    Stadium blackjack

    Anybody really know how this game works ? I mean REALLY. BJ Insider, WOV, Gambling Forum etc, either have no info or wrong info. Even the Vegas Gaming regs do not address if a player loses just his original bet on a dealer BJ on splits and double downs. Supposedly you have 30 seconds to place a bet. During slow times, if all players post bet within 10 seconds, does the dealer wait the other 20 seconds or does the machine tell her to deal then.
    I believe if player A stands on 8/8, player B hits, player C splits, and for sake of argument the dealer has a 10 up.
    Next card out of the shoe is a 5. That 5 gives player B 21, player C has a 13 on his first hand and the dealer has 15, only for player A. Player C calls for a hit on his 13. The next card is an A. Dealer has 16 for player A, Dealer has a BJ for player B, who loses with a 3 card 21 ( WTF) and now Player C asks for a hit on his 14 and receives a 7 for 21, Dealer now breaks with 23. Player C receives a 10 on his split 8 for 18. Dealer now must take a card against player C. Dealer turns a 5 then a 8 and busts.

    Player A stood on 8'8 and won. Player C split 8'8 and won both bets Player B hit 8'8, got a 5 for 21 and LOST !

    The O.P. needs to understand that without the source of this

    absurd sounding game we will not be spinning our wheels.

    The complete rules are needed, but where does this silliness exist?

    You are not likely to find any interest here in a six-deck, BJ6:5, CSM game. Hard to imagine a worse blackjack related game. It's not blackjack and, one would hope, will die a quick death.

    Mohegan Sun has Stadium Blackjack. I think it pays 3:2 but, honestly, I never gave it a look. It's been there about 10 months.

    Venetian is 6:5 and the manufacturer says the game is 6:5. Possible that Sun is different. But, the game is designed to be a $5 game.

    Ive seen it in multiple places paying 3 to 2.Thats the point of it, the casinos can afford to have a $5 bj game paying 3 to 2 .
    Of course it doesn't surprise me that some casinos are paying 6 to 5.

    The original push by the inventors sold it as a 6:5 game. If a casino got them to offer 3:2, that's good. It's designed as a less expensive solution to offering BJ aimed at millennials, and allowing $5 bets due to savings. Two dealers for forty-plus players with built-in time limits and theoretically far less real estate, plus the fact that each player's decisions are private, and not subject to ridicule. One problem with new players is they can be intimidated by table games. Also, due to co-variance, the vast majority of players will all win or lose in each hand. That brings the camaraderie of Craps to the game. Still think (and hope) the game will fail.

    I love one of the press releases saying new players will not be intimated by a dealer only 3 feet away . Yeah, millennial want to be as far away from a hot looking female dealer as possible. I saw an article on BJ21 that was full of errors . Henry Tamburin agreed and while in Vegas last week he decided to check SBJ at the Venetian. 2 different dealers told him different versions and no manager had any idea at all. Henry was gonna follow up with Roger Snow and SHFL. Good luck with that. Videos on ShaqBJ full of contradictions as are press releases.
    I think Distributors and casino just decided to put these on the floor as an excuse to raise limits on real BJ table. Here you go, want a low limit game, go play Stadium or Shaq. Don't worry about the rules or how action occurs. Just go play and stop whining about 6/5. Your boycott did not work on 6/5 and you will play Stadium or Sjaq. Now shut up and put money in the machine !!!!!!!!!!!

    The intimidation issue is more about other players than dealers. As we all know, players are often ridiculed by other players even when they make the correct play (often particularly when they make the correct play). APs quickly develop a thick skin and/or manners of deflection. This is a real issue for casinos, and a clever selling point for this idiotic game.

    Henry is now creating articles for 888 and should be ignored. Well, he should be ignored since Speed Count.

    Casinos are trying to deal with the fact that millennials like video games and just plain aren't into classical gambling. This is an experiment, that I hope will fail. And, it will fail as millennials are more into combat than camaraderie.

    If we want to improve odds for APs, we have to think of games that solve the casino problems and our own needs at the same time.

    I understand, Norm, that you aren't a fan of HT and the 888 website? What do you think of the e-book he published? I am considering checking it out after currently reading your Modern Blackjack books.
