      Having a problem seeing your jungle vines. Absent those vines, how will Tarzan swing at The Revel?

      This is interesting. I can imagine that maybe, (just maybe), the new Casino Manager
      will have a moderately enlightened attitude toward Game Protection and Comp' policies.

      The way that they handled these factors under the original owners was nightmarish,
      and in spite of their "newness", they operated at a loss until they went belly-up.

      Was the absolute worst casino management imaginable. [A Non-hyperbolic statement.]

      Everything they did to be different than other casinos made them less desirable to the customers they should covet. I heard about their great counter catchers but they couldn't figure out what I was doing. They were great at picking off the more common approaches though. I had friends that were not very good and struggled making money counting cards. They didn't last long. Meanwhile I was making money regularly but they were clueless. They should have let some of the people they "backed off" play. I had friends approached and threatened to be black booked and/or flyered unless they took the store out of their rotation. Most ultimately failed at counting cards and moved to other advantage plays. It is pretty funny. They have AP's in plain site where they can identify them and take appropriate actions. No action is really necessary but what they do makes the AP turn to other plays that are very difficult to detect and have much larger edges. They easily succeed at these opportunities and make far more than they would ever make counting cards and the casino has a very difficult time identifying the new advantage plays. Not exactly a smart move.

      Revel had an enormous debt problem. That's almost entirely wiped out. That gives them far more flexibility.

About Blackjack: The Forum

BJTF is an advantage player site based on the principles of comity. That is, civil and considerate behavior for the mutual benefit of all involved. The goal of advantage play is the legal extraction of funds from gaming establishments by gaining a mathematic advantage and developing the skills required to use that advantage. To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
