Default Hoosier Park

wow !
Anderson, Indiana has a casino.

they offer "digital blackjack" with a live dealer. a hot chick to high five when you win. its like a blackjack table, only youre playing against the computer. its 6 deck, pen completely unknown and unavailable. I suspect its rigged.

I couldnt recommend it as a beatable game, but its the only game in town.

trip
-1 unit in 2 hours of play
-3 tips

watching the female dealers butt at the opposite table while she jumps up and down was the most entertaining part.

hopefully next review will be in socal.

It's not rigged. It's probably just a bad game.

I was playing the Digi Deals at Hoosier Park, I say was because I suspect they are manipulating the odds, Used to be able to do very well there up until about a month ago they installed 4 more new tables and about the same time reduced the max to 290.00 from 450.00 took away re splitting and doubling splits and it seemed to become very hard to make any money let alone not lose.

Does anyone know the Indiana Gaming rules on this type of table can they adjust the win percentages ? I quit playing there and I noticed none of the other regulars have been playing anymore either so I don't think it is just me or my play has not gotten worse anyone else notice this ?

I don't understand why someone would waste their time playing machines at a horse track when Gary and real blackjack can't be that far of a drive. Even go down south to Argosy, Grand Vic, Belterra. A hour or two drive to play with real cards at a boat would beat computerized blackjack at a track (do they even have a comp system?)

PS> When the 'real' blackjack games change the rules for the worse, you will find it is harder to 'win'. Also, because of the house edge, regulars regularly don't come around anymore - they either get tired of continually losing, or can't afford to play anymore. It has nothing to do with the game being rigged.

PLEASE let me know if they open up a poker room.

No poker room yet.....I hear live dealers will be coming in the future and poker too, I was just wondering how I could go from winning almost every time I was there to losing almost every time I go.
Was told they dealt an honest 6 deck.

Does the state regulate these machines or not are the odds adjustable ect
it seems like they have changed the win percentage I would just like to know if it is possible.

Yes they do have a comp program too, but that is another story..lol

I've gone from winning almost all the time to losing session after session in real life BJ. Doesn't mean the casinos are cheating.

That's just the nature of blackjack. As for changing the rules, that's shitty, but it is perfectly ligit, unfortunately.

this game would be super easy to manipulate by mgt. like adding 5's and 6's to the deck, removing aces etc. has anyone given you a straight answer about pen?
the hot gals bouncing up and down, is half the fun.

I was close by to attend a funeral, and no time to venture out.

what exactly is it like playing bj in Gary? that has to be scarier than the western, or playing with the kentuckians on the ohio river joints.

I agree with the poker room. keep us posted

It would be just as easy to manipulate a VP machine, and you don't see widespread allegations of those machines cheating the player.

They're not cheating, accept it.

what makes you qualified to make a statement like that?
I dont know that they are cheating as much as you know they are not.
