Splitting 10's for Blackjack

I have recently played at a casino with the following rules 4 deck, D9, DAS, ENHC, ES10, S17, 70% penetration and if you split 10's and get an Ace they pay off as a Blackjack (not true if you split aces though). The first time I saw this I thought it was a dealer error but I have since confirmed that it is their rule. Can anyone tell me if this means I should split tens more often. Without this rule, you only split 10's at a true count of +4 or more against dealer 6 and +5 or more against dealer 5 which means it doesn't come up very often. In this casino, lots of players split 10's so there is no worry about attracting attention

Yes, definately you split more often. Someone will have to run a sim to determine a proper index number for this play. I'm guessing it is at +2 (Hi-Low).

It really is sad that all casino's don't follow suit. They would make more $ along with the AP's.

I think you are right that the casinos would do better with this rule (pay for blackjack after splitting 10's). I see lots of average players making this play in this casino which I have seldom seen elsewhere.

I would be very interetested if someone can figure out indexes for dealer 5 and 6. I also suspect that this rule may make splittinga good move against a dealer 4 at an index number that will actually occur in practice

Where is this game at ?

Are you sure its not between the "A" and the "Z" Mr Geek

i'm curious. why are you....oh nevermind. i'll be nice. But to answer your question, yes, i'm sure.

Love,
