I recently opened a small poker room and casino in South America. In the entire place we have just 4 Poker Tables, 2 BJ and 1 Roulette Wheel. My specialty is poker and that is really the concentration of the Casino. That being said, we still need to make money on our table games.
Unfortunately, for our first two months, the traffic has been ok, but very short of where we want it to be for the table games. There is a much, much larger competitor less than two blocks away who I am thinking we are going to have a hard time competing against if we are offering the exact same games. This specific competitor offers just standard BJ. Spanish is the only variation I know that is offered in the entire city.
Therefore, I am thinking of changing at least 1 of the 2 BJ tables to some different variation, maybe something similar to Double Attack. The game is appealing to me in that the changes from BJ are not very complicated for the player. I will say the low house EV scares me a bit though.
However, as you guys have a ton of experience in BJ, I am very interested to hear what you think. What would you do in my situation? Would you change the actual game or just run promotions for standard BJ? If so what games or promotions? If you have any additional questions for me, I will try to answer them the best I can.
Thanks,
Oscar
