Blackjack

[timmer756]

For the past four days I have been barely able to keep head above water. The two casinos I have been been playing Blackjack on has gotten more Blackjacks and 21 totals when I am holding a 19 or 20.......what is going on? never experience this type of domination by the casino. Any suggestions?

Hi timmer756 and welcome to the forum!

 

Would you tell some more details about your issue, because it's impossible to get a decent answer in that situation with that amount of information,ok?

[timmer756]

I have been playing on WIN PALACE Casino for a few months and for the past 4 days it has just been unbelievable the way the casino cards are comming up.....I hold a 20, dealer has 14, 15, or 16 and pulls a 21 alot more than I have ever seen. The blackjacks for the dealer are numerous to the point of being scary. Is this a coincidence or what? I have to believe they are on the up and up...but it just doesn't appear normal. Or am I just in a bad cycle....Thanks for the interest...and listening to my vent. How do yo get out of a cycle like this?

From their website:

How does WinPalace Casino ensure the fairness of its games?

Our software’s payout percentages are calculated by a sophisticated random number generator that is rigorously tested and uses highly complex algorithms. This ensures that our game payouts are honest and fair. For more information regarding this topic, please visit the Fair Gaming page.

 

On top of that, it is written there, that the casino is TST (Technical System Testing) certified, although there is no link to the official report!

 

Anyway, I don't believe the software is rigged in some way, probably it's only a bad luck. Sometimes those nasty loosing streaks may last for sooooo long...

Actually, I'm in your shoes with Microgaming slots for the last few months! No matter what I try, in which casino and for how long, the result is always one and the same - "Your balance is insufficient! Would you like to go to the bank and deposit now?"

 

Don't worry, I hope the fortuna will change its course soon, and you'll be back in the business again!

Blackjack is known for being evil, but it's just the nature of the beast. I used to be skeptical of casinos until I sat down and dealt myself a hand of blackjack from a deck of cards. Kid you not, first hand I dealt was me with 20, dealer 16, dealer drew the 5. From then on I've just taken it as it not being my lucky day.

Haha!

 

I like people with a scientific approach! Black Diamond -

I've also been having an awful experience with blackjack that has lasted for many months now. The main culprit is not necessarily one site in particular but a certain brand of instant play software found on several of the major (non-US) sites. Throughout numerous sessions, most of them admittedly quite short andplayed with low funds, the one thing I can be sure of virtually every time is that I'll lose everything - usually sooner rather than later. While I'm used to long bad streaks on a specific site or particular platform, never before have I experienced this sinking feeling - and for this long - that the outcome is predetermined and I will never come out ahead when playing this particular blackjack game. I keep telling myself the situation can't last forever and has to eventually turn around but, countless weeks and losses later, that time has yet to arrive.

I had similar awfully long losing streak at Microgaming slots, which lasted for almost 4 months! FOUR months and during that time I lost much - both money and nerves!

Until last Tuesday! $90 deposit in casino Kingdom and $780 for less than an hour! Cashed out $700, received the money today. Yes it's true that I'm still a way behind but...it's called GAMBLING my friend! Sometimes you win, more often you lose, but the most important is to have fum after all! Once you feel the fun is over, than it's time to quit, I'm afraid!

Sorry to see you've had a bad run at slots and I hope the recent big win is the start of a turnaround However, to be honest, blackjack and slots are two entirely different beasts when it comes to gambling. After all, there is a reason why one game is often restricted from bonus play at most casinos, or contributes only at a much reduced rate, while the other is not only widely allowed but greatly encouraged.

 

Blackjack has a much lower house edge and less variance than slots, which is why it was my first game of choice when I started out playing online casinos - always with a bonus, when BJ was still generally allowed everywhere. Nowadays I'm compelled to play slots more often, sometimes almost unwillingly, and while I've been sucked in by the occasional big win, I've also had some brutal streaks and bad losses. Yet you will rarely, if ever, see me complaining about prolonged bad luck on slots because, as far as I'm concerned, it comes with the territory.

 

Now I don't want to imply that one can never lose big on blackjack or that lengthy bad streaks are not possible. However, statistically, they should generally be fewer and less severe than those encountered in slots. Yet, with the particular software I'm talking about, I am literally starting to wonder if my chances wouldn't be better playing slots instead... which shows just how horrendous my results have been, if even I can start entertaining such an outlandish idea

Quite refreshing thoughts Efti!

 

But to be completely honest, I still believe that slots are much better choice to make big money compared to all sort of table games! Of course, there are thousands of pros and cons for each one, but my heart always tends to be on the slots side! And I really don't have any other choice, but to listen to my heart's voice!

Oh I definitely agree with you on this point - certainly there is much greater potential to win big on slots, even with a very small stake I too have been seduced by this fact time and again, sometimes to great gain but often at a greater cost...

Probably exactly the same, what I do from time to time with BJ and roulette!

My biggest hits have actually come from hot streaks on table games more than slots, but I still enjoy the slots more and I get more playtime usually.
