December 5th, 2011 by Site Admin
Blackjack players who count cards and try to beat the casinos at their own game must be both highly skilled and subtle players to get away with it. Unfortunately for the blackjack con gang run by Phuong Quoc Truong, they were more tricksters than card counters and were trying to win big at the tables by employing scams.
And, inevitably justice caught up with them via footage from a surveillance video. This team of scammers was working the blackjack tables at San Diego casinos, and had won millions of dollars by using a well set cheating system that involved the dealer, hidden microphones, outside aides and so on.
The team was led by Phuong Quoc Truong otherwise known as Pai Gow John; according to their set up an entire team would sit at a table to take up all the places at a table with a dealer in on the scam. The dealer would only pretend to shuffle the cards so that all the cards were in order, while one player relayed information on the cards dealt via hidden microphone in his sleeve to another scam member sitting outside with a computer in his car.
The player pretended to be smoking a cigarette and spoke into his sleeve, then signaling the players whether to bet or hold based on the information relayed to him from the man on the computer. The team scammed the casino of $7 million but were eventually arrested.

Carnival Casino Games Steal Blackjack Player Traffic
November 27th, 2011 by Site Admin
According to a recent report, carnival casino games are making it tight for casino blackjack tables and are puling away a bit of the traffic. These carnival casino games include the non-traditional casino games and involve games like Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em Poker and Three Card Poker.
A report from Jacobson Gaming, a game and casino edge analyst company, indicated that there has been a move from blackjack to carnival games over the past 10 years. He also mentioned that many casinos have been swapping the traditional table games for these carnival games. The main reason for this is that the carnival games are more appealing and have a bigger house edge, allowing the casinos to make more money.
Another factor is that the traditional blackjack game may be slowly losing its appeal. Some blackjack fans admit that the game of blackjack sometimes loses its appeal and needs to be altered and modified to appeal to a new generation of players. Joe Awada has developed a type of free draw blackjack side bet to make the game more interesting while Ray Abuan created a whole new blackjack games called Lucky 9. In this game, both blackjack and baccarat come together.
The younger generation wants a lot of color and fun in their games and the traditional game fails to provide it, as a result of which players move to carnival games like Blackjack Switch.

However, there are certain rules to be followed before the players can cash out their winnings. There is a limit to be hit for making withdrawals and the wagering bets do not actually qualify for the complete amount. For example, the bets made on Video Poker, Texas Hold’em, and Blackjack will be counted as one third of their actual amount and wagers made on other games will not qualify at all!
