I observed someone playing blackjack on a multi-game slot machine. Noticed they got dealt a blackjack and saw that they got paid even money. Then I noticed there was no option to double down or split. They had to hit a pair of aces. The rules said that the dealer hits soft 17, it's 8 decks and it's shuffled every hand. Quite possibly the worst blackjack game I ever saw, which shouldn't even be called blackjack. They were betting a quarter a hand.
I would estimate a 10% house edge. This is outright robbery. One could lose less per hour playing at a full $25 table than at this one armed bandit.
