In late March 2005
Playtech introduced two new blackjack games - "blackjack surrender" and "single deck".
Both these games are an improvement on their standard blackjack game with its 0.52% house edge, although the rules for the single deck game are so bad that it really isn't all THAT much better!
Blackjack Surrender: this is a standard six deck game with good rules - S17, DOA, DAS, OBO - plus the additional option to "surrender"; see the
blackjack rules definitions section of the Blackjack Overview page for details. The house edge, with accurate play, is 0.36%. The basic strategy tables can be found on the
Playtech basic strategy charts page.
Blackjack Single Deck: the rules here are H17, D10, no DAS, OBO; doubling and splitting is VERY restricted, and this has a strong effect on the house edge - 0.42%. The respective basic strategy chart can again be found on the
Playtech basic strategy charts page.
