You can also play an eight deck game in which the Dealer hits a soft 17, and you may double down after a split, but the re-splitting of Aces isn't allowed and no late surrender is offered. Fremont will offer you a 2 deck game of Blackjack and the rules of this game state that a Dealer will hit a soft 17 but no late surrender, no re-splitting of Aces and no double down after a split is allowed. The house edge on this game is 0.6%. They also have a 6 deck game with the same rules but the house edge on this game is 0.78% Gold Coast have a 2 deck game available and this has the Dealer hitting a soft 17 and you can double down after a split. You cannot however take late insurance and you can't re-split Aces. The house edge on this Blackjack variant is 0.45%.
