There must have been more to it - as described it would be a very profitable bet for the players. zg

Just got back from a 3 day Reno trip on 1-24. Played downtown the entire time. Saw nothing like that sign anywhere. Best games I found were Sands(though not as good as last year) and Peppermill.

jwchef said that it paid 25-1! These bets usually only pay 15-1 or 18-1 - at 25-1 its a great bet. The other problem with these bets is they are limited to $1, hardly worth the effort. zg

There are similar bets all over Laughlin. A dealer told me that Don Laughlin himself invented this side bet.But there it is only about 10-1 and if you bet both you and the dealer,you hit a progressive that starts at about $60 and moves higher.

Shad, the odds of you hitting a BJ in a SD are 20.7:1 and with a combined BJ with the dealer are 435:1. No way, Jose!
