Vegas Strip Blackjack Rules
The Strip standard: 6-deck shoe, dealer stands on soft 17, double after split allowed, and late surrender available at most tables — one of the friendliest widely-offered rule combinations to a basic-strategy player.
Why this rule set matters
Late surrender is the rule most players skip, and it's worth roughly 0.08 percentage points on its own here — free equity for hands like a hard 16 against a dealer 9, 10, or Ace, where the math says give up half your bet rather than play the hand out.
How the 0.38% is calculated
Starts from a 6-deck, S17, DAS, no-surrender, 3:2 baseline (≈0.46%) and adds the published effect of every rule above that differs from it — deck count, dealer soft-17 behavior, double after split, surrender, payout ratio. Same engine as the house edge calculator, so toggling any of these rules there reproduces this number exactly.
