Hello all,
I've posted on the subject of online blackjack before and thought I would post a follow up. In my initial post, I stated that I felt a particular blackjack game did not flow like a blackjack game should and could possibly even be rigged.
The website I'm talking about is PartyPoker. I don't play much blackjack anymore because I live in Oklahoma and we have an ante which destroys any edge and because I believe theres much more earning potential in poker.
While waiting for my tournament to start, I took the 50 dollars that was left in my account and took it to the blackjack table. I wasn't planning on playing to turn a substantial profit, I was merely playing to pass the time. I played no hand higher than 1 dollar except for doubles and splits.
Almost 30 minutes later my 50 dollars was all but gone. I've seen crazier things happen at the blackjack table, but it was the way they happened that irked me.
-First off, the dealer always pulled out miracle cards to turn stiffs into 17's or better. Vice Versa, a 10 always seemed to be the next card on my 13-16. And the majority of the time I busted, they hole card would show a 4-6 to say (see what would've happened had you stayed.)
-Second, I've never seen so many 6-7 card 20's and 21's before. I see these very rarely in shoe play, but it is not uncommon at all for the dealer to use 5-7 cards to make a hand.
I'd played a little blackjack on there with the same occurances. I suppose I should've learned my lesson, however I didn't think too much damage could be done with 1 dollar bets. I did a google search and have seen many many complaints about the exact same things I've just said.
I have played at other online casinos.
-King Solomons, Sands of the Caribbean...etc. And I have no gripes with them. However I'm almost convinced something is fishy with party pokers bj game....
Beware.
