InterCasino

Great news, I just heard that InterCasino is increasing its monthly bonus from $90 to $100. Does this mean they are now "rigging" their blackjack games...stay tuned to find out.

P.S. This message is not only intended for the benefit of LeonShuffle but for all the members of the forum

Yes, I've already collected my first $100 bonus from Intercasino (plus a $70 win to go along with it).

And E-town, no hard feelings. You were not rude toward me and I do not believe I was rude toward you. Those two posts of yours were obviously directed at me, however, since you quoted me directly before one and used the words "your" and "yourself" to refer to me in the other. I just honestly didn't think that you read and/or understood my posts which immediately proceeded yours.

Intercasino is definitely one where you need to have a bigger bankroll for playing blackjack than at other casinos. At least in my experience. Not to say they are "rigged" but they do play "different". Lots of one wins sandwiched between blocks of losses and pushes.

You are supposed to give a benefit of a doubt to ALL posters, man! I am of different opinion than yours so let the reader determine for him or herself what he/she wants to believe. I don't pull my opinions out of thin air! It is based on my experience and those of others. You could have said "Well, it's my opinion that the online games are totally random" but instead you make the above comment degenerating my opinion and observations. I've seen the other recent threads and decided to stay out of them. I decided on this one to put in my 2 cents (or euros or pounds) about what I observed at Intercasino. The word "different" is not the same as "rigged" in my comment above. The pattern of outcomes (wins/losses/pushes) is different at Intercasino than at other online casinos I've played.

I've pretty much steered clear of on line casinos. From the "practice" games I've played on-line (with the exception of those such as the simulator on this site's front page) I have to rank those on line that I've played right there with the BlackJack Video games found in some casinos. The play of the cards does seem very different to me. But, I attribute that to the random selection of each card which is quite unlike any game I play at tables. I haven't played CSMs for that same reason.

It seems that after you've played for a while, you can sometimes gain some sort of expectation as to how cards are going to fall from a shuffled deck at a table just from observation. You can't do that with constant shuffle software and machines. The fact that 43 face cards have been dealt in a row lessens in no way the probability that another face is going to be dealt on the next card when playing on line games and CSMs.

Could it be this factor that you are experiencing?

I think you are right Mikeaber and its quite likely that an online casino, or CSM for that matter, is more random then a regularly shuffled shoe. In a shoe game you can go through periods where you get a lot of low cards and then a lot of high cards, a proportion, which when looked at in small pieces would not fit the predetermined odds of each card due to a flucuating count. Online however there is no count and flucuation. Each hand is just as likely as it was the last hand.
