Why MG doesn't offer multiplayer games??

The piggybacker must split along with the seated player.He can choose not to double but he must split if the seated player wants to.

Just thought I'd point out that on another board a poster from England said "The rider can choose to play on one hand or both. As well as choose not to double down when the player does. Also if the player chooses to take even money on his BJ, the rider may decline, and play out the hand. Of course a BJ is the only hand that can be insured in the UK game."

Naturally I don't have a clue as to who's right - maybe both because it varies from casino to casino?

My only experience with it was in Canada and there was no other way to get a seat. So I watched a guy play perfect BS for 15 minutes and jumped in. He mis-played 3 of the next 4 hands and I lost every one! Guess this is one place when bad play DOES effect your hand.

This is not always true. In some countries (such as Macau) whoever has the most money on the spot plays the cards, regardless of who is sitting down.

Or at least, this is the way it used to be - I didn't pay much attention last month, being more interested in the design of the new Sands.

This is correct in England. I can also add that the piggybacker can choose which hand he plays when it's split. He has to do this before any cards are dealt, so it doesn't make much difference.
