Back in the 70's
Besides Walker Hill offering a great game over 30 years ago there was a strange group of private clubs. Not familar with the law, it appeared that several retired U.S. soldiers, who were living in Korea, opened both VFW and American Legion clubs that offered blackjack games. Most of their customers were either GIs or American civilians attached to the military(Korean nationals were not permitted to play). Some of those games were less than honest and some of them were fantastic but I always wondered how much could be extracted without problems because they were probably poorly financed and there was no one to complain to if they did not pay you.
The fact that I was once beaten and robbed in the back parking lot at Walker Hill and one of my assailants was an employee there, helped make me a bit paranoid about these places being they were not resorts or hotels, just a club perhaps upstairs above different types of shops.
But one of them dealt a 4 deck game and cut just enough cards so that they could finish the last hand.
I later got to know one of the owners of one of these clubs. He was a retired army Master Sargent, who had been running the NCO club system before retirement. He landed up getting into some trouble with the local law because, like just about all club owners in that day, he had purchased his booze off the black market, and had an appointment with the province prosecutor (like a state's attorney general over here) and knew that I knew him. He wanted to know how to bribe him. I would not help him.
Wondering if these kind of clubs and games still exist over there.
