Blow smoke in people's faces root for the dealer to get 21 and the players to bust Split 5s and 10s Hit when you aren't supposed to and hope you take the "bust card" tell everyone how to play their hand stand with a pair of aces Double down a blackjack

It was at Ballys AC at one of those multiple game VP machines. I know not all video blackjack machines are that bad. There are some which are S17 DOA DAS 6D at $5 which shuffle every hand.
