    Absolute Slots (Rival) Strange BlackJack

    Hi,

    did you ever take the 200% welcome bonus on Absolute Slots, the new Rival ?

    It is up to 400 Euro and BlackJack is allowed !!

    It is cashable !!

    It has a 75x deposit WR.

    This is a MUST WIN, would you think.... (75*200 = 15000 -> 15000 *0.0062 = 93 -> 600 Euro - 93 Euro = 503 Euro. -> 303 Euro GAIN)

    But I never, ever had a dealer that draws soo often to a 21, pushes your 21s and 20s and far too often has a small card on 14,15,16.

    If you play without the 200% bonus, all is normal.

    I talked to 2 friends of mine, both had the exact same experience.

    What are yours ?

    .62% HA? Your math is wayyyyyy off.
    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

    0.62% is correct for the single-hand game. Wizard of Odds' calc and my house edge calc both agree on this figure.

    I believe Rival BJ is fair. I gained over $600 on the sign-up and am up over $1000 overall.

    Hmm. They just inserted a 100% BJ only bonus with 40x deposit WR for this weekend. Should I take it up?

    if the blackjack gets harder when you have a bonus. And it is rigged. Then what you would do is lose the amount of your bonus and the game would get easier after that and try to level out and you would start winning and be able to beat it.

    If it is just like all other computerised blackjack. It's payouts are probably not very good. And the best strategy is to raise your bets on a winning streak which are usually short and few. And only flat bet minimum amounts on losing streak to cut your losses.

    Never taken a bonus to play BJ so that may be why I do not follow entirely your first paragraph unless by harder you meant meeting the wagering requirements evenso I am not sure I get it.

    As for the second paragraph, if only I knew when the steaks would began and end, then Warren Buffett may be working for me. Don't get me wrong, you have the right to play however you feel is best which I am not sure anyone knows what is best online but I will let that lie (npi) for now as it Crown Reserve time in about 5. But I could/could have use(d) a streak expert in my BandM play especially when I lost 40 of 45 hands, 16,18 and 21 in a row as I remember in Vegas and last July in Tunica when I donated over $100K in less than a hour losing 35 of 37 hands not even accounting for splits and doubles to determine total unit bets lost.

    I need a streak expert, where is KK or that monkey that threw darts at a newspaper full of stock quotes to determine his portfolio on 20/20 and beat all the stock market gurus in annual portfolio performance (been awhile so an insignificant detail could be inaccurate). In fact I think the monkey did it again years later but that may be hearsay.

    Funky, relax as I am serious but my sarcasm is all in good fun.....Same for you KK as we have been there enough so all in good fun!!

    Dont get me wrong, I won the 2nd and 3rd time I deposited at Absolute with the BJ game and I'm abot 200€ above all together.

    It's only that I never seen this happen before. The dealer has about 3 times more often the kind of card he needs, getting 21s and 20s out of 5s,6s and so on.

    Is normal to have this 10 times in 30 hands, this is a bad run, but this streak lasted for some hundred hands.

    For me, it looked like the dealer can take the next card, if the first would bust him..

    And, this was ONLY with the 200% welcome bonus, but the same with me AND 2 friends...

    Dont know, just extremely strange

    I will try to get the data from the 2 others and merge it with mine and then think on..
