Chasing off players with bad odds on Blackjack.
A table games expert said casinos are running the risk of chasing off Blackjack Players by their push for more revenue.
During a panel discussion Tuesday on how to evaluate and value table games during a seminar at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, AGS Senior Vice President of Table Game Products John Hemberger said casinos are in “a dangerous area right now” because of the growing use of 6:5 payouts on Blackjack, as compared to 3:2 blackjack payouts. http://bit.ly/2LaRmzA

There may be value in the comp less casino.
Hey look, it's the future of Vegas. Yay.

In a WOO interview a few years ago the Wizard predicted the fall of blackjack. To me it seemed that despite the proliferation of 6/5 tables, no one seemed to care and the game would continue its dominance. Then I stumbled across this Forbes article from last year...
Blackjack's Rise And Fall Shows What Drives Customers Away
...and would now have to agree with the Wizard. The telling part is this passage...
Quote: ForbesSince 2000, the number of blackjack tables in the state of Nevada has fallen by over 31 percent. Yes, but the amount casinos win from blackjack is still the same, some might argue, so things aren’t that bad. Factoring in inflation, though, the amount Nevada casinos have won at blackjack has fallen by 46 percent.
It might be said that the expansion of casino gambling to other states is more to blame than anything inherent in blackjack itself, and that might be somewhat right. But baccarat and sports betting in Nevada have made real gains over the past two decades. Those games, it must be said, have for the most part resisted the belt-tightening of blackjack. And only resort fees and paid Strip parking have attracted the level of fury that 6:5 blackjack has.
Alas for my first casino love.

Oh, hey, I just posted something about this in the thread about declining casinos.
Blackjack has been on the decline since at least 1985.

Hi All,
Regarding promoting my New Table Games.
This will happen from time to time and not at a regular based on my post.
I hope you all understand and it is OK with Wizard.
Quote: RomesI have never seen MrCasinoGames post here without promoting something. Was looking for a discussion about the thread topic, only to find "hey they said this.." and never mind here's my casino game!
Don't know the history of the OP, but I expect on this site that the advertisements run down the sides of the window. But when there's so much irrelevant stuff in the body of the post that has nothing to do with the title, it doesn't matter if the ad is sponsored by the owner or not.
I spend a lot of time ignoring the crap that infects everything else on the web. Guess it's no surprise that this approach is gaining here too.
