BJI Newsletter, September 2017, #212
Read this issue as a single web page
A WORD FROM HENRY
Our September issue contains three blackjack reports: the first covers the Las Vegas Downtown Grand and Plaza casinos (by Stu D. Hoss); the second on the Las Vegas Cromwell casino (by KC Brooks); and the third report covers four casinos located in Kansas City (by JPC). (You'll find where the better blackjack games are located in these reports.) Paul Wilson also visited and reports on the two casinos in Las Vegas that offer a 3-2 blackjack game (one of them is very good). Blackjack pro Nicholas Colon pulls no punches when he discusses the psychology of playing advantage blackjack, an important point that every "wanna be" card counter needs to read and understand. Most blackjack playing decisions are obvious but some are not; in my article I cover those non-intuitive playing decisions and explains why it's important you make these plays. Ariande wrote a thought-provoking article on the psychological and statistical anomalies so "you don't go wrong" when you gamble in a casino. Multi-Strike Video Poker is fun to play and Jerry "Stickman" reviews the game and the strategies for playing it. In this month's Casino Answerman column, John Grochowski answers questions dealing with several deuces wild video poker games (bet you didn't know there is a difference in playing strategy); what to look for if you want to play a video blackjack game; and a Mississippi Stud Poker strategy question.
Michele Guzzinati, who is our BJI European contributor, emailed me this report on the following casinos that she recently visited:

"When The Cromwell first opened I was very impressed with the overall design and layout of the casino. I viewed it as a fairly high-end joint; however, I found the place lacking in playable blackjack games. There were, like most places on the Strip, lots of 6:5 games, and the only decent games had a posted $50 to $100 minimum bets. I am happy to report there have been some significant changes for the good (for a change)..."
