I wanted to ask about the math behind Westin Casuarina's new member signup promotion. They match slot losses up to $50 within 24 hours of your joining their player's club. The match is via freeplay, and there is no limitation for the match play up to $50. You can always go to their desk and...

I just saw a brand new variation, double-barrel blackjack, at a WA indian casino. I think this just passed the gaming commission. Here are the rules etc: (Dead link: http://www.wsgc.wa.gov/docs/game_rules/double_barrel_blackjack.pdf) I couldn't find any other info on the web, so no idea...

Hi, I'll be heading to Vegas for an extended 4th of July weekend, and wanted to check if you know of any blackjack promotions on or near the strip. I don't necessarily mean matchplay, but more like extra pay for suited blackjack, six-card bust is a winner, first card every hour is an Ace and...

Here’s an interesting case that happened during my Vegas trip. I have a total of 10 and the dealer has a 6 showing. Of course, I already have my red chip in my hand, ready to double. The guy just before me has a 15 and he obviously waves for a stand. Dealer (seemingly very tired and towards...

I just came back from my Memorial-day weekend Vegas trip and wanted to comment on BJ conditions at various places that I played at. Since I’m a BS player, my comments will mainly be helpful for the BS players, but counters might find some of the information (shuffling conditions, minimums etc.)...

There was a casino that I like to play BS blackjack due to their friendly minimums ($3). They just started a promo as follows: Receive double times (2X) your wager for suited Blackjacks and receive triple times (3X) your wager for Royal Blackjack in posted suit. Their normal rules are 6D...

Basic strategy engine does not have an easy way to figure out some of the soft hands against small cards. For example, yesterday I got an A3 against a 3. It's a 6D H17 game, so I hit it to get another 3. Now I have A3-3 against a 3, which I cannot double. I look at the basic strategy chart...

I've been reading a lot about holecarding during the last week, and wanted to go and see if I can really experience it at a casino. Went to an NA casino, and sat down at a DD pitch game. First and second dealers passed by with no flashing the hole card. I was just playing my BS game and...

I'm playing at a casino, where minimum table is $5, and they have $1 and $2.50 chips. This casino has no half dollar or quarter coins. I almost always play $5/hand, but sometimes after a blackjack payout, I put that $2.50 chip on top of my $5, for a $7.50 bet. While doing this, I never...

Hi, I've been checking out these forums for a while, but, I started playing blackjack in a casino just about 2 weeks ago. I find counting very interesting, but right now I'm playing BJ for fun and with almost perfect basic strategy (about 1-2 misses in 500 hands in my trainer sessions)...
