I am confused by this rule variant : Unsuited 7-7-7 pays 3 to 1 bonus only.

Rummy Blackjack Odds, the House Edge, and Basic Strategy You measure the odds in a casino game by the house edge. That’s a long-term estimate of how much you’re expected to lose on each bet. In blackjack games, including Costa Rica rummy, the house edge assumes you’re playing the game with optimal strategy. 5 Handed Blackjack with Side Bet. Single Deck Blackjack. Ultimate American Blackjack. Blackjack Tournament. Multi Hand Blackjack. American BlackJack. Super 7 Blackjack. Single Deck Blackjack. Pirate 21 Craps and Roulette. American Roulette. European Roulette. American Roulette. Big Rollover Holdem.


Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say that a suited 6-7-8 pays 3 to 1. However, I decided to remove mention of it from the list. As far as I know, only the Marriot in Jaco applies that rule, and they also apply every other unfavorable rule variant.

Other questions: If you double and make a rummy hand, do you get paid on both bets? (ie, Double down on 5-5 and get another 5, or double 5-6 get a 4 or 7 )


Good question, which I didn't think to ask while there. I would assume the bonus applies to the original bet only.

Can you double the A-10 to get a 3 card 21? If not, can you hit it for a 3 card 21?

Bet
Yes. When you get A-10 the dealer will wait on you to make a decision. I see no up-side to hitting A-10.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

When I was there 15 years ago the bonus was paid on the doubled amount,if that is still true,it might be correct to double 6,6 against 2 or 3 and 4,4 against 2thru 6 but am not sure.

Damn. My hunch is that you still wouldn't double on 6-6 ever, but this would increase the EV when doubling 5-5. I know of a couple people in CR I can ask to ask about it.

The only time I can think this might make sense is if you have a suited AK or AQ and shooting for the remaining card to a straight flush. You probably wouldn't do this all the time, but maybe against a 5 or 6?
I heart Crystal Math.

If you get a 678 or 777, you get paid the bonus immediately. Is your turn over now, or do you continue to play against the dealer?
edit: What about an 888? Do you get paid the bonus and then lose your original bet because you busted?

You continue to play against the dealer.

Most casinos in Costa Rica have no blackjack at all, claiming it is illegal. Instead, they offer a blackjack-based game called Rummy.

Give them credit now, you always said you were OK with this stuff as long as they don't call it Blackjack.

Just looked over my notes.Some casinos paid 4 to 1 on 3 of a kind if the hand busted ie... 888 999,also 6,7,8 is paid 3 to 1 or 5 to1 if suited. This was 15 years ago so it very well could have changed. I played in 9 casinos while I was there.Some of the casinos would deal blackjack if enough players wanted to play that instead of Rommy. In one very small casino The cage did not have enough money to pay us when we cashed out so they took the drop boxes off of the tables to get the rest of the money.

I do. In my opinion only games that pay 3-2 on a blackjack are entitled to be called blackjack.

I never saw a 4 to 1 bonus for anything. What you see on my site is what I saw last week. I hope paigowdan manages to find this thread, as I think he has been to CR fairly recently. At the Cocal Casino in Jaco (quite a place) they didn't have enough chips in the rack to pay me when I wanted to leave so wrote a voucher for me to take to the cage.

I've calculated this, and you would never hit an A/10.
