9 Box BJ

No. There's a BJ table called Double Action Blackjack that has 2 boxes in front of each of the 7 positions, for a potential total of 14 hands.

Although I got barred there years ago, and the place is really not worth going back to anyway; the Nugget in Searchlight has (or had) a table with no BOXES - just one long betting line (similar to the insurance betting line). As long as you had room to put a bet somewhere on that line, and as long as there was room for the dealer to place the cards; you would be dealt a hand. The table max was only $50, so our 3 man team would play 3 spots each. At times there would be as many as four or five other players also, for a total of something like 12-15 hands going at once. Those were the good old days.... :)

9 box BJ. Is this a record?
Nine spots and only seven chairs. Another brilliant idea from casino management.

I remember that place, although it was completely dead when I was there. It was a fun 4D game at the time. They had 2 tables but only one was open. The tables were so close to the wall that the pit boss had to sit right next to the dealer. He sat there reading a magazine until the dealer went on break, at which point they just switched places. They even read the same magazine. Isn't that the place with the one-lane bowling alley too?

That's the kind of thing they ought to make movies about! The rip roarin' days of blackjack. Three-man teams playing nine spots! Hole carding, I hope. Couldn't get many rounds with 15 players, least not single deck. :laugh:

The two spots without chairs are for wongers since they will be leaving at the end of the shoe anyway. :p
