Notes
- 6:5 payouts add ~1.4% to the house edge. Decline 6:5 games on principle — no other rule variant compensates.
- CSM eliminates the count, so for an AP it means the game is not playable, even if the per-hand edge is similar.
- See Blackjack — A Canadian Reference for context on which variants you'll find at Canadian properties.
