I have the choise of playing VP with a bad paytable or tripple my WR playing Blackjack at Lasseters. Which option is the better?

WR is 640$ for VP

VP paytable:
RSF 500
Str8 flush 45
4ok 25
Full house 8
Flush 6
Str8 4
3 of a kind 3
2 pair 2
JorB 1

WR is 1920$ for BJ

Which option is better?

Edit: If it makes any difference: I have 150$

97.67% theoretical return. Avoid. Play BJ instead.

Took your advice - flatbetting 5$

I suddenly remembered why I stopped playing at Lasseters. Their blackjack is playing real strange and you just KNOW your going to loose... Playing a very stable return of 92%.......

Out of money just 20$ short of meeting the WR.

It is a pretty straight line from start till finish. Just one looooooooong stable loosing streak... Last time I played a Lasseters, it was exact same story - a brief re-visit, and now I'm closing my account!!!

OUCH. THAT is ugly.

The only way I won at Lasseters is by flatbetting $5, eventually getting so pissed off from losing over and over and over that I put $266 on one bet (all-in) and hit a blackjack.

Am always scared with the all in bets because what you do if you get 2 8's against 5,6?

Be glad you're all in, so you couldn't afford the split and feel doubly screwed?

If I end up all in with 2 8's against 2-6 I dont know about you but am going for a WAR bro

I know I might bust up but that's gamble

At online casinos having 88 against dealer six is normal. You will have many of these cases. In this case you will always (near 80% times) lose.
Think about it.... that's online gamble !
