I have a question about casinos that only give you a bonus upon playing games other than bj. How can you determine if these games provide a positive ev? What non-bj games are best to play to minimize your disadvantage? Thanks.
Greetings;
The answer depends on other T&C. Losing BJ you lose a game with an EV of less than -.5% for most software. The alternatives have to be less than -3% or you will really play with fire! If allowed Craps, Roulette (single zero or en prison rules), Baccarat(banke & player), Sic Bo (large or small bets only), Pai Gow, Casino War and Three Card Poker(pair plus) are all under that negative EV. The latter four are not present at all software providors however. And the first three, usually are not allowed for wagering requirements.
But the real bottom line is unless this bonus is extremely generous, I would avoid the casino entirely. There are way too many reputable casinos that allow BJ or even better, BJ Switch, towards your wagering requirements.
Bon Chance!

If they don't allow BJ play, it is likely that the games they do allow have a strong house edge. I wouldn't bother, stick to the ones that allow BJ play. You are playing close to an even game, and unless you are going to do alot of BHing (I do about 3-5 hours a day), there are plenty of bonuses out there.
