Greetings Harris,

Most if not all the Blackjack games I have played and I have played a lot
Have a hand total present this helps with speed of play as well as reducing
fatigue because its easy to play when you don't have to tally yours or the
dealers 3-8 card hands.

Also all of the games give a representation of the final outcome, Win, Bust
and most signify a push as win.

Yeah it shows push as getting money back even if it’s your own. My next task is to overhaul the system that shows what you have won :) I can add the live blackjack numbers too
Thanks

Someone bought harrismowbray.net to harass me because he’s mad that my table games website is conceptually similar to his app which is an insane amount of effort considering I just run this website for fun.

For the record, despite the website’s claims, I am not unemployed and I do have multiple jobs in the linguistics and gaming fields 😂

<edit: the online rant specifically about me was taken down>

I’d like to buy the website back. How much is it now? I’ve invented a new Pai Gow tiles game and would like to try it on your website.

I think it’s very cool that you invented a new game using Chinese Dominoes, feel free to message me if you want to discuss it.

I should be able to make a demo but it will not be that quick because so far my website is only equipped to handle blackjack variants, poker-themed games, baccarat variants, dice games, and coin-flipping games (just Two-Up so far). I will expand to wheel and domino games very soon.

Also please please please do not pay him for the domain.

Honestly I don’t know why he thinks I copied his site, as if the idea of playing casino games online belongs to him. I asked him for advice once and when he kept discouraging me, I removed a link to his website from my own website which evidently angered him.

I don’t feel the need to take action since I learned in Vegas that multiple companies are preparing to take action against this guy for making a living off of their games without permission. I know he is reading this forum so good luck I guess haha

Just when I thought this site was really just a bunch of “grumpy old men”, things get interesting! lol

I followed the posted links and have my thoughts (based on my career).

It’s going to be be interesting to see how things resolve if the two parties can’t come together on the matter 🤔

Also as a side note, the main inspiration for my website was and remains Table Games Online. This website has a much nicer design than mine, and the creator has nicely given me lots of advice and help.

It appears that some company already took legal action and he thinks I’m responsible. I actually removed ten games from my website when asked, I assumed he just renamed his (I can’t see because some users are experiencing a glitch where nothing works and no text is shown)

Maybe he thinks he has a loyal army of supporters that will pressure me to take down my website that I host for fun 🙄

I agree. You might also consider the saying that "there's no such thing as bad publicity" and stop giving him air time.

I'm not sure that a page that looks like it just popped off GeoCities could be classed as "not bad"...

I think the word "trademark" in shock quotes when you were indeed using trademarked game names on your site adds a nice touch.

Stuff like this is bad for business as I don't see how anyone would want to do business with someone who responds to adversity with doxxing, cybersquatting, personal vendettas pursued in public. Undignified.

To be transparent, I do not have any intellectual property issues with any company and I obtained permission for almost all of my games.

Obviously I didn’t ask permission for a few games such as blackjack and barbut

Classic Pai Gow Poker is another game that is not copyright protected. (hint, hint)

I think any game could be used, but you cant use the actual name.

Call it "Double Down Derangement" by Blight & Blunder.

Not a fan of the copycat games and I don't think I would be if I ran a casino either. I understand why they want to have games that are already familiar to players on the floor, but once you change the name it isn't familiar anymore and only the smartest and most experienced players are going to realize it's exactly the same. So what's the point? They'd be better off just making a new game.

I do not think it is nice to game inventors, that their games can be copied. However some "copies" are actually a bit different games than the original, like Three Card Prime.

I just updated how the website shows how you get paid, which should make the website much cleaner. I think that the website now works pretty well on mobile if you turn your phone sideways.

The one exception would be the game Criss Cross Poker, which has a lot of cheques and cards taking up the screen, and I'll try to fix it to make it better :)

Additionally I fixed many glitches. Soon I will add many types and tables of video poker to this website - any requests? I already have a Video Poker website so I will use all of these and more.

Like always, I am taking requests and recommendations, and I will listen to about 90% of them :)

I'm not a fan. While the new results are easier to read and understand, they make it impossible to see the final status of the game. Also, after reading them a couple times, the wordiness is overly redundant.

I'm also not a fan of your decision to change the url without using an html automatic redirect.

Lastly, I had mentioned the there is a bug in the logic for blackjack splits that allows a resplit followed by unlimited hitting. That bug has not been fixed.

Dear Dave,

Regarding blackjack splits, I was up until 2am last night working on my website's long-awaited split update, which I just published a couple minutes ago. Not only are the problems fixed with blackjack splits, but you can now split up to 3 times (for a total of four hands)! I have been procrastinating on this for months because the code is a bit complex when dealing with so many hands at once, but now that I'm free of this issue I can work on adding more varieties like Spanish 21 and Super Fun 21. I'm not excited to add Blackjack Flip which can include up to 8 hands at a time :D If you find any issues with the new splitting system, please let me know. Thanks so much for your patience with this problem.

Thanks for bringing up the URL issue, I have now implemented an automatic HTML redirect.

I have decreased the opacity of the screen so that you can read the cards, I hope it is better now. Soon I will implement a short pause between the final card being laid down, and the payment screen coming up.

Regarding wordiness, do you think I should not announce bets and sidebets that have lost?

Outside of this I fixed some issues with blackjack messages and fixed a major glitch in Chuck-A-Luck regarding number bets.

I hope that the website is better now, let me know if you have any more suggestions or thoughts.

Best regards,
Harris Mowbray

Hello everyone!

Over the past few days I spent a little time on the website, adding new games such as Roulette, Sic Bo, 5 Card Pai Gow, and Crapless Craps (preview available but not finished yet)

After making it a bit more aesthetic, I hope the website will be ready for casinos around the world to start using to train dealers. I will allow you to change rules on various games in the future - such as # of decks in Baccarat, implementing Auckland rules in Ultimate Texas Hold'Em, or allowing a 6-card Charlie in Blackjack.

What rules variations would you want me to add to my website that you can find in real life but can't find online?

Sorry for the mistake, my bad, I broke my rule of not posting new games after 1am again :(

5 Card Pai Gow was having some issues but I fixed them all just now and added the rest of the side bets :)

This game 5 card Pai Gow poker is silly. I don’t see no point of having an “Arrange Hand” button in this game.

Do you think the player's hand should automatically arrange itself according to house way? Or should the hand immediately start after two cards have been selected?

I’ve never seen a 5-card Pai Gow Poker game anywhere, so I would suggest you use the house way for the player to simplify the game. It’s mostly a gambling after all. However, I’m very interested in a 4-card Pai Gow poker game, because that would be a lot like a Pai Gow tiles game.

5 Card Pai Gow Poker is a new game, which was invented by Casino Gaming Development (makers of 3 Shot Poker). I have seen it a few places in Vegas.

I think 4-card Pai Gow would be really boring because of the lack of possibilities for Flushes, Straights, and Trips.
