If
the player loses the entire wager on splits or
doubling against a natural, this game is called
"European No Hole." With this game,
if the dealer gets a natural blackjack, a player
who has split or doubled down loses not only his
or her original bet but also all additional wagers.
The name of this rule derives from the many games
in Europe that are played with this rule in effect.
I've never seen this thievery in the States, nor
know of it at any of the Canadian casinos, but
if you ever happen upon one, I'd recommend you
exit stage left.
