HI Im tammy How do you do?
I have no job and researching blackjack everyday for like 5years,
I want to play blackjack everyday but my country has no casino so I have to visit different country to play blackjack.
If I have a green card then I can play blackjack until I broke But now I only play blackjack for 6times a week trip in year.

next year on JAN I am planning to go to las vegas,
now I am thinking about which casino is better to play blackjack.
EL Cortez or Lady Luck which is single deck with H17 DOA noDAS pen is soso(-0.17),
imperial palace which is DD with H17 DOA DAS pen is very good(-0.40),
Or 5star hotel which is bellagio, ceasers palace,mirage ,stardust(this is 3star) has DD S17 DOA DAS pen is 55%-65%( normal) But min is 25 so I am not rich enough to play that.(-0.20)

north las vegas has a poker palace casino has a single deck H17 DOA noDAS pen is 100% and BJ is even money, house edge is very bat but pen is 100%

Last week I went to reno to play blackjack and I went to rail city casino and there are single deck H17 DOA noDAS no sur pen is very good like 80% and also they deal in face up .Very good isnt it?

So I ask everyone which casino do you like to play in las vegas?

where in Vegas

If indeed you are a young woman, don't go to the El Cortez alone. It is a bad place...and don't go to the Western either, it's worse.

I guess you like single deck blackjack...and Reno/Sparks is best for that. So go there instead of than Vegas if you are coming a long way for Blackjack.

In Vegas, shoe games (6 - 8 decks) are good and in nice places.

Also, lots of okay places have double deck games. Study for shoe and double deck games.

Per the link at this site, the top 5 games in Vegas are currently:

1. Western--Single Deck (don't go--not safe)
2. Caesars--8 Deck (is on the Strip, very nice place)
3. Plaza--Double Deck (is Downtown on Fremont Street, good place)
4. Las Vegas Club--Double Deck (is Downtown on Fremont Street, good place)
5. Suncoast--Double Deck (is 10 miles northeast from Strip, is good place)

Good luck.

I've never found anything great at the Lady Luck. The El Cortez is playable as long as you can get away with it. Same with the Las Vegas Club. These are both good choices for low stakes players who are looking for $3-$5 minimums.

I think all of the DD games on the Strip are going to be $25 minimums. There may be a few $5 tables, but they usually have unacceptable penetration. I've also heard numerous complaints about the Strip going to 6:5 payouts instead of the usual 3:2.

I played there last year but didn't see that game. Any game that pays even money for BJs is probably not worth playing. The 100% penetration sounds a little sketchy to me as well.

That is excellent. I played Reno/Sparks a few years ago and loved it. the casinos are smaller and tend to get crowded faster, but the games are fun.

> So I ask everyone which casino do you like to play in las vegas?

If you are playing for low stakes you should stick to the downtown area.

tammy,

In the U.S., "Tammy" is the nickname for "Tamara", which is indeed a woman's name. You might want to go by "Timmy" (nickname for "Timothy") or "Tommy" (nickname for "Thomas") to avoid such gender confusion... or then again, maybe not ;-)

So Tammy, how well did you do?

I have personally played in every one of those casinos except the one north of San Francisco. I think you forgot to list Rail City in Sparks. I take it that you didn't give Western Village in Sparks a run for their money. Baldini's in not too bad either for a couple of quick snappers. ;-)

difficult to win

Hi how do you do.

This year I went to
FEB 2004 New Frontier Las Vegas 6night most of the time I played at Stardust.
I played for about 40 hours on DD min25 tables and I lost 2000 dollars.
JUNE 2004 I went to New Caledonia and played 50 hours and won 1000 dollars.
AUG 2004 Imperial Palace in LV 5 night only played about 20 hours betting 10-50 and I lost 100 dollars.
OCT 2004 1 nignt at chinook winds casino OR and also I went to spirit@mountain casino OR,2night stayed at the portland OR and I went to LA CENTER WA every night. total time I played about 20 hours and lost 200 dollars.
NOV 2004 reno most of the time I played at peppermill , fundango,rail city and siena and played about 40 hours and I won 100 dollars.

I can not win , how is everyone do for a tip? last week as you know I won 100 dollars but I think I am spending more than 100 dollars for a tip,so if I didnt give a tip to a dealer I won 200 dollars. I do not know the playing 40 hours and a tip 100 dollars is too much or too less .

About 6 years ago I know nothing about a blackjack and give a too much tip to a dealer and spend a money like a stupid ,once I stayed at a NYNY and lost 5000 dollars and I had a no money and my wife and I went to ATM to get some money to play. From now on, I study very hard but in Japan there is no detail about a blackjack because Japan has no blackjack.

My style is usually I played min 10 dollar table and bet between 10 to 50.
sometimes I played 25min and bet between 25 to 100.
But 100 dollar bet for me is too high amount of money that my leg starting to shake.

That's a very large tip

Tipping is a subject of great debate here. Some people do not believe in tipping at all. Generally I tip about 5-10% of my EV. But I also expect to get something for it, so I tip the dealer and tell him to deal faster, which earns me several times my tip back. If I don't tip the dealer and tell him to deal faster, he will deal slower, and this would cost me more than the tip would. In the two places where I use a player's card the pit bosses consider your tipping when rating your comps, so I get it back there too. But you don't have to tip nearly that much. $1-$2 per blackjack will do it, at your level.

Here's why...

> I do not know the playing 40 hours and a tip 100 dollars is too much or
> too less.

It depends on how much you expect to win after 40 hours of play. If you expect to earn $20 each hour then you would have won $800 after 40 hours of play. Now $100 is about 12.5% of your profit. It is the same as giving away 5 hours worth of profit. Why would you work for 5 hours without pay?

Most serious players will not tip at all. There is just nothing positive that you get in return for a tip. You are being polite to the dealer, but he cannot help you win any money (legally). Like you said, you would have won twice as much if you didn't tip.

> My style is usually I played min 10 dollar table and bet between 10 to 50.

A 1:5 bet spread is acceptable for single-deck games but you will not win very much in multi-deck games unless you are walking away from the negative counts. Here are the "textbook" bet spreads for various games:

Single-deck - 1:4 ($10 to $40)
Double-Deck - 1:8 ($5 to $40)
Six-deck - 1:12 ($5 to $60)

These are the minimum bet spreads you will need in order to maintain a decent win rate. Leaving during negative counts will also help. You might want to think about spreading more and tipping less. You will win more money and you will get to KEEP more of it.

> sometimes I played 25 min and bet between 25 to 100.

I know what you mean. I once had two $15 bets turn into $90 after splits and doubles. My legs were shaking then!

> PS HI MR Mayor I looked your pic and I thought you are Steven Seagal.

HAAAA! That's hilarious! It must be the cool shades...

Not worthless to me! =)

It is still not as bad as the Auto/Truck plaza. I was amazed when my medium bet (only about $40) was denied. It is not very often that a red-chipper gets to brag about playing two hands at the table max!

Of course, that's stil not a good reason to play there.
