Don or someone , help with house advantage ?

Wasn't sure if the odds given on wizardofodds site meant the player had to actually win the hand to receive the increased odds .
Suppose one found a game with the following rules : 6D , DOA , DAS , S17 and split to 3 hands with the following special rules : 5 or more card 21 pays 2-1 ,3 7's pays 3-1 and suited 6-7-8 pays 3-1 . Also in all the special rules the player's hand must actually win . Thanks

Rough answer

"Suppose one found a game with the following rules : 6D , DOA , DAS , S17 and split to 3 hands

HE = 0.417%.

"with the following special rules : 5 or more card 21 pays 2-1,

Worth about0.20%.

"3 7's pays 3-1"

Worth about 0.05%.

"and suited 6-7-8 pays 3-1."

Worth about 0.02%. So, all three bonuses are worth about 0.27%, making the off-the-top HE about 0.15%.

"Also in all the special rules the player's hand must actually win."

So, deduct a little more! :-)

Note that have to change BS

I once played at location with similar rules. I calculated the strategy changes, but no longer have them. Maybe someone else does.

(You would more likely hit 4 cards, 77, 67s, 68s, or 78s.)
