Blackjack
The casino must pay out for blackjack: a 2-card count of 21 (ace + 10 card). In many casinos, a blackjack pays 6:5 or even 1:1. Switching from 3:2 to 6:5 increases the house edge by 1.39%. Atlantic City house edge is 0.43% compared to 0.28% in liberal Vegas rules.

What the deck count changes
Single deck blackjack has a change in player return of +0.48%. Double deck shifts it to +0.19% across tables using from 1 to 8 decks. All other things equal, using fewer decks decreases the house edge.
Blackjack and bonus wagering
Blackjack games typically do not contribute 100% towards wagering requirements for bonuses.
Doubling down
Increase the initial bet by 100% and take exactly one more card. The best time to utilise doubling down is when your starting hand totals 11. There’s a strong chance your next card will be a 10, giving you 21.
Insurance
If the dealer shows an ace, an "insurance" bet is allowed. Insurance is a side bet that the dealer has a blackjack. The dealer has a blackjack less than one-third of the time. This costs half your original wager and refunds you if the dealer has blackjack.
