    Cool Vegas strip casinos respond to huge reductions in vegas blackjack revenue

    After a long meeting among the gaming managers at the majority of the strip casinos, it was determined that there was an overwhelming need to increase revenue from blackjack on the strip and that they would immediately take the following actions to achieve that goal.

    1. No game will be allowed that has more than 13 cards behind the cut card.
    2. Stand 17 rule is in effect on all games
    3. Early surrender is offered on high limit games
    4. Card counters are ignored as their impact has been determined to be minimal and the cost of stopping the few is more than the potential losses.
    5. No mid shoe entry restriction is barred from all games.
    6. All games must be of 6 decks or less.
    7. Casino comp programs will be improved to promote play for players card programs used for blackjack
    8. 6:5 Blackjack is illegal and any casino caught offering it will be subject to harsh financial penalties.
    9. CSM's are no longer allowed (correction advised by a leading advocate of these changes)

    Effective April 1, 2016




    APRIL FOOL!

    2 No game will be allowed that has more than 13 cards behind the cut card.

    Everything else would be nice, but it's window dressing compared to the above 2.

    I made the joke a few years ago, except all the Caesar's properties were going to pay 2:1 on blackjacks for the day.
