Do you love the thrill of blackjack? Does the sound of chips hitting the table get your adrenaline pumping? This innovative game combines real dealers and casino chips with state of the art video displays and digital cards to deliver the ultimate in Blackjack action, all in a table games atmosphere. Play Live Digital Blackjack - only at Harrah´s.

The above was copied from Harrah's Cherokee website.

Has anyone played this? Does anyone have any thoughts on it?
I'd like to try it but it seems like this could be rigged to give the house a bigger advantage like maybe not being truly random cards like you'd get with real cards. I don't play online for the same suspicions.

I live in Georgia and there are no real casinos close. Cherokee would be the closest, but what do y'all think?

Rigged???

This ad sounds no different than others. I do not play online as I live close to many Indian casinos in San Diego. I have alway been reluctant to play any casino game online. Who regulates them??? The only example I can site is when my wife signed up to play slots. Before she submitted her credit card, she won $22,000 playing for fun. She gave them $500 on her credit card and proceeded to lose it within 2hrs. Some how, the probability of winning changed, when the real $$$ was played.

ZMan' I play there 2 or 3 time a week,they have $15 and $25 dollar tables.
The rules are pretty good.A lot of people from Georgia play there. You win some and you lose some, like anywhere else.

The Stratosphere,in Vegas, had something similar I believe a few years ago. Although it was crowded the few times I was in the place,it didn't last very long.
If I recall correctly,you could only double on 9-11 and only split 5s,8s, and As.
I'd guess it attracted mostly beginners who were reluctant to sit at a table due to lack of knowledge.

To clarify a little more, this is NOT an online game. This is a machine inside a casino on an Indian Reservation in Cherokee, NC.

The rules actually sound decent. I wish they had $5 tables though.

From what I've read, this machine/dealer combo is a compromise. They are not allowed to have a live person deal the cards. So, the machine deals the cards electronically and the 'dealer' pays/collects bets with real chips. Thus, you do have interaction with a person.

My biggest concern is if the cards are really random or is it set to give a player more crappy hands and the dealer better hands than normal.

Thanks for your reply though. I would like to try it out. At $15 minimum, I could get wiped out pretty quick though. $5 bets allow me to play for a good while on only $100 using just BS and either win a little or lose a little.
