New Jersey May Launch Casinos Outside Atlantic City
January 23rd, 2014 by Site Admin
If casinos located in Atlantic City do not generate more revenue, casinos may be constructed outside the borders of Atlantic City, giving blackjack players some more places to play their favorite game.
Chris Christie, the governor of Atlantic City, had given a grace period of five years to Atlantic City casinos to increase their gaming revenue. If Atlantic City casinos fail to perform better in 2014, the state may consider the idea of launching casinos outside Atlantic City.
The number of New Jersey casinos is soon going to reduce to 11 because Atlantic Club Casino will shut down on January 13. The financial problems faced by Atlantic City casinos increased because of competition from land casinos launched in neighboring Pennsylvania. Besides, Atlantic City might have reached saturation point as far as casinos are concerned, as a result of which some more casinos may be shut down in the near future. But this depends on the success of New Jersey’s newly regulated online gaming industry.
Ever since online gaming sites were soft launched on November 21, New Jersey players have created as many as 110,000 accounts. Gaming regulators in New Jersey are happy about this, but marketing strategies have been launched to attract more players.
Where to Get Good Strategy Tips for Blackjack Switch
January 21st, 2014 by Site Admin
A couple of decades back, players could play only classic blackjack. But today, they have a wide and confusing array of blackjack variants to choose from.
Spanish 21, a blackjack variant, enjoyed a great deal of popularity for some time. Although players are no longer playing the variant as they used to, it is still one of the major blackjack variants at casinos. Some years back, Geoff Hall invented a brand new blackjack variant called Blackjack Switch, which attracted a lot of attention.
Blackjack Switch enables players to play two hands simultaneously, switching cards from one hand to the other. For instance, if players get a Ten and Five in one hand and a Six and Ten in the other, they can switch the cards to get one hand of value twenty and the other of value 11. However, if the dealer goes bust, players’ hands do not win even if they do not exceed 21; they win only if they get a blackjack.
Blackjack Switch is a strategy game, and interested players can purchase a strategy booklet created by Gaming Today. Titled “Expert Strategy for Blackjack Switch,” it can be purchased by sending a $5.95 check to Gambatria, P.O. Box 36474, Las Vegas, NV 89133.

Mackay will have a casino only for one night, giving people a chance to play their favorite blackjack and roulette games. However, they will not be allowed to play for real money. This is because the Magpies Sporting Club wants to celebrate the New Year in a unique way.

He said that there will be blackjack and roulette tables and that the New Year Party will be on a “dress-up theme” as “New Years is all about putting on a costume.” Revealing further details about the party, he said that they had thought of doing the fifties theme when the Rat Pack was active and Las Vegas began prospering after World War II.
The casino night organized by the Magpies Sporting Club will be only one of the several New Year parties, which will be hosted in Mackay. Movidas will be organizing an event on the theme of Moulin Rouge. The Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre will organize a free New Year Party on the theme of super heroes, which will include live entertainment.

Simple Blackjack Tips for Beginners
December 18th, 2013 by Site Admin
Playing blackjack, especially for beginners, can be tough although the rules of the game are quite simple. New players, therefore, always welcome new blackjack tips and strategies.
In the first place, new blackjack players should understand that blackjack is not a game for the superstitious. The blackjack player is not governed by Lady Luck. The only way to win at blackjack is to focus fully on the game and discard any myth one might have heard about the game. While a generous dose of luck is essential to win at blackjack, players need a lot of skill and knowledge of strategy in order to consistently win and make a profit out of playing the game.
Most beginners are unaware that there are several variants of blackjack, all based on slightly different rules although they look alike. Before wagering real money on a blackjack variant, players should make sure that they have understood its rules and strategies properly. It also pays to know about casino advantage.
Players should also never wager on a blackjack game until they have thoroughly studied basic blackjack strategy, which tells them when exactly to hit, stand, purchase insurance, double, split, or surrender. Fortunately, these strategies are available for free at several online sources.

December 9th, 2013 by Site Admin
The gambling industry completely changed the lives of 24-year-old Daya Acharya and 25-year-old Tulsi Mishra, two Bhutanese refuges who later became blackjack dealers at Horseshoe Casino Cleveland.
Their families had to flee from Bhutan to Nepal’s refugee camps when the two were very young and had to remain there till 2008. Thanks to a US resettlement program, the two families found a place in Cleveland.
Remembering the date of their arrival into the US, September 24, 2008, Mishra said that they had never thought they would come to the US. Both Mishra and Acharya knew nothing about the gambling world, but both are dealers at present.
Acharya recalled watching movies about blackjack such as 21 when he was in the refugee camp in Nepal. Now a resident of Mayfield Heights, he said that he had seen the game of blackjack being played in movies, but had absolutely no idea what kind of a game it is. Today, he is a dealer not only at the blackjack tables, but also at the poker tables.
Speaking about his experiences at the casino, Mishra said that he is happy to be working there, adding that he has got excellent supervisors and co-workers.
Both hope to become citizens of the US soon.
