Just finished up a ski trip to the Colo Rockies, and on the way back to Denver we stopped in one of the little towns just off I-70 where casinos are permitted. Only thing is the betting limit (until this summer) is limited to $5.
So, I walked into a old-west saloon-looking place and saw lots of slots, and they were actually dispensing coins, not tickets. I asked if there was any blackjack, and was pointed in that direction.
Once in the "table area," there were 2 tables - one for BJ and one for 3CP. One guy was sitting at the BJ table, just getting started. Rules were posted on the wall - S17, DAS, NS. 4 deck shoe, dealer cut off about 1/2 deck. Dealer asked if I wanted to play and I said I'd watch a bit first. After a few round count is +1, so I bought in and put out 2 x $5. Count kept climbing and I spread to 4 spots, thinking to myself, what a shame I can't increase my bet. After the shoe ended, I left the table up $35. One other thing, no rat-holing here. The "chips" were very heavy metal coins, similar in size to an old silver dollar.
