Overall this gives better chances to the player. On the other side most players seem to completely throw away the advantage by doubling on 8 against 6 and other silly hits etc.

House edge under old rules: 0.57016% (6 decks)

Houge edge under new rules: 0.47406%

Good news


I wish they had rule #1 in the USA!!! I wonder why they changed it The only reason I could see to split 4/5/10's is if you're in a tournament
