Super Fun or Single 21

This game is found at Sheraton in Tunica and at Harrahs in LV and Sams at both. Game sounds good except =$BJ rule.

- Double down anytime, even after splitting and hitting (including Aces)
- Splitting, including Aces, up to three times
- Surrender anytime, even after hitting, splitting or doubling
- Even $ with 6 cards =<20 except on double downs
- Pays 2 to 1 on 21 with => 5 cards except on double downs
- BJ pays even $ except diamonds pays 2 to 1
- SD H17 Rule of 6

Does the player have any advantages in this game if using Hi-Lo.
Do the positives outweigh the even money BJ rule.
What kind of spread would you recommend?
This basic question was posted on another forum but got no answer.

Don't play this game. It is nigh onto impossible to overcome the even-money blackjack payoff. Remember, the 3:2 payoff on naturals is what makes blackjack a beatable game in the first place.

A well known, published source reports that the house edge on a SF 21-type game, SD, H17 is 1.20.

Contrast this with SD H17 at normal blackjack, house edge 0.15.

Makes SF 21 look like a ripoff: always listen to the Bootlegger.

The house edge at Superfun 21 is a huge .94% off the top IF you know Superfun strategy, which is different than "normal" blackjack. If you don't know the strategy, the house edge is even worse.

Superfun is beatable with a specialized strategy, a large spread, aggressive playing style and certain, ideal playing conditions. All four factors must be present.

The game is not recommended for other than full-time Las Vegas-based players, because you'll have to spend more time scouting for the exact conditions needed than a part-timer, or visitor, is able to spend.
