Over the past 50,771 hands I have kept track of every dollar spent and won at Be The Dealer Casino. I enjoy playing there, however, I have made the following observations. If anyone can tell me if they have a similar experience, or the opposite experience, please discuss.
I have played many hours of video poker, play accurately, and have hit 9 royals (so we can assume it's been at least 360,000 hands).
My observations:
1) 8/5 JOB should cost $0.067 per hand (without the royal), so far I'm running a consistent $0.0851 (That's $1,000 more then expected over 50,000 hands).
2) When I play "the dealer", other players are averaging $0.052 cost per hand. Many using the wrong strategy (keeping an ace with a pair, holding 2 high cards to a royal and dropping the "10", keeping inside straights, etc)
3) In Vegas, Tunica, etc, I can deposit $100 (400 credits), and regularly get the machine to 1,000 credits (+$150), with BeThe Dealer, this has not happened over 76 sessions, and only about 15% of the time do I ever go higher then my initial backroll (the first 5-6 hands are nothing and go down 60 credits quickly. However, when I'm the Dealer, seldom do the credits go up and typically it is down $10-$15 dollars.
4) Some very "Lucky" plays when I'm the Dealer. I have chalked it up to volatility, however, yesterday, it was three "4 of a kinds" in 5 hands played. Odds are 1:16,000,000.
Sorry for the rambling, I just wanted to point out it was not just one little area that is not going my way.
Any responses would be appreciated.
Like I said, I enjoy "BeTheDealer" and want to keep in good standing with them, I just want some other perspectives.
P.S. If anyone is interested at the data, I can upload the Excel file with the data and charts.
