Not all Boss casinos offer the single-deck variation. It is to the player’s best interest, though, to try and find one or more that does offer it. Some Boss casinos will adjust the player’s betting limits for this game; for example, in one Boss casino, a player can only wager between $5 and $50 if they are playing the single-deck version.
Also, some Boss casinos will change other blackjack rules in the single-deck version, such as when a player can double or when the dealer stands on 17. These changes, though still played with a single deck, bumps the house advantage back in favor of the house. |
