Single Deck BossMedia Blackjack @ FreeBlackjackTips.com

Kudos to Boss Media for offering a game with a player advantage, although not all Boss casinos opt to offer it. The single-deck blackjack game has the same rules as the six-deck except only one deck is used. Also, only one hand may be played at a time. This game has a player edge of 0.11%. To add 0.03% to the player edge follow my basic strategy exceptions. Following is the basic strategy for the single-deck game. Separate basic strategy charts according to the number of cards in the player's hand are availabe in my Boss Media appendix 1.

I'm often asked which Boss Media casinos have the single deck game. Here are some that I know of, provided to me by Boss Media.

Casino-Club
Pharaoh's Casino
Player's Club Casino

Some have mentioned to me that Atlantic Casino has a single deck game. However as I understand in this game the dealer hits a soft 17 and doubling is only allowed on 9 to 11, which results in a house edge of 0.23%.
