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
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 😂

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 🤔

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 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.

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.Quote: harrisI just updated how the website shows how you get paid, which should make the website much cleaner.

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?

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.

A new era is dawning at my mega table games site, Table Games Academy.
Let me show you my Three Card Prime demo for example. You can play any version of any side bet, learn the RTP, and get told by the website if you are playing/folding sub-optimally. You can also read the rules and the strategy on the page, rather than being linked to the Wizard of Odds or one of my other websites.
Additionally, in games like Blackjack you can go into the rules and change the number of decks, toggle double after split, choose stand/hit on soft 17, etc.
And of course I changed the layout a lot, especially to make it look better on phones and tablets, and to ensure consistency across browsers.
There is still work to do on my Craps and Roulette demos, but I am very optimistic for the future of the site and I am grateful for all the help this forum has given me. I would like for this website to be utilized by actual casinos and dealers as soon as possible, and I am open to collaboration with anyone (including whatever team currently runs the Wizard of Odds site) to further develop the website or integrate it into an existing site.
Please let me know what you think or if you have any feedback right now :)

I'll start! Conditions in which the failure was seen: first hand, I am dealt a natural, dealer has ace up. I decline to take insurance. Dealer shows a 3 as the downcard and I am paid. But when I hit Rebet, I am dealt exactly the same cards again, over and over.
A perpetual blackjack! I like it! Unfortunately, that does not correspond to any game actually being dealt.

I’ve tried your “Down Under Blackjack” but found it confusing. Your dealer hole card is simply marked as three colors: blue, yellow, and red, but players do not know what the color stands for.
In a real-world casino, there are three different slots to place the dealer hole card: left, middle, and right, in addition to different colors with respect value ranges. Therefore, I suggest you mimic the real casino situation here.

Some of you have noticed that I completely overhauled the site's design to make it more modern and aesthetic looking.
Additionally, I am adding as many rule variations as I can to games.
I was wondering if anyone has seen rules variations specific to Poker-based table games that I can add?
From what I know, in Auckland NZ they play Ultimate Texas Hold'Em with the rule that both hole cards must be used, and I read that some casinos let the player win ties in Three Card Poker (I don't know if/where this is true). Has anyone heard of other rule variations?
Additionally, if someone has a request for rule variations, let me know. While working on this next step, I'll make the rules to every game (including Down Under Blackjack) as clear as possible. However, I am going to slow down my work since I have a real casino mathematics job now and also I need to get a girlfriend.
Peace be upon you all,
Harris

Thanks very much for this information. Assuming that Sky City was the only casino to do this, I guess this signals the end of a variant.
This is good because it means less work for my website ;) and less confusion for visitors to NZ
I try to only have games and side bets that are played at actual casinos. I might remove games and pay tables that aren't being used anywhere from the front page of my site in the near future. (Don't worry, if I made a game for you it will still be accessible through hyperlink).
I just don't think it would be helpful for players and dealers to see a game on the front page and spend time learning a game, side bet, or variant that is never going to be dealt again.

I envision that one day there will be a database showing every game, rule set, side bet, and pay table at each casino in the world.
It would be unrealistic to fully complete, but with a forum as large as this one, I think a useful and substantial amount of data could be found pretty quickly.
Additionally, the project could just have the smaller scope of observing what games are played where.
Finally, I wanted to say that I added 21+3 and Lucky Ladies to my website - let me know if you have a specific blackjack side bet / pay table you want me to add. I am thinking of adding Trilux pay tables instead of or in addition to 21+3, which one is more popular?
