My favorite game in Vegas in now online

[Macgyver]

BJ has some of the best odds for players, having card counters know what cards haven't been played increases those odds.

You're not a counter, are you, caruso?

Card-counting has no value with online blackjack as most casinos shuffle the shoe after each deal of the cards. Only at some of the live webcam places would it do any good, but I've heard that it takes forever to play and those places don't disclose how much penetration happens before the shuffle.

...most casinos shuffle the shoe after each deal of the cards.

We'd like to think that, but how do we know?

We'd like to think that, but how do we know?

Because they say so.

Because they say so.

If African Palace tells you they shuffle the shoe every hand, would you believe?

If African Palace tells you they shuffle the shoe every hand, would you believe?

No! but if someone said that African Palace took all the aces out of the deck I'd believe it.

 

[tim5ny]

HA! Meister

I played that in Canada at the Falls View Casino. That game bent me over and did me dry.

This is a silly line. It's an established fact over the last ten years that online casino software is set up to not deal into the deck but shuffle after every hand. Most, if not all providers - including Playtech - state this.

Your original comment, about better odds in single deck game relating to B & H advantage players, is bogus as it relates to online play - but this has already been pointed out to you, for the given reason.

Microgaming licensees have nothing to fear from the single deck game, since there is no way of players gaining an edge. They all offer it in the flash, and a couple offer it in the downoad. Why do they not ALL offer it in the download? There is no autoplay option for this game, and if there were and they were terrified of bonus players autoplaying single deck for bonuses, they could simply pull it from the terms - as most do with blackjack anyway.

Single deck blackjack was the ONE Microgaming game that gave players a shot at breaking even; that this is the ONLY major supplier the majority of whose licensees break out in a cold sweat at the thought of offering just ONE decent game, speaks volumes for Microgaming. Yeah yeah, jingle-jangle flishy-flashy slots everywhere - but not ONE good, low house edge game.

Stated where? I've seen them talk about their RNG as it relates to the slot payouts, but I've never seen anything about shuffling the shoe after every hand.

You should read the game rules.

"Blackjack (single player)

...

Rule Exceptions: The cards are shuffled after each hand, pairs may not be re-split, and players may not draw additional cards on split Aces."

Thank you, GM... I stand corrected.

We played those Multistrikes back by the East Tower elevators in June. I didn't do so well, but my friend hit 4 of a kind on the top line twice on the machine on the far right. I was more interested in the Men In Black slots behind them. Those are so much fun!

Here's a link where you can try out Super Times Pay. Old / Expired Link If that link doesn't work, just go to actiongaming.com and click on play/play games and it takes you to them and multistrike.

Also, Jean Scott has a good Frugal Fridays column about all the variations of multi game vp's they have out or are planning at the Las Vegas Advisor site.
