LATEST:
Recently our team travelled to Brisbane (Treasury) and
the Gold Coast (Jupiters) to play some six deck blackjack. There are certainly
more betting opportunities for the card-counter when compared to the more
common eight deck game. We found the quick manual shuffle encouraged card-clumping
which resulted in shoes finishing on high (or low) counts more than expected.
Heat was felt at Jupiters when we were having a "lucky" run.
For a laugh, at the end of a massive negative shoe, we drew on hard 17
against the dealer’s ace. Crazily, a four followed by a six popped out,
causing the pit crew to almost pass out! Not a great idea in retrospect.
Treasury Casino is a fantastic old building, which takes some navigating.
Often you will be confused as to which direction you are facing and whether
you have discovered all the gaming rooms yet. In contrast, Jupiters is
modern and constantly expanding, with newly upgraded hotel rooms and nightclubs.
A ‘Rewards’ card can be used on the table to earn points towards accommodation
and food in both casinos.
For travel we recommend booking online with Virgin
Blue.
An $11 train trip to the Gold Coast can be caught from
Central Station, Brisbane.
A few correspondents have complained of conditions souring in New Zealand.
We have heard stories of bad cuts, restrictions, crowded low-limit tables
and pontoon proliferation. We plan to take a first hand look at the four
South Island casinos and provide a Basic Strategy chart for pontoon playing,
at least for camouflage.
TIP:
We can learn a lot from any blackjack player, no matter how bad they are...
LAUGH:
A roulette table in the Treasury high-roller area needed to
be closed recently. The reason? An in-house guest had left their bath
running, flooding their room, and soaking through the ceiling, causing
play to be halted due to wet conditions.
MYTH:
Beware of ‘friendly’ casino staff. They may appear to be on your side,
but they wouldn’t be paid a wage if the casino was running at a loss.
Don’t give away too much about your knowledge of blackjack.
Best of betting!
