Is this similar to what Lucky Nugget uses?

What do you mean Lanidar? Are you talking about the Viper software or something else?

[Clayman]

A little irresponsible to suggest

"Calculated after observing many thousands of hands of online Blackjack, the Casino Robots Advanced Strategy appears to eliminate the small percentage advantage usually enjoyed by online Casinos - thus tipping the scales in favour of the player."

[jpm]

I suppose that if you assume the scales are tipped heavily towards the casino, then tipping them back towards the player would be a more accurate statement. Unless its bringing its own cards to the table, its not going to eliminate the house edge

Did you notice the inference to this being the way the pirate of c21 won the $1.3mil?

Good point. I doubt more than very much if it's true.

Guess they forgot to mention, if it were true, and people had used their product, they would not have won anything.

I'm talking about the Autoplay that can be used when playing Blackjack. Is that considered a robot?

[jpm]

Ok, that's what I thought you meant.

I don't think you could really call that a robot, its more of a game mode. I would think of a robot as something that would run concurrently with the casino software and take the place of the player. If its programmed correctly, it will play perfect strategy and take any 'human error' out of the game and maximize your return. But it can't give you any more return than the games odds allow. In otherwords, it can't turn a negative expectation game into a positive one, which is what they seem to be intimating in their ad.

Thank you JPM.
I truly appreciate your response and your opinion.
(You have ALL those little GREEN squares next to your name)
I'm not being argumentative...not at all.
I just don't know much about this and I'm curious.
When some one uses Autoplay isn't the casinos software playing against the casinos software...using perfect strategy

[jpm]

No problem Lanidar, I didn't think you were being arguementative at all.

I had the same thoughts regarding the casino playing against itself with the autoplay feature. I'm still not sure why they would give you a way to play perfect strategy on almost every game (though on slots, there really isn't such a thing). More than one person has said that you need to modify the strategy tables on the BJ games in order have the correct strategy for autoplay. It looks like the VP games are all playing correct strategy, at least the ones that I've done spot checks against Winpoker were right.

I guess since almost all, if not all, have a house edge, then they are still going to make money even if everyone plays perfect strategy. I don't think either of the deuces wild games are full pay, and those would be about the only ones I could think of that could give the player an advantage.

Now, if you add in comp points to a game with a very low house edge, you could potentially have a positive return (assuming they give you comps for those games).
