Well, it's in a really remote area. It would be quite hard for enough people to make that trip and wipe this game out. I'm sorry though, I didn't know about the "don't tell" rule.

have survived for awhile. Even with a small basic strategy edge off the top, the casino will still make money off the ploppies.

Are you insane? With the posted payoff, everyone except for the drunkest, most extremely ignorant ploppies is playing with a huge edge. You have to double hard 12s and stand on hard 6s before you start erasing the edge from a 5:2 BJ payoff.

If the promo is as advertised, then it was going to disappear quickly regardless of the presence of APs, because the casino hold was going to disappear.

I stand corrected. I misread the rules. 'Nuff said.

Although, if the casino bosses aren't entirely stupid, they might have calculated their expected losses for the promotion, based on the usual number of locals betting not much more than their usual amount. If a few outsiders take up residence at the tables and flat-bet the max, the funds are likely to drain away a lot faster (bearing in mind there are just two tables).

I would imagine that getting there would be extremely hard. Northern Manitoba at this time of the year is not exactly weather friendly. I'm guessing this place is near Churchill?

I just got news from my buddy in the area, basically letting me know I made a mistake. Enough people on this forum went and destroyed that game. I hope it was as effective for everyone as I thought it was going to be when I made the trip!

I doubt it; this promo was obvious enough that any ploppy would take advantage of it. The casino realized their error and pulled the plug.
