It's down to the fact that if you 'push' with a Free Bet then you don't end up with anything so you have to win the hand to actually get paid.
'Soft 18' verses a dealer 8 makes sense to me as a 'push' is no good to the player so a 'hit' is needed.
I don't know the exact math' but I guess that 'soft 18' gives you more overall wins if you hit verses a 2-6 rather than stand. I'm sure that it increases the losses as well but overall you will get paid out more often on your 'Free Bet'.
For example, if you have 'soft 18' verses a dealer 8 and you 'stand' then you may:-
Win 20%
Push 50%
Lose 30%
(I've totally guessed these numbers but I'm hoping it will clarify my reasoning :-) ).
Free Bet Blackjack Odds
If you 'Hit' then you may:-Win 30%
Push 20%
Lose 50%
For the 'Free Bet' then the Win% is your measure of return. So, although you lose more hands by hitting, you actually make more money on the 'Free Bet' as your win rate increases.
Hope this helps.

Finally got to play this game at Mirage this past weekend! It was about 2:30am in my last night in Vegas, and I was surprised the table was still open. Dealer was knowledgeable and would help explain the game if people that were confused walked by and asked. He couldn't convince everyone to play though. :( I ran a little hot, and got about 8 free doubles in maybe 15 minutes. I only won about half of them, but they helped me quit $40 (4 units) ahead as he failed to get a single 22. Once I was about ready to leave some drunk Australian chicks played for a bit. If I was single, I definitely would have kept playing a bit longer..lol Also when I briefly stopped in at Casino Royale during my trip, the game also looked quite busy.
I'll definitely try to make time again to play this next trip! It's a very good game Geoff!

Thanks for the report tringlomane and I'm really pleased to hear about the dealer at The Mirage as that's an integral part to helping anew game gain exposure.
The lack of a dealer 22 would have greatly helped your win rate as you were basically playing a game with free splits and doubles. The 4 unit win you had shows the difference as you stated that you had about 8 doubles and won half of them. In the regular game, your losing 4 doubles would have had you leaving the table level rather than being up 4 units.

Yeah, that's what I did and I had it on the table. It was no problem, and helped me hit a 13 vs. a 2 at one point..haha But note some of the recent posts in this thread for some adjustments. The game got rid of doubling on more than two cards at Mirage and Casino Royale (not sure about GN), but the WOO strategy isn't updated for that. So if you have a soft 18 with 3 or more cards you should hit if it is your free hand except vs. a dealer 7. If that's your real money hand, then you would stand for 7 or less as normal. You have to be more aggressive with a free hand since a push is just as bad as a loss.
And Geoff, did the math report from Stephen tell you the Standard Deviation of the Golden Nugget game (and/or other versions)? I would be interested to know the change in comparison to regular blackjack.

tringlomane, is that a typo'? Did you mean not allow 'doubling on more than 2 cards' or are you saying that The Mirage won't allow you to double (with your own chips) on 2-card soft totals?
I didn't get a figure for the Standard Deviation of the game. My guess is that it would be lower as you can generally only lose 1 bet at a time. I'll see if I can get hold of the figure when I'm in Vegas next month.

Oops..I meant you can only double on your first two cards as in most games of blackjack. Doubling with 3 or more cards is not allowed. Fixed that post.

Hoping someone can help.
The casino I play at has been using a promotional scheme to generate interest in Blackjack.
Any bets $5 and under require you to pay an additional 0.25c. They only take the additional 0.25c when the bet loses. Also the bet will pay even money if a Blackjack comes up.
Now I also have a good friend who works at the same casino and he was thinking of running the promotion with a slight variation.
Any bets $5 and under require you to pay a 0.25c commisiion regardless if it wins or loses. Also Black will still pay 3-2.
How does he work out which one has better odds for the house?
Needless to say regular BJ is still the was to go.
Any help would be appreciated.

Considering the fact that natural blackjacks appear on average once every 20 hands dealt, i will do some very rudimentary (and probably wrong) math.
at the $5 bet level, the player can expect to win an extra $2.50 once every 20 hands of play, but will lose $.25 on every hand guaranteed, for an Expected Value of -$2.50 not counting the EV of the blackjack game itself.
At the $5 bet level with the player forfeiting $.25 for a loss but only receiving even money for the blackjack, over that same 20 hand period, we will assume that the player uses proper basic strategy and wins and loses an equal number of hands, leaving an expected value again of $-2.50 again not counting the EV of the game itself.
The second game may experience wilder swings but wins are not penalized with a 5% commission. I believe the two are comparable at the $5 bet level, but as the bet size increases, your second example and the first one I posted here becomes better as the $.25 becomes a diminishing % of the total bet. Obviously the lower the bet size, the higher the house edge and with a 3:2 game at the $1 level with $.25 forfeited per hand, you have better odds playing the penny slots.
My take, avoid both of these and just play a 3:2 game.

That is not a promotion, but a ripoff. Such a game will only attract players with tiny bankrolls, and since you're skinning rather than fleecing them, their stack takes too sharp a dive to keep them playing for long. A promotion would be offering $1-$5 blackjack without commission and with blackjack paying 2:1 on the first $1 only. I.e., potentially taking a small loss to let new players win, get them hooked, and then going to proper tables with more meaningful limits.
