That is correct SOTSOG
The commission is .25 cents for $2 through $25, .50 for $26-$50 and so on. The rules for six deck are great but the commission is hard to overcome. DAS, Stay on all 17's, RSA, Early surrender, Split any 2 cards. The table spreads are $2 to $50,$10 to $100, and $25-$250. Heat is basically non-existant because the casino makes their money from the commission. All the money lost by people that can't even follow BS has to be given away.(Often times in the form of a free BJ tournament)The only requirement is that you have played so many hours(usually 30/quarter). If you visit at a slow time you can just sit and watch until the count gets good as long as someone isn't waiting on a spot. The problem is that most of the time the tables are full because naturally the casino can't afford to pay a dealer if only one or two spots are being played(because they only make money off the commission). Let me know if you want more information.
