Lasseters blackjack strategy

Last update: August 6, 2004

Following are the blackjack rules at Lasseter's Internet Casino.

 

  • Each card is dealt from a unique deck
  • Dealer stands on soft 17
  • Player can double on any first two cards
  • Player can double after a split
  • Player may split to 3 hands
  • Dealer does not peek for blackjack. Player will lose total amount bet if dealer gets a blackjack (European no-peek rule).

The first rule means that each card played is dealt from a unique 52-card deck. In other words every card dealt has exactly a 1 in 13 chance for each rank. There is no effect of card removal. Mathematically this is equivalent to an infinite number of decks of cards.

Following is the correct basic strategy under these rules.

Note that the player should hit a soft 13 against a 5 and hit a soft 15 against a 4.

The house edge under these rules is 0.63%.
