So what's this about some online casinos have a scaled playthrough requirement, depending on the game you're playing?

"You have a period of time (often 1 hour) to play a limited selection of games in a flash-like version of the casino. " I see that they often limit the types of games you can play during this hour. What kind of Blackjack variations do they typically offer? (Curious, so that I can brush up on...

Interesting strategy. Keep posting on it. And as you have my attention, I'm realizing that 260 cards would, of course, be about 5 dealer reloads.

Good point.

I didn't say it was MY bankroll. :rolleyes: Still waiting to hear the argument as in discussion.

FYI if you go again to Vancouver, Fraser Downs is very friendly, not a lot of heat from the pits and does $5 and up. Nice atmosphere. Small, but tables usually have room.

It's working so far. Your rational?
