The differences I remember are:
No 10s at all in the decks. Face cards still are in play, but absolutely no regular 10s.
Anytime you hit 21, you are automatically paid before the dealer hits or checks cards. Natural blackjack still pays 3:2.
6,7,8 or 7,7,7 pays like a blackjack and instantly.
Any win with 5 or more cards pays 3:2.
You can hit split Aces.
You can double down at any point.
You can surrender after doubling down.
You can surrender BEFORE the dealer checks for blackjack.
Thats all the differences I can think of off hand. Any thoughts?
