The nick-name One Armed Bandit was invented for a reason. The Strip Club is so named because it strips your money from you and has only ugly girls. Post a sign saying: The woman who stops to chat with you is probably a hooker.

However, its supposed to be a festive atmosphere, so what do you want the casino to do: I rank the wording quoted above on a par with the Spanish 21 game signs that tell you all the wonderful bonuses available and then, at the very bottom, in 4-point type, there is the phrase, 'all 10s removed from the shoe'.įull and frank disclosure is rarely the rule in Las Vegas, particularly from the viewpoint of an inexperienced gambler who has had the casino pouring alcohol down his gullet for awhile and can barely navigate his fanny-pack around the casino floor. I hate deliberate obfuscation in the casino's presentation of a game and its rules. The wording of the rules is extremely and DELIBERATELY misleading. I had some good runs, from memory double my starting amount in 20 minutes. Its fast paced, simple and is best when all places at the table are taken. I played the game to kill time waiting for a certain roulette table. Players can play their own card as well as any other players card if they so desire. There is the option of a side bet which pays 10:1, the bet being paid if the player and dealer tie. The golden rule is in the event of a tie, never surrender. The chance of the player or dealer winning in the first deal is 46.3% but the house advantage is in the case of the tie.

Usually the cards are from a 6 deck shoe (no jokers), so no point in card counting. If a tie again, the player wins the whole pot. In this case the player and the casino matches the original bet, and the player and dealer both get another card after the dealer has burned 3 cards. The player and dealer both get one card, highest card wins, In the event of a tie, the player can either surrender and lose the bet, or 'Go to war'. Its really simple, no strategy that I can see. Yes I played it at The Venetian and Sands in Macau.
