soft 17
- Double after split allowed
- Surrender not allowed
- Re-splitting aces not allowed
- $1.30 fee per hand to play.
- Minimum bet = $10, Maximum bet = $200
Strategy
The following is my basic strategy. It is based on an infinite-deck model.
Key:
- H = Hit
- S = Stand
- D = Double
- P = Split
Analysis
I show before the $1.30 fee to play is considered, the house edge is 1.78%.
Considering the $1.30 fee to play, for a $10 bet the house edge is 14.78% relative to the bet only and 13.08% relative to the bet plus fee.
Based on a $200 bet, the house edge is 2.43% elative to the bet only and 2.41% relative to the bet plus fee.
