Sorry to interrupt all the political name-calling with a Blackjack gaming question, but perhaps someone who knows the answer can take a few minutes to respond.

A friend found the Beau Rivage casino in Biloxi paying 2-to-1 when the player wins with a natural blackjack. This was on a $10 table using a 6-deck shoe. About half the $10 tables offered the 2-to-1 payout, and the rest offered 3-to-2 payouts. He didn't recall all the other game details, like Dealer play on 17 or split-limitations. The game details for the 3-to-2 blackjack were probably different than for the 2-to-1 blackjack.

Question: Does anyone know what the game details were for the 2-to-1 blackjack game at the Beau? I told my friend I would check. Any help appreciated.

(...wondering if LV casinos pay 2-to-1, because, y'know, they're so player friendly)

If it's really 2 :1 with no catches you would be many days late and many dollars short.

That's a get there imidiatly situation.

But the most feared EC AP already know that, right?

Who said I was going to play blackjack?

I said I would check out the tables for the OP

Truthfully blackjack is just not profitable enough for me to waste my time on

I’d be shocked if that’s the case.

Unlikely at any property. Extremely unlikely at an MGM owned joint.

Confirmed. I just phoned Beau Rivage and was told it never does -- and never has -- offered 2:1 payout on any of its BJ games.

Not sure what kind of brain fart my friend suffered, but -- whether he did get 2:1 or not -- don't expect to see it when you go to the Beau.

Ya, I know, those stupid 2:1 blackjack promotions are just dumb and worthless, who needs an extra 1/2 unit every 21 hands and why would the most feared EC AP want to mess with that?

You should defiantly add that to your book.


Here are some more great chapters for you given your post history.
Don't hate, my bus is late.
Why I think 2:1 BJ is worthless compared to riding the bus promos.
Why I think 1k jackpot bonuses are worthless compared to riding the bus promos.
28% jackpot bonuses, they might be good, or not, but who needs them?

Video BJ 2 FOR 1??? Even money =2 FOR 1 (-;

Don't worry, if they ever did have a 2:1 Blackjack promo it would last forever considering the most feared EC AP doesn't have time for that BS.

Never fear, we will casually find out for sure on or about August first. Someone has a free trip.

Lol

I started this post by bragging about the huge operation im currently running but its too much for you to believe so in a nutshell no I dont have time for any of those things

I dont know why you think APs must do EVERY AP move. Your attitude is like ridiculing the heart surgeon because he doesnt waste his time or specialize in orthopedic surgery

Let’s say there really was a casino offering 2 to 1 blackjack for an entire weekend, no strings attached.

How much would you increase your bankroll and base bet amount relative to your normal level of play ?

I'm gonna bet he either saw a 6:5 payout or he saw "insurance pays 2:1" - I've had friends find both to be confusing.

I would bet $375,000,000 a hand. What the hell, 2 to 1 BJ, no strings, what a FANTASY !

I’d probably bet $100 on a single spot or $50 on 2 spots, which isn’t much of an increase over my normal level. A weekend of play is nothing even with a 2% advantage...you could still lose a ton of money playing much longer than that.

Although it may be a fantasy I doubt table limits having no limit would be part of it
