The Man Who Broke Atlantic City
The negotiation on the rules of the game is key. For example the difference between a 'soft 17' and a 'hard 17' is worth a few percentage points, and those points are valuable.

No it's not. Soft 17 is worth approx. 0.25% on the house edge. Even in Vegas, it's not hard to find 0.50% edge blackjack, even at low stakes.

I've literally never been in a casino where a dealer can hit anything soft, or where a player can't. Admitedly I've never been in a US casino.

The difference between dealer play on soft 17s is worth a few 10ths of a percentage point, not a few percentage points.
