Alberta Blackjack Rules
Alberta Blackjack Rules For Real
In Alberta, we have a rule where the dealer does not get a hole card. If the dealer has a blackjack, the player loses the original bet only. As such, the dealer does not collect any doubles / splits if they have a blackjack.

Im new to card counting. (And Canadian)
Canada has some interesting rules for Blackjack, they always hit 17, DAS is allowed, and you can early surrender (they don't take a hole card) except vs. Ace.
Also I believe if you double or split vs a blackjack you only lose the original bet. I'm not sure though, Ive only played at a Casino once a week ago and never did either.
After I lost my money, I knew I could do so much better, since I've always been good at math and memory (have 500 digits of pi memorized) so I memorized the full basic strategy in about an hour on my way back to college.
I think I figured out the best plays for Canadian Blackjack, but i just want to make sure/also share it to fellow Canadians. Here's what I've got. The only thing I'm not so sure about is whether I should split Aces and Eights against a dealer Ace, or just hit:
Hard:
5-8 - Hit
9 - Double vs 3-6, otherwise hit
10 - Double vs 2-9, otherwise hit
11 - Double
12 - Stay vs 4-6, otherwise hit
13 - Stay vs 2-6, otherwise hit
14-15 -Stay vs 2-6, hit vs 7-9, A, surrender vs 10
16 -Stay vs 2-6, hit vs 7, 8, A, surender vs 9, 10
17+ - Stay
Soft:
(A+)
2-3 - Double vs 5, 6, otherwise hit
4-5 - Double vs 4-6, otherwise hit
6 - Double vs 3-6, otherwise hit
7 - Double vs 2-6, stay vs 7, 8, otherwise hit
8 - Double vs 6, otherwise hit
9/10 - Stay
Pairs:
2's/3's- Split vs 2-7, otherwise hit
4's - Split vs 5, 6, otherwise hit
5's - Double vs 2-9, otherwise hit
6's - Split vs 2-6, otherwise hit
7's - Split vs 2-7, hit vs 8, 9, A, surrender vs 10
8's - Surrender vs 10, otherwise split
9's - Stand vs 7, 10, A, otherwise split
10's - Stand
A's - Split
Please let me know. I would also need help with indexes based on this strategy/rules, but that would be after I make sure this is the right strategy (1 thing at a time!)
Thanks so much

- A natural Blackjack takes precedence over a three or more card 21. Surrender is offered at all tables. Only Copper Coulee Casino chips may be used to wager. When splitting aces, only one card will be delivered per ace. Two cards constitute a hand. Maximum split of 3 times to create four hands.
- Rules in Calgary, Canada? I'm traveling to Calgary soon and am wondering about the blackjack conditions there. Would appreciate any insight into rules/pen/heat for Elbow River, Grey Eagle, Pure, Cowboys, Deerfoot Inn, Century or Cash casinos.
