Default San Jose, Costa Rica

BJ is not lawful in Costa Rica, unless things have changed in the past couple of years.

They deal low stakes "Rommy" or "Rummy" which is identical to our Spanish 21


This is how Spanish 21 got its Spanish name.

My post of Nov.12th was incorrect.

BJ is not lawful in Costa Rica, unless things have changed in the past couple of years.

They deal low stakes "Rommy" or "Rummy" which is NOT identical to our Spanish 21 as I had said.

I have an outline of the rules, but it is not a game that you can easily beat.

P.M. me if you want them.

In case anyone didn't notice, this thread is over 3 years old.

I was there recently (4 years ago :-)

and although most of the games were indeed rummy, I did see a couple of real blackjack games.

Indeed, when I was there I found one casino that was willing to deal BJ )upon request), if the stakes were high enough.

They would deal $25 to $200 and the penetration would be about 70%. They tried to not show the dealer's face down card whenever the player busted.

Not worth the trouble.
