    New Casino in Adelaide?

    Its not a new casino Koz - its merely the relocation of an existing casino. Currently for people who reside in Adelaide, the casino is located in an old train station - however the government and its cohort are thinking about relocation the casino to a more suitable place hopefully to boost its...

    We are thinking about flying to Tasmania...

    Of course you will stand out - forget it mate. You will be recognised after 2 full sessions or maybe less. Even though heat is less compared to some of the other overseas casino, I would rather you forget about it. Its a very small casino - I mean Tasmanian casinos are very small. I mean...

    We are thinking about flying to Tasmania...

    Tasmania has two casinos - one in Hobart (Wrest Point) which is very very old and the other is in Launceston (called Launceston Country Club) - You would rather forget about Tasmania mate. Their casinos together are less than 1/8th of Crown Casino and as far as I know Hobart only has 5 to 6...

    For Your Consideration

    Depends on State Govt Koz Yes, it all depends how hungry is the the Labour Govt of Brumby is in terms of its finances. You see all Australian casinos are heavily influenced by the government and whilst the government has to state that its casinos does not encourage problem gambling, this...

    For Your Consideration

    Monopoly is the word Yes Australian casinos are based on monopolies. There is only one casino per 500km and sometimes one casino per state. Imagine if there is only three casinos in the state of California. I know California casinos dont offer proper BJ by law with the exception of Indian-based...

    Our New Team. Profitable?

    Yes you are right Charles - there is no heat at the moment because the house edge is pretty high - H17 8 deck games with no surrender option. Most supervisors dont know how to count using Hi-Lo - they are there to make sure that cash in excess of $ 500 are under their supervision...

    The Cut Card Effect

    Why is that APs think that DD games with 65% penetration is an exploitable game whereas with six or eight deck shoe games, at least 83% penetration with S 17 is exploitable. I think with pitch games, the number of players sitting and playing on the table will determine how many rounds are...

    Stolen Money

    Why dont you ask the casino to store the money away in a safe? Most casinos would do this provided that there is a resort as well as a casino? Casinos wouldnt steal your money but they might be a small fee associated with them keeping your money or your chips? Its much more safer this way.

    You're a farce, Crown casino

    Hi all Just wanted to let you know that Tabcorp-owned casinos have CSMs on the main floor. Tabcorp-owned casinos are S17 compared to Crown which has H17. Crown has H17 8 deck shoe games on the main floor but doubling is restricted to 9,10 and 11 ONLY - there is no soft doubling and no...

    The horizontal spread

    Renzey, Yes you are correct in stating that the dealer's average number of card will increase as the number of player increases as more hands are played per round. The dealer will only deal his hands provided that the player doesnt bust. With one player playing head on with the dealer, the...

    fml - first back off

    Unit bet and Bankroll Meistro, Just curious as to what your unit bet was? And what bankroll did you have? To win a large sum of money, you must have been lucky unless you are capitalized with a large bankroll.

    Single Deck (Barona)

    Flash, So is it true that at Indian sovereign casinos, they can detain you indefinitely if they perceive you to be an advantage player. So are Indian tribes in Indian land above the law (like if a tribe sanction violence act towards another tribe member, the state police wont have any say in...

    Which Wong index do I use?

    Wonging is powerful tool - the illustrious 18 will capture at least 95% of the gains through its use. However if the count is too negative, you dont have to play all. Wonging allows you to play at positive counts where you are playing with an advantage provided that the HE doesn't exceed...

    Not good news, mate

    Charles Wells, Do you think a 1-10 spread can beat a H17 8 deck game with no late surrender? I thought a more larger spread was required like 1-20 spread to overcome the HE. You might have had a positive result for that session but can your results be sustainable and consistent in the long...

    Not good news, mate

    Charles, The Monte Carlo room and the Teak Rooms are VIP-oriented areas but the difference between the two is that Monte Carlo room is accessible to the public. Yes, you can double on any first two cards but on the main floor, doubling is restricted to 9,10 and 11 only. My understanding is...
