I cannot speak for Aruba, but Ive been around other caribbean islands. From what I've seen in other islands, the rules would make you laugh. 6 deck shoes or more. Cut card about half way through. One card to the dealer so no peaks, all monies doubled and split will lose to a dealer's natural...

phantom, Im guessing the pit was practicing a little bit of pride. Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered. 10 to 30 is not being a hog at all, in fact, to me it sounds like a very very long grind. Im sure its a bit difficult to stop a 30 dollar bettor at a table surrounded by entertainment...

Re: Short deck?... Short deck you say? Not short at all. 52 cards per deck guaranteed, though we may have replaced a couple aces with fives! Quite scarry to contemplate mucking with the deck, but Im against regulation. Its a false sense of security. It didnt much help enron holders. It...

ok. Ill do my best to answer any questions. Maybe a separate forum would be a better place for it. mayor? -lifesabet

zg, My work in the past has focused on systems programming. Always online, mostly sports, horses, and a taste of lottery. I tackled blackjack this year as a learning experience and to test a new platform. I thought blackjack was good because it is a skills game, and because the other products...

Let me qualify that. Actually, Im posting on behalf of my own opinions and nobody elses. If it seems that Im biased toward the house, that is a correct assumption. My opinions are based from my own experiences in the online gaming arena. My blackjack knowledge is so limited that I am not be...

Re: A few more... Its 110 degrees outside in the shade, but inside the pit its so cold you better get some alcohol in you if you dont want your teeth to chatter. "Would you like me to make that a DOUBLE?" The waitresses serving drinks are in thongs because they are comfortable and because we...

Hello all, I just wanted to explain the differences between right and wrong. When the dealer counts cards and uses preferential shuffling, THIS IS WRONG. When the player counts cards and wongs in and out, THIS IS RIGHT. When the dealer makes an error against the player, THIS IS WRONG. When...

Re: Mixed sentiments Im just too disgusted to say what I really think about these types of tactics. ...but I sent the mayor my nasty little message via email. no hard feelings. Lets see, BlackJack can be beat. Therefore, I want o A regulatory agency to protect my rights, same as all other...

Re: how many hands... OFTEN As Ive stated before, Im not a blackjack player, Im just trying to learn the game, and Im programming as well. Im pretty sure that a program could identify a card counter quickly. I dont quite understand how the mayor would identify someone within a few seconds...

Re: Hi 'lifesabet" I could go on for hours on the subject of special treatment for special players, but Ill save it for a more appropriate time. Suffice it to say, I plan on giving operators complete control to treat (and mistreat) a player however they choose, but I will not give them access...

Hello all, Ive been following this site off and on for a few months now, have emailed the mayor a few times, and now I think Ill be posting. I guess I need to state that there may be a hidden agenda and Ill do my best to avoid it or at least make it known. Im a programmer. My experience in the...
