I went to a casino named majestic this weekend. it is supposedly the biggest one in Panama so i had some high expectations. In the beggining i was really disapointed. They had alot of bj tables but most of them that were open were majestic 21 which i figured would be some form of spanish 21 they had the usual bonuses on 7-7-7, 6-7-8 and 5,6,7- card 21:s. when I came they only had one table open with my 2 dollar table min. and they were cutting away 2 decks or more. I know that for a BS player it doesn't really matter, but for some reason that is still a minus to me. Well i decided to try it anyways but had no luck and left after one shoe since i didn't really feel good about the game.
I watched my gf play the slots for awhile then decided to go down and try to backcount or just watch the BJ tables.
while trying to backcount a tabel I sometimes glanced at the Majestic 21 table. I then noticed a rule on the table that said that insurrence on 10,J,Q or K paid 10 to 1.
I know is a loser bet unless you count but the thing that i found interesting was that it said 10 aswell. From what i have heard spanish 21 and its variations usually don't have any 10:s. i watched the game thinking it must be some kind of mistake. but i saw both 10,J,Q and K. They also payed the normal 3 to 2 on BJ. Confused i asked th dealer what the difference between this game and the normal bj games was. he then told me that the only difference was the special rules and that they used 4 decks instead of 6.
This ofcourse ment that even without the special rules this game was better than the normal BJ games.
besides the insurence on 10:s offer and the special pays on 7-7-7 and so on they also offered a -13+ bet. You couldn't double on 3 cards or surrender after double like you can in some spanish 21 games but still.
Aside frome these rules it was like normal BJ
4D,H17, DAS, no peek(but only lose originalbet on dealer BJ), early surrender except against dealer ace and you can resplit to 4 hands, even aces (although you can't hit them)I actually saw that happen twice. lucky bastards.
they were dealing to fast and i didn't have enough concentration to count the cards, but i was able to win some money playing bs.
Now what do you all think about this game? to me it seems like a really great game but I would like to know. also is there something beyond the usual that i need to do to adjust my BS?
