Common questions
- What is the only difference between these two tables?
- One rule differs, and that rule is named in the difference table on this page. Every other rule is the same.
- Does the strategy chart change between the two tables?
- The cells that change are listed on this page. Where no cell changes, this page says so.
- How is the cost of the rule calculated?
- The cost is the difference between two published house edge figures. It is a subtraction of sourced figures and nothing else.
- Is this difference the same at every casino?
- No. A casino can deal a third rule differently, and that changes the figure. Check the rules of the table in front of you.
