Need Blackjack info please!

Yes, its about five months since I was last in touch with Casinomeister. Its nice to know that some one has missed me. I have been looking around for an online Black Jack site and have tried a few using "play money" but I'm having some difficulty in finding exactly what I want. Whether I'm asking the impossible I don't know. Ideally I would like the following playing conditions -
a) Multi hand table b) 4 - 6 deck shoe c) European game (no hole card) d) Splitting upto three times except once only for aces e) Doubling after splitting but not for aces f) Doubling on any two cards including soft
doubling g) Original bet rule to operate when dealer makes BJ h) No surrender i) Partial doubling.
I would appreciate any suggestions please.
Best regards, Paul W

Since I'm not much of an online BJ player - I'll move this here for the masses to respond.

By the way, welcome back

Hi,

Could you elaborate, what do you mean with point i) "partial doubling"?

I have to say that it is pretty much impossible to find a blackjack online offering European rules otherwise but also doubling on any two cards, so I am afraid you have to give up some of your demands to find a version of your liking online. Also I don't remember seeing hidden hole card online even in the European variations. Usually European variations online just means that doubling is allowed on 9-11 only instead of any two cards.

Most of the large softwares offer European BJ, but you are now trying to find some mixed type of rule settings, which I am afraid are impossible to find atleast from large, reputable softwares/casinos.

You're asking for a lot. I don't think I know of a game that offers everything on your list, but William Hill Casino just launched most of what you need.
They've got a new Euro-BJ game with the following rules:

6 decks
no hole card
3 splits (4 hands)
Double any two cards (including after a split)

They don't have partial doubling or the original bet rule, but they do have autoplay that includes a really cool auto-betting feature that lets you tell the system to increase or decrease your bet following a win or loss. You're allowed to use the auto-betting with or without using the autoplay at the same time too.

The graphics are a huge upgrade over their other BJ games and the game even opens in a new window that you can resize. No one has made a perfect BJ game online yet, but this one is very, very good.

I don't think any of the common online softwares offer partial double down. You might find it in online tournament games. You'll also have trouble finding a no-hole card game, in which only the original bet is lost when the dealer makes a BJ. Instead, I'd recommend a hole card with peek game. The only effective difference from a European game with only original bet lost, is the order in which the cards are dealt. Once you make this change, you have relatively common rules, which are used at several online blackjack games, aside from partial doubling. For example, MG Vegas strip offers 4 decks, S17, Full Peek, Double on Any, DAS, and Resplit to 4 Hands.

I suggest basic strategy, pure and simple. You want rules u can split 8's. 4get all the bs. 4 shoe/6shoe, it doesnt really matter that much, automatic shuffle after each hand. you want to play live? then talk strategy. You can teach a monkey to play perfectly online. You want me to spam you a link to a site you can google?
