Blackjack bonuses

I was just looking into the Blackjack bonus at Rushmore and in the t&c it states that there is a 50x play thru.200.00 percent bonus, 1000.00 max

So, my questions is........ Is this bonus worth it?

Depends how you play it. The bonus is 200% 50x (d+b) up to a maximum of 1000. So - (500+1000) x50 = 75,000.

And it's a sticky.

Of course, you don't have to take the max. To play this bonus right, you'd aim to double/treble your bankroll as early as possible (and of course hope you don't get caught not playing 'with the spirit of the bonus') and then grind it out.

As blackjack bonuses go, it's pretty high, but there again, they all are now.

Thanks Kmay,

I usually don't take bonuses, but money is tight this month due to cars repairs, so I thought I would stretch my dollar but............lol I will stick to my non-bonus ways.

That's the best idea I think.

Sure you would stretch your dollar, but you'd probably lose it in the end! That bonus is good if you are prepared to lose your deposit. The potential there is high. It would only take a few high stake hands to get a good balance, but getting through that 75k would be a very long drawn out process.

It's a shame that all blackjack bonuses have gone this way. Intercasino used to be the only half decent one. It too had a high WR, but as most casinos are removing blackjack from the permitted games list, or inserting ludicrously high WR, it was nice to have a stable one. Now that's disappeared, it seems that unless you are prepared to tackle these high targets, it's time to move to slots or give up entirely.

That was the only casino I played at before the UIGEA and they banned Americans. I always won there.Maybe one day soon things will change and go back to the way it was before.
