Most casinos in Costa Rica have no blackjack at all, claiming it is illegal. Instead, they offer a blackjack-based game called Rummy. You can find the rules on my Odds site.
What Is Rummy In BlackjackBefore you get your hopes up about all the good rules, especially early surrender, I think they don't offset the no 3-2. I'm going to start working on an analysis, but if there are any bored mathematicians on the forum, feel free join in the fun and we'll compare results.

So do they automatically pay a 21, 1:1 I assume, or do they wait until the round is over?

BlackjackNo. A 21-21 tie would be a push. Any winning 21 pays 1 to 1.

I just asked myself that as I start to work on this. Knowing how casinos usually interpret rules in their own favor, let's say the player gets only the highest bonus he is entitled to. I think this issue would come into play with a suited 7-7-7 only.

A side analysis would be to look at the bonuses only.
This table shows my analysis for a six-deck game, assuming the player always goes for the bonus.
Bonus Pays Combinations Probability Return
Three of a kind unsuited 3 23328 0.004653 0.013960
Straight flush 3 9504 0.001896 0.005687
Three of a kind suited 5 1040 0.000207 0.001037
7-7-7 unsuited 5 1944 0.000388 0.001939
6-7-8 suited 5 864 0.000172 0.000862
Total 36680 0.007317 0.023485

I'll obviously have to take into account that the player won't always go for the bonus.

Let me say that my rough estimate for now shows a house edge of right about 1%. I'd give it +/- 0.1%.

Offhand it looks like with no blackjacks there is no way to count the game.

I am confused by this rule variant : Unsuited 7-7-7 pays 3 to 1 bonus only.

What Is Rummy In Blackjack


If the general rule is: Unsuited Three of a kind pays 3 to 1 is the exception that only 7-7-7 pays 3 to 1 , and every other unsuited three of a kind pays nothing?

Other questions: If you double and make a rummy hand, do you get paid on both bets? (ie, Double down on 5-5 and get another 5, or double 5-6 get a 4 or 7 )
Can you double the A-10 to get a 3 card 21? If not, can you hit it for a 3 card 21?
My guess is no for all of the above.
