I've seen this game and I'm pretty sure it was called single fun 21 and blackjacks paid even money, except for suited ones. I also seem to remember penetration being only r4 or r5.

The Fitz or Goldstrike both have decent rooms. I like the Fitz better because it seemed to be a little quieter. I use to play pretty much only at the Fitz dd game but things have changed a lot in the last few months. The rules at Fitz on pretty much all the games is hit 17,da,split up to four...

Just wondering if you could tell me what the minimums usually are during the week at the IP, Isle and Beau on the DD games. Also, did the Treasure Island use to be the Copa? Thanks.

I think about the best double deck game is going to be at Goldstrike. They use a slot in the discard tray to put the cut card in. Usually at about 62-65 cards dealt, ten dollar minimums during the week, maybe higher on the weekend. There are also a couple of single deck games paying 3 to 2...

Virtual blackjack I saw four of these in Harrahs when I walked around the casino about two weeks ago. Just looked at them but did not play. Not sure what the rules were. I think they had a five dollar minimum bet though and they were located around a bar some what in the middle of the casino.

k o starting point I start my count at sixteen. At twenty one I raise my bet and so on up to twenty four when you would reach the pivot point. Insurance would be twenty three. Starting at sixteen should allow you to avoid negative numbers easily. If you play any of the index plays just move...

Tunica I rarely play in any of the places you mentioned. I usually spread 1-20 in some of the other places on double deck games with red chips and haven't had any trouble yet. Most games in Tunica are pitch, with all I've seen being hit hard 17. Seems like most of the shoe games have 8 decks.

I was there several years ago and asked a pit boss how many decks there were. He told me it was six decks and the cut card was at exactly three decks every shoe. It would be hard to count with any other players playing though because it was hard to see others screens. Not really worth it anyway.

Wendover I'm kind of interested in Wendover also. They've got a flight going out of Little Rock for three nights for $99 per person round trip. Pretty good deal it seems like to me. I've heard its mostly all single deck. Not sure about number rounds.

Books Try Blackjack Autumn by Barry Meadows.

Alconbury Thanks for the info. F4,F5s and the TR1 use to fly out from there. I had heard that Alconbury had closed along with most of the other American bases. Charlie Chesters was a tiny place but I always liked it. Thanks

Picadilly casinos In the early eighties I was stationed at RAF Alconbury and played at a couple of casinos near Picadilly Circus. Was wondering if either were still in operation? They were the Golden Nugget and Charlie Chesters. Just curious. Thanks.

Just returned from Tunica this past Tuesday and it was actually pretty busy in the casino where I mostly play. A pit boss told me that this time of year was usually busy because of people using rapid tax refunds.

I thought the book Blackjack Autumn by Barry Meadows was pretty good and funny also.
