On the Blackjack survey, I see that at the Bighorn, there's a footnote that indicates that blackjacks are paid 2 to 1 when there are at least 2 players at the table. It says, restrictions apply. Anyone know what are those restrictions?

Check the Bighorn thread under hotels.

Stopped by the Bighorn this past weekend to check out the 2 for 1 blackjack deal. I inquired with the pit boss after not seeing the promotion posted on the table. The pit boss informed me that no such offer exists, and he has been there 2 years. He said that it might be at the Longhorn. In any case, the Bighorn is probably the seediest and smallest casino I have ever stepped into. I wouldn't feel comfortable playing there anyway. I went ahead and also stopped by the Longhorn to check it out. The promotion does not exist there either, but the pit boss did say that at some time in the distance past they did have a promotion like that, but it was around 8 years ago. Doubling after 3 cards is still in existent though. The Longhorn is probably double the size of the Bighorn, and not quite as seedy, similar to Ellis Island or O'Sheas.
I know the most recent blackjack survey still shows the 2 for 1 blackjack promo at Bighorn. How is the data for that compiled? Was it actually confirmed in existent as of the date of the survey?

Nice research. CBJN and the Wizard should probably take note of this information. I actually find Longhorn seedier than Bighorn. But I've never been to Bighorn at night.
