What does the Reno rule connote?

[Julio88]

The "Reno Rule" in blackjack is a variation of the game that is often used in casinos in the Reno, Nevada area. This rule differs from the more common Las Vegas rules in that the dealer receives only one card face-up at the beginning of the game, rather than two. In addition, the rule allows the player to double down on their first two cards, even after a split. This can be advantageous to the player, as they can potentially win more money on the double downs. However, the downside of the Reno rule is that the dealer wins all ties, including those resulting from a player's doubled hand and the dealer's larger total which cancels out the 0.09 percent opportunity given to the player so double-check the game before playing.

The Reno rule in blackjack is a variation on traditional blackjack rules. The rule affects the dealer's play, and in particular, it specifies that the dealer must deal another card to themselves if they are holding a "soft 17", whereas in traditional blackjack, the dealer would stand on a soft 17.
