Hello everyone,
I would like to start this thread by saying that I've been playing at Microgaming casinos for some time now. The thing that strikes me the most is that I am never able to have any decent win at their Single Deck or Spanish Blackjack Gold versions (Flash). Considering blackjack is a -EV game, of course I acknowledge on the long run you will go broke. Nevertheless some things always seem happen during those blackjack sessions. Their game just feels unreal and it leaves me with a nasty taste in my stomach almost everytime I play it, that I decided to stop playing it online entirely.
A) I tend to lose 70-80 % when I double down, (even when the bank has 4,5 or 6 as a face card). Doubling with a 9,10 or 11 often gives me a 3,4 or 5, while the dealer doesnt even bust) As if its their way to take away any money you won from previous games.
B) When I increase my bets, they usually let me win once, followed by consecutive losses. As if some different pattern occurs when you bet higher.
C) Last but not least, it seems like the dealer has the Ace or a 10 more often than usual as face card, and that the player busts way too often with 12,13,14!
I ain't saying their game is rigged, since Microgaming apparently is a high end casino software developer with a good reputation. But I do want to know the opinion of other players who played this game with different sized bets. Is there any way I can access the stats for my Microgaming blackjack sessions, and if so is there any EV analytics tool, like there is for online poker?
When I search down Google, I hardly see any threats about this. It makes me think though, even if their game is flawed: who has the money to play countless blackjack sessions to have decent size sample to analyze? Other than the pay out percentage being offered by themself, there isn't any reference material from players or anything.
I am looking forward to your hear more experiences from players who play blackjack for real money at Microgaming casinos.
