I'm sure the pit boss would say "yes we can" even if they couldn't. "Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept through nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire, for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829 |

Share your experience so that others can avoid what happened to you. That's what the forum is all about. I am benbakdoff -Member since: July 13,2010. |

After a couple of more months with no substantiation, we now have the curious news about Don Johnson's returning to the tables in Atlantic City: Posted: Saturday, March 10, 2012 12:30 am | Updated: 3:48 am, Sat Mar 10, 2012. ATLANTIC CITY — Blackjack whiz Don Johnson added to his incredible winning streak in February, scorching Tropicana Casino and Resort for $2 million during a month that saw other gaming halls also take a drubbing at table games. . . . For the month, Tropicana’s table games revenue plunged a staggering 118 percent, for a loss of $1 million. It is exceptionally rare for casinos to lose money at table games, even when their revenue is down overall. Johnson told The Press of Atlantic City that he won about $2 million, a figure confirmed by Rodio. Another blackjack player beat Tropicana out of about $4 million, but yet another gambler lost $2 million, Rodio said, declining to give their names. Tropicana’s table games strategy is based on attracting high-stakes players who bet as much as $100,000 per hand. The strategy has backfired at times, particularly with Johnson’s winning exploits over the past year. But Rodio stressed Tropicana has no plans to back away from big-stakes betting. “There are some months when we’re going to do great and some months when we get clobbered,” Rodio said. “But we’re open for business, and we want other customers to know that they can take a shot.” Johnson said he was betting as much as $100,000 per hand during February’s win streak. His winning ways at Tropicana first began last April, when he took home $5.8 million during a 12-hour gambling spree. He followed up with a $2 million haul in October. “I have to believe that their strategy is that things will turn around in the long run and they will get their money back,” Johnson said of Tropicana. Johnson, of Bensalem, Pa., soared to fame last year, when he beat Tropicana, Caesars Atlantic City and Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa out of a total of $17 million. With his latest win at Tropicana, he is now up to $19 million, solidifying his reputation as the “Beast of Blackjack.” Although Tropicana’s table games strategy has been risky, Rodio said his casino has been close to the industry average in hold percentage — about 14 percent — over the past 18 months. Hold percentage is the ratio of gaming chips the casinos keep compared with the number they sell to gamblers. acpress |

And guess what? The press is talking about Tropicana, an aging property with a Joan Rivers-style face lift, instead of Revel, which is opening in a few weeks. I don't know that I believe the stories of these people taking Tropicana by the balls, but if it's generating excitement in the property, then I guess it's good for them.
