After that three cards of flop are dealt and again the player may place a bet; there is also a possibility to place the bet after the turn. However, there are some differences: before deal the player places the ante bet. If the player wishes to continue preflop game, he is to place the bet equal to two antes (the flop bet), otherwise he is to be dropped and to lose his ante. Nevertheless, the bets after flop or turn are equal to one ante (turn and river bets); at this stage the player may say “check” and continue the game without additional investments. When the river is dealt the combinations of dealer and player are compared according to the hold’em rules: the played away player loses all his bets; in case of draw game all bets are returned; if the player had won then he gets one-to-one payment as for the flop/turn/river bets; ante is returned in case if the combination is lower than street and it is one-to-one repaid in case of street combination. As you see, this game’s strategy is very difficult and unlike club hold’em you have to play with almost 100% hands and to drop only off-suit 23-27! During optimum game the advantage of casino makes nearly 2%. The word “bonus” in the name of game means, that there are additional bonus bets. The player can place the bet on his pocket cards. When the pocket pair or ace and jack, lady or king comes out, the player receives from three-to-one up to thirty-to-one payments. Side bet advantage of casino makes about 8%.

If you like to play blackjack and to bargain when playing club poker you need to have a look at Hold’em Blackjack (only InterPoker has it). The authors of game had swiped the rules of collection and calculation of hand points from blackjack – the player is to have the combination to the utmost close to 21 without overshoot. As the game is played not against the dealer there is no any surrenders, divisions, duplications, and even blackjack is disabled. This game is simple pontoon and has no advantages against 21 points collected from three cards. But the most senior combination becomes “Seven Charlie’s cards” – seven cards without overshoot. The rules of action are swiped from hold’em. In the first round all players receive one card each, obligatory small and big blinds are placed (in tournaments ante also can be used) and then there is an action round which is completely similar to limit hold’em in increments of big blind and three raises maximum. In the second round each of the remaining players receives the card and the second round of double bet action takes place. After the second round of action the players may continue to collect the cards (in a clockwise direction starting from the player to the left hand of dealer’s button). The player may widow the cards until he wishes to stop or until he overshoots pontoon. When the players finish to widow, the last round of action starts and the bets on this stage may vary from 2 up to 10 big blinds. When the action round is finished there is a showdown; the player with the best combination (“Seven Charlie’s Cards”, 21, 20, etc.) takes the bank and if several players have identical combinations they divide the bank. If the remaining players had overshot the player having minimum points (22, 23, etc.) wins. Casino takes the rake as it is the club poker. It is understood that there is no standard strategy against opponents, but it is possible to assume, that the player having quite good knowledge of blackjack and hold’em will have the advantage.

It should be noted, that popularity of various tournaments grows. It is more interesting for players to compete with human opponents instead of computer dealer. There are slots, blackjack, roulette, oasis-poker, and baccarat tournaments. A lot of casinos offer such tournaments and there is even a blackjack tournaments site.

And finally let’s have a look at innovations in the field of slots. As I said before, there is basically quantitative increase – new pictures and more lines (20-25 lines do not surprise anymore; there are even 30 and 40 lines). But there are also some innovations. The latest thing for the Internet which is known for a long time in offline games – slots with stoppage of lines and option “to push” the drum. Cryptologic casinos had gained the right to use so-called British fruit-machines which are classical slots of fruit themes, but as a bonus the players may have, from time to time, the option of either to fix 1-2 drums and to twist the remaining drums, or to shift any of drums on one symbol downwards.

Cryptologic also has another innovation – Cubis slot. The player sees three walls of a cube – bottom and two back. On each of the walls appear 25 multi-colored cubes. There are 15 lines which pass through two walls and if on one of lines there are four cubes of one color successively the player takes the prize depending on color and number of cubes. Then the winning sequence of cubes disappears and its place becomes occupied by other cubes and new winning sequence can be formed. In game there are also the cubes-multipliers increasing the prize up to six times as well as bonus cubes allowing to change the line or the whole plane.

Thorp regularly read mathematic journals.  When he was a student, he was pressed for money. The idea of outplaying the casino on the basis of calculations appealed to Thorp and he decided to check the results of the “excellent four” and see what will come out of it. The result of his activity was a phenomenal book Beat The Dealer, now its sales are approaching million of samples.

Thorp chose the other way – he did not make analytical calculations, but with powerful at that time computer IBM (they were also called mainframe) he wrote several programs on Fortran, creating quite original methods for 60s. By the way, Thorp together with his research instructor Claude Elwood Shannon, a great scientist, were also involved in solving the problem “how to outplay the roulette?”

From his calculations Thorp understood that dead cards had a considerable affect on the gambler’s chances this or that way. His main idea was about memorizing the dead cards in somewhat simplified way and when the situation is beneficial for the player, make high stakes.  By the way, this system still remains the basis of any methods and counting systems of blackjack.

The counting system introduced by Thorp, was rather complicated for usage in real casinos, required great concentration and large amount of mentally arithmetic actions. However with good training there was nothing impossible in its application.

Thorp’s book immediately became a success and bestseller. Everyone understood that with quite simple actions you can get an advantage. Every reader dreamt of enormous prizes. However, the casinos also knew the score.

Panic seized them. And in 1962 after Thorp’s book, all Las Vegas Casinos without exception changed their rules being afraid of mass influx of “system players”. The quality of the rules worsened terribly and no counting system could ever help you to win. Though the effect for casino turned out to be quite unpredictable and reverse – people stopped playing blackjack. And during several months, all the casinos had to return to the former rules for their own survival.

Another interesting effect caused by Thorp’s book- incredible popularity of blackjack outrunning the favorite American craps. A lot of people, after reading the book considered themselves potential winners and rushed to the blackjack tables. However, most of them had a bad understanding of the mathematical principles of the game did not become winners but quite vice versa. Therefore, casino got more clients and moreover losing clients. Since then their number is only increasing.

The system presented in the first edition of Thorp’s book was quite difficult even for professionals and only the few could apply it under the conditions of a real game. Something should be simplified.

The power behind the throne.  
Julian Braun is quite a unique personality.  He had hardly ever played a deal in real blackjack. But he played millions and maybe even billions of deals on the computer. Braun was a good mathematician and programmer and he got interested in Thorp’s idea and offered him cooperation in the sphere of calculations and programming.

 He was behind the development of all modern systems the authorship of which belongs to Revere, Humble, Wong and Uston. He wrote the only book How to Play Winning Blackjack, but what a book!

Braun upgraded Thorp’s system on FORTRAN and made considerable changes and the second edition of Thorp’s book also contained Hi-Lo system in its modern form. It was quite a revolution in gambling world. Braun worked in IBM corporation and had access to probably most powerful computers of that time. This fact helped to build simple and efficient tool in struggle with casino.

However, this is also the most common term for the game – also known as 21.
You are playing against the dealer at all times. Many people feel that you must play differently depending on where you sit at the table. This is not true. Players sit in a semi-circle around the dealer, but no matter where you sit, you are still playing against the dealer. You owe nothing to the other players – it is your own money you are risking.

In Blackjack, the suits of the cards have no significance. Tens, jacks, queens, and kings all count 10. An ace counts 1 or 10 at the player’s option. Cards from 2 to 9 have their face value. Therefore, if you hold a nine and a five, you have 14. A nine and an ace can be either 10 or 20.

The simple idea of the game is to get closer to 21 without going over than the dealer does. You are dealt two cards and the dealer is dealt two cards also – one always face up, and one face down. You are then given the option of standing with the cards you have (“stick” or “sticking”) or you may be “hit” and be given another card (“hitting”). You may take as many cards as you wish to, but should you go over 21, you “bust” and the dealer wins automatically. The dealer will not take any cards until all players are through at taking cards. Thus the dealer’s biggest advantage is here. Any players that bust, lose their bet – even if the dealer goes bust.

If you stay at 21 or under and have a higher total than the dealer, you win; if both you and the dealer hold cards equalling the same total, it is a “push” and you stay even (not winning or losing). If the dealer has a higher total without busting, he wins.

The pay off if you win is even money (one to one). If you get a “21″ or “Blackjack” (21 in two cards) you are paid at a rate of 3 to 2 (bet $10 win $15). If the dealer gets blackjack at the same time, you push – all other players lose.

You may take “Insurance” when the dealer’s first card is an ace. After all players and the dealer have two cards, he will ask “Insurance?”. You may bet another 1/2 of your original bet. Payment is 2 to 1 if the dealer does get blackjack.

At this point, after each player and the dealer has 2 cards, he will start at the immediate right and see if the player wants a card (a “hit”). If yes, the player scratches the table with his fingers or cards towards himself. If not, he places his cards under his bet or makes a negative movement with his hand. Dealers respond to hand gestures only. If you go over 21 “bust” you turn your cards over (face up) and the dealer takes the cards and your bet. If you stay at 21 or under, the dealer will continue to the next player.

As we mentioned, an ace can be counted as a 1 or 11. When you have say an 8 and a 10, you have a “hard” hand. However, an 8 and an ace gives you a “soft” hand. Because you have a soft 19 or a hard 9 if you count the ace as a one.

The dealer on the other hand does not get these options. When all players are through, the dealer turns face up his hole card. He must take a card if he has 16 or less. He must stand (in most casinos) on a hard or soft 17.

Most players try and guess what the dealer has and look at the other cards on the table before deciding to hit or stand. Most players also never win at Blackjack.

At this point, you should understand how the game is played. The following is your best strategy as determined by computer testing:

- Always hit when you have 11 or less.

- Always stand with a hard 17 or more.

On a hard hand: When the dealer’s up card is from 7 to Ace, draw if you have 12 to 16. When the dealer’s card is 2 to 6, stand on 12 to 16 except if the dealer’s card is a 2 or 3, in which case you would draw.

On a soft hand do the following: Always draw to a soft 12. Stand on 18 except when the dealer has a 9 or 10 value card. Stand on 19.

In most casinos, you may double down (double your bet) after your first two cards.

On a hard hand: Always double with 11, with 10 except if the dealer has a 10 or ace, with 9 against the dealer’s 2 to 6 up card.

On a soft hand: With ace 2 to ace 7 double against dealer’s 4, 5, or 6. Also with ace 6 against 2 or 3 and ace 7 against 3.

But in reality, different casinos don’t have as much tables on games as they have had. They did this to attract their clients as long as the hard economic times exist.

As an example,  Wynn Las Vegas is trying to offer around 25 dollars double deck blackjack games in weekends, down from a 50 dollars per hand. On the other side, the Sahara offers only one dollar blackjack game.

Players consider this move as being a retrait  from the high minimums in the last few years. Then was when the table minimums at many Strip properties have increased their hotel room rates, drink prices and restaurant checks.

Almost all of the blackjack wagers on the Strip casinos fell with 1 billion dollars after peaking the 2008 year. These casinos have also kept around 11 % of the blackjack wagers, a percentage point less than in the previous year.

Anthony Curtis, publisher of the Las Vegas Advisor newsletter said that high minimums have neer made a lot of sense because they make players to burn through some bankrolls and then gamblers decide to leave them earlier than they thought.

He added that the lower minimums were everywhere, even at  MGM Mirage and Harrah’s casinos.

At this time, Yvette Monet, the MGM Mirage’s spokeswoman doesn’t allow using the word “lower”. Each day they adjust their limits at the table game based on how many clients they have daily.
