January 11th, 2012 by Site Admin
Batuhan Akalin recently announced the release of a new blackjack game with a difference. While other blackjack games tend to combine casino games in order to produce a new variant, the new Physics 21 HD combines blackjack and physics.
In this game, the blackjack cards have had the concept of gravity incorporated into their set up. For instance, the game has a card placed at the top of the screen and requires the player to touch it or flick it to have it drop into one of 3 buckets or slots below. Depending on the bucket, players will get points accordingly as per the number of cards they have managed to secure in the buckets. This is the element of physics in the Physics 21 HD game.
The concept of blackjack is implemented into the game as well and Physics 21 HD requires players to get a score of 21 points in any one bucket to win. There is no dealer to bust and the objective is very straightforward.
If you should secure 21 or a blackjack, you will become eligible for a bonus spinner game that will allow you to win more points as well as give you more time to finish the game. There is another bonus to be won as well.

December 28th, 2011 by Site Admin
Most blackjack players will tell you that it is advisable to keep a cool head while playing blackjack and not to let your nerves get to you. However, no blackjack player ever had a head cooler than Ivgeny Vorobiov, who walked into a Port Perry casino and proceeded to take a seat at the blackjack tables, soon after he had shot down a man in cold blood.
Glen Davis, a millionaire and philanthropist, was the unfortunate victim of the killer.
Ivgeny Vorobiov played a number of hands of blackjack but incurred no serious win or loss and then left the casino, leaving the other players and dealer unaware that they had a hired killer amid them. Ivgeny Vorobiov had been hired by the victim’s cousin, Marshall Ross to murder Glen Davis. The motive for the murder was greed and Ross claimed that he was worried that Davis would spend all his money, leaving him a pittance for an inheritance.
Jesse Smith was an accessory to the crime and pleased guilty and served as a witness for both the culprits. Smith, who worked with the victim, was initially approached by Ross and Vorobiov to do the hit, but declined. Instead he served as the driver and was an accessory to the gruesome crime, after which both men played blackjack at the Port Perry casino.
Effects of Card Counting and Technology on Blackjack
December 22nd, 2011 by Site Admin
Blackjack analysts at Ace Ten, a popular online blackjack site, concluded after a study that card counting and technology have impacted the game in a big way.
In the 1950s, casinos used one deck to play blackjack and card counting techniques were discovered around the same time although casinos did not realize that players had learned ways to beat the house.
Later, casinos learned to how to detect cheating methods such as marking cards. Since computers were not yet widely used in those days, casinos hardly bothered about card counting because they always felt that they had a definite advantage.
Card counting was a treasured secret, and players were careful about making it widely known because they did not want the casinos to get wise. They usually got away with it because casinos did not have the technology to detect card counters.
However, the scenario changed when a book on card counting was released in the mid-1960s. This book taught blackjack players how to use card counting techniques to bend the odds in their favor. Casinos then hit back by replacing single decks with multiple decks, beefing up casino security, and using the latest technology to detect card counting and cut casino losses.

It is possible that the new agreement will create opportunities for a few more resorts and casinos to spring up in the region.

Perdue claimed that his office would need 7 to as much as 10 percent of the revenue generated from the casinos. The tribes are trying to neg
