Casino Rebate is Don Johnson’s Secret To $15 million Blackjack Win
July 18th, 2011 by Site Admin
Sometimes it is worth taking risks at gambling, and this is certainly right when it came to Don Johnson’s record wins at Blackjack. A rebate from the casino was the key to his success as it allowed him to wager $100,000 a hand at the blackjack table.
From December, until this April, Johnson had bagged a total of $4.23 million at Caesars Atlantic City and more than $4 million at Borgata. Additionally, he won another $5.8 million in a 12 hour session at Tropicana.
He mentioned that he modified his playing strategy before investing on the table and that he was able to wager up to $100,000 a hand owing to a rebate. Johnson did not talk about other rules, but for the fact that the dealer utilized a six deck shoe on soft 17. He said that the new rules decreased the house edge to 0.253%
The real good news was that he had a deal with the casino that it would reimburse 20% of his losses if it came up to $500,000. “You’d never lose the million. If you got to minus-five hands (an overall loss of $500,000), you would stop and take your 20 percent discount. You’d only owe them $400,000.”
He said that he divided a pair and re-divided four hands in all, and three of them doubled. This means, his initial $100,000 became $700,000!
Ex-dealer Sues Casino Canberra Over Blackjack Robbery Stress
July 16th, 2011 by Site Admin
A 32 year old woman, who is an ex-dealer and supervisor of the card tables at the Casino Canberra has decided to sue the casino for negligence. She believes that she was not treated fairly after she was the victim of a 2008 blackjack robbery on the casino floor.
As of now, she plans to sue the Casino Canberra because of her post traumatic disorder after an abusive patron caused a scene at one of the tables where she was working. The 32 year old lady blames the 2008 blackjack robbery for triggering her disorder and regards the recent disturbance at the gaming venue as something that has left her “shattered” and suicidal.
Her accusation is based on an event that took place in March 2008 when a man grabbed a handful of $100 chips from her when she was counting the blackjack float. The lady was already suffering from depressive bipolar disorder and she was also diagnosed with an acute anxiety disorder and reportedly needed treatment to avoid a post traumatic disorder.
The dealer also mentioned that the blackjack robbery which occurred several years ago had traumatized her so much that she was now sleeping with a knife under her pillow.
However, the lawyers of the Casino Canberra have mentioned that her existing state of mind might be a consequence of mental illness from before or illegal drug use. The ex-dealer had accused her bosses by mentioning that they very well knew that she was undergoing acute anxiety attack post the robbery three months back but they still had placed her in an unsafe place when she came back to work.
How To Spot Cheaters At Your Blackjack Table
July 12th, 2011 by Site Admin
When blackjack players are caught cheating at these card games, it is an offense that is both illegal and punishable. It is also equally necessary that you do not get grouped together with blackjack cheaters as the authorities may accidentally end up suspecting you for the same crime and bar you from the tables.
If you are playing at a blackjack table with cheaters, you need to be alert so that you do not get cheated by others.
Blackjack cheaters usually work in teams and the most common way to cheat is to mark all the 10 point cards with a sign, either by a scratch or something else that is visible to the cheating team and not to others. This gives them an advantage over the dealer. Blackjack cheaters also mark the cards using special liquids that are invisible to the naked eye, since they can be seen only with special kinds of lenses or glasses.
All these different cheating methods have been used by Blackjack cheaters, but the blackjack is a game that cannot be won by cheating once, and players will have to repeatedly cheat at blackjack for a long time to win, and hence they most often get caught.
Nowadays, casinos, slot machines & blackjack tables have the latest in technology to identify such players who cheat at blackjack, and hence they get caught. The dealers at casinos are also paid enough so that they can’t be bribed, and trained enough to keep a keen eye on the players in the game.
How Blackjack Cheaters Mark Cards To Win
July 7th, 2011 by Site Admin
Cheating at any gambling game is illegal and is punishable by law. And even Blackjack players who cheat get caught at one point or another and end up paying a hefty price for having cheated at this unique card game.
The beauty of Blackjack lies in its numbering system and players who are good at math or quick with calculations often think they can beat the blackjack tables just like the team in the movie 21. The mistake that the MIT made was to think that they were better than the system and that they would not have gotten caught.
The most common way of cheating at Blackjack is by marking the cards, and the most common way used to mark the cards is by damaging them in a certain way which is seen by the team of cheaters and not by others. Bending, crumpling and crimping of Blackjack cards have been seen many a times at casinos and blackjack tables.
Cheaters seem to forget that it does not take much for the deck to be changed at the blackjack table. Cheaters also seem to forget that cheating at Blackjack is also a gamble, but while doing that they are risking their freedom and not just some cash.

Online Blackjack Casinos Triumph Over Brick and Mortar Blackjack Parlors
June 30th, 2011 by Site Admin
There has always been a raging battle between blackjack games that take place between brick and mortar casinos and online blackjack casinos. The debate over which is better seems to be getting settled as reports indicate that online blackjack may just be gaining the upper hand and becoming more popular with players.
Traditional blackjack games offer players all the glitter and excitement of the brick and mortar casinos while online blackjack offers convenience, variety, easy access and affordability. There are more forms of blackjack games available online than in regular casinos.
Online blackjack is also generally played at smaller stakes. Online blackjack players can try their hand at blackjack with a small stake of $0.01, and this is because it is easier to set up several tables online since costs the traditional casinos a lot more to increase their betting tables.
Since online casinos offer the smallest of stakes their offer is limited up to $10000 to their members, whereas at brick and mortar casinos, the blackjack games can go up to very high prizes – with equally high buy-ins. The best thing about online casinos is the convenience of playing the games in the comfort of the player’s home. While playing at a brick and mortar casino has its additional costs of staying at hotels, buying food and is also time consuming in terms of cashing into chips. And when there are no seats players find it uncomfortable to be playing at a casino, while online tables are never full.
Brick and mortar blackjack players get the chance to play alongside celebrities at times, sharing the fun and the atmosphere at the same time, but this is a rare perk usually available to high rollers. Online blackjack casinos on the other hand are far more popular with the average player as its offers various bonuses to its players.
