A single-deck Vegas Strip game (blackjack pays 3:2, double down on any two cards, and dealer stands on soft 17), is pretty close to being a break even proposition for a basic strategy player. With four or more decks in play, and the same set of rules, the house has about a ½ percent edge.

Trying to figure out the HE of this game. 1) Does anyone know what other rules are typically set on these GameKing Machines? 2) How much does 2:1 lower the HE?

2 for 1 means even money for blackjack. Horrible game. Don't play it.

2 for 1 pays 2 but takes the original bet making it even money. 2 to 1 pays 2 but you keep the original bet. 1 for 1 would be a push.

I bet a lot of people play that game under the assumption they are getting 2:1 , unless maybe thats a common term and I'm just out of the loop
