I decided that in order to practice on the most realistic platform possible, to complement Casino Verite, I am buying a used casino blackjack table. This guy in south-eastern Illinois apparently bought a casino boat (yes, around here casinos have to technically be on water) from a bankruptcy liquidation. It contained dozens of tables including bacarrat, poker, craps, blackjack, roulette and more. He has a few blackjack tables left and I'm going to pick one up!
It has seven bet spots, a locking chip container, the black semi-translucent discard tray, the red & clear shoe, removable cup holders and a few different limit signs along with six decks of cards. It has padding around the front and was used at a real casino for several years. Definitely nicer than some other used (and new) tables I found that were ordered from catalogs that don't necessarily tailor to casinos but to home hobbyists and casino night clubs instead.
If any of you are in the midwest around St. Louis or Belleville, give me a hollar either on this post or through private message and I'll give you the guys phone number. The equipment is located in Collinsville, IL and he still has two BJ tables and a 14 foot craps table. The craps table costs $1,200 while the blackjack tables are $250 to $300 , and there's also a $100 table but it's in poor condition; but on a budget it will work!
Anyone else here own a nice casino blackjack table? Does it make you feel like you're getting more out of your practice or what?
. I'm going to have my girlfriend deal to me in a skimpy outfit for, uh, distraction.
Here's a picture of the table:
Very nice for $275, agreed?
