Blackjack Insider Newsletter, March 2005, #62

Back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, long before the days of 6/5 blackjack, I was going to Las Vegas once or twice a year. Back then I wasn’t counting, I was just a typical recreational, good basic strategy player. But one thing I did notice and remember is that no matter where you went all the blackjack games had the same rules and pretty much the same amount of cards dealt (i.e., penetration).

Now let’s fast forward to the new millennium. Nowadays the conditions of a game could change from one pit to another in the same casino. The casinos rely on the customer not paying attention to details and as a matter of fact, the dumber they think you are the better they will treat you. So just act like a sucker and half the battle is over .The other half of the battle is finding a decent game. Finding a decent game on the North end of the strip is not an easy task as you will soon read. In fact you will see that conditions at one casino will be drastically different from another, even though they are owned and operated by the same corporation.
