The replay showed that the machine allowed a $20 insurance bet on a $20 bet, which is not allowed by the machine, only 1/2 of original bet. The fact that $20 registered on the insurance bet was what astonished everyone at the table. Even the tech couldn't explain it.

Concerning the Shuffle Master "Royal Match" machine, I was playing a month ago and the 3rd base player bought insurance on a $20 bet. But instead of $10 going up on the screen when the old man hit the insurance button, $20 went up... $20 for a $20 bet, something is wrong here. Everyone at the...

Or watch the movie "Heat" with Burt Reynolds... LMAO.

Just watch the blackjack scene in the Burt Reynolds movie "Heat" when Mr. Reynolds gets 10 9 against the dealer 10 up card. He then says to Cas, the dealer, who is his friend, "I got 19 Cas, you got a ten up card, but I know something, your downcard is a picture card. That means you got 20...

Figured I would post this possible senario in this thread 'luck', I'm thinking of walking in with $1000, placing it on 1 hand and go for 2 straight wins, netting $3000 profit. I've always thought of doing something like this but have never done it yet... anyone have any stories about these...

After reading the forums and recommendations from other members, I bought 2 books so far. Blackbelt in Blackjack Blackjack for Blood

Heat ( 1987 ) Burt Reynolds Great blackjack scene where Mr. Reynolds runs a $1000 bet up to $100,000, then loses it all. The best line has to be when the pit boss says to him after he puts up a $5 min. bet and the dealer gets blackjack... "hey... what is this.." And this was after he was...

Well, I was at MGM Grand at Foxwoods last week. Arrived with $700, left with $950. It was an enjoyable time. Flat bet at $10 most of the time, and the 1 $100 bet I threw up.. I got a blackjack! Boom.. 1st time that happened to me. And said to the guy next to me, what are the odds of that...

Deathclutch, You beat me to it. I discovered blackjack at taco bell today. Seems very similiar to their regular taco, only with a black, more crunchier shell. And they put a monterrey jack cheese in it. And the best part was I had no major downside. Only $0.90 max loss per blackjack and...

Losing my own money is one thing and it's tough sometimes after a serious loss and long drives home. But losing borrowed money is much worse I would think and something I will not put myself through. Also, I play with 100% disposable income, so if it's lost, it does not affect other parts...

sabre, I was not suggesting that the machines are rigged, just giving a report on scene and using this thread since it seems the most popular for RI Casinos / Slot parlors. Reguardless if it's live blackjack, or a machine, when stuff like that happens, I tend to walk away.

I lol'd at that line.

Played a bit at Twin River today, they have 10 blackjack tables currently. Most at $10, one at $25. $5 during the week. I left after I watched 3 Asian women play. The blackjack pit here heavlily Asian players, similiar to the CT casinos. They were doing well, betting $50 per hand, about $500...
