Blackjack 6:5........An interesting twist

Saw this ad in the Southwest magazine on a flight from San Francisco to Vegas.

Maybe the general population is beginning to speak up if Stations thinks it is a marketing pull.

Is "Strip Blackjack" anything like "Strip Poker"? ;-)

Palace Station casino offers a 6;5 single deck games which is frequently full when other tables are empty. They also have a 2nd pit with $5 six deck shoes paying 6:5 with no shortage of customers. Yes they offer 3;2, but you have to be a little careful not to get 6;5.

wouldn't be surprised to see the ad saying one thing and reality being something else.

There are many of these signs between Sacramento and the Nevada stateline. What the sign doesn't say is "on selective tables, shallow pen, early shuffles, and over-sensitive pit crew, especially on weekends."

You forgot "Flat betting only".

I think it's great that they are advertising as such and MAYBE "Joe Public/Ploppy" will get a clue. But I agree with Zach Black in post #3 above. Wiz doesn't even list the Palace casinos in his BJ survey of playing conditions.......not that it's as comprehensive as it used to be:

"There are many of these signs between Sacramento and the Nevada stateline. What the sign doesn't say is "on selective tables, shallow pen, early shuffles, and over-sensitive pit crew, especially on weekends."

The sign is advertising the decent games at the Station properties in Las Vegas.

Your comments are reflective of the "BJ No Man's Land" that is RENO.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the advertisement. I think it's great. It's not like they're inviting card counters to come play and lying about the conditions.

I wish more casinos advertised like Palace Station is: Make a move to play 3:2 instead of 6:5 BJ.


I don't like their sweatiness, but that has nothing to do with their ad. +1 for PS.

I don't know if this will work, but I'm glad to see it. Real blackjack players (black chip and up) are far less tolerant of horrible rules like 6:5. This is for the same reason that craps, blackjack, baccarat, and pai gow are the most popular mid and high limit games.
