Help! Can a dealer stand on 16 EVER???

[casinowinner]

Any casino that is losing will use dirty tactics to make you lose.I have been playing and winning in most Landbase casinos around the world and I have yet to find a truly decent management who is clean. I have seen and experienced many kinds of tricks and tactic they come up with when you are winning consistenly.

From CCC:

Hi Bryan,


Thanks for your reply. I had a look through the rules for this game and as it turns out the maximum number of cards any player (including the dealer) can have in one hand is seven, therefore the dealer was forced to sit on the 16 and the player lost the hand. It is most certainly a very rare thing for anyone to be holding seven cards and still be below 17. This rule is only in place for the 'multi-hand' version of blackjack at Captain Cook's - Standard Blackjack has an eleven card limit.

Sincerely,

CCC

Thanks Bryan. I can swallow the fact that the software has a 7 card limit for BOTH sides. It sucks, but if that's the way they wrote it, that's that. I play multi-hand bj because the game plays faster than single player bj. I'll just bite my tongue next time I get burned.

What still aggravates me, is the incompetence of the support person at CCC trying to explain the problem. Their excuse was simple ignorance of the game. Isn't part of their job to know the BASIC rules of the games they're supporting!

I only play the single deck game so this could not be a problem. The lowest possible 11 card total for the single deck game is a hard 21 and you can only get there by hitting on a hard 18 or more.

I am not sure what they were thinking with the seven card limit for a multideck game. It is a rare situation but the limit is totally unnecessary.

if u bust out the dealer doesn't have to hit a 16

No rainman, they dont even do that in land based casinos in Atlantic City.

If you are the only one playing and you bust out the dealer don't have to take a card on a 16. If you don't bust out the dealer has to draw on a 16 in ac.I don't know about the seven card rule.

[rainman]

ah if the dealer flips over his cards and has sixteen and u busted then he don't hit. Your right in ac they don't have to flip over the hole card if u bust.mh bj at ic and wh the dealer flips over hole card even if u bust.
