I am not aware of any live blackjack games in Las Vegas that only permit splitting once. The Wizard of Odds Blackjack House Edge Calculator shows the legacy rules have a 0.25% house edge when a cut card is used, which this game does. These changes roughly double the house edge of the game. It will also only permit splitting once for all pairs. The new information shows that this game will hit soft 17 in the near future if it does not already. Players could double down before and after splitting, as well as split all pairs, except aces, up to four hands. In our last survey, Mirage still had a double-deck game where the dealer stands on soft 17. The document in the tweet above discusses two big downgrades for the last double-deck blackjack game dealt at Mirage.
Two changes appear to be coming to Mirage double-deck blackjack The 3:2 blackjack tables are in the pit by the high-limit salon.
These are mostly at tables by the casino cage and sportsbook. At last check, all blackjack tables under $25 at Mirage pay 6:5.
One item noticeably absent is the status of 6:5 games. There are some major changes discussed here. nJOS85HlPU- Vital Vegas February 6, 2023 Internal document: Blackjack changes coming to Mirage.
