This turned out to be neither quick, nor a note, nor for Todd.

I hadn't paid close attention to the story.

Now it looks like it really was just a cosmetic malfunction - there's a physical wheel and it didn't stop at the value that corresponded to her actual...

Redietz, I think perhaps you mistake your inability to communicate whatever it is that you wish to say for your audience's ignorance of the same.

Just so we're clear.
It's Memorial Day, not Veteran's Day.

KJ's patriotism, like his trip reports, is not constrained by exactitude.

So this is meant to be an argument against sports betting? Do you not consider yourself a sports bettor?

I think it was 60, but who cares.

I don't want to read all the posts, I have too much going on right now.

Please can you just tell me the HPH and your appropriate edge (in percentage...

60 seconds! OMG. I couldn't play that for more than 2-3 rounds.

60 seconds is 60 rounds an hour. You can get that at a completely full felt blackjack table with a slow dealer and players...

I have not played much BJ on these but the games I have played all have a 60s timer, I think, which can be accelerated by hitting a button to end the turn when you're ready.

60 seconds might seem...

By "counting down the time to start the hand", you meant "counting down the remaining time to act"?

So you wait however long the game allows (typically 60s I think), and then at 55s it gives you a...

I think whoever designed this game should have given players more than 5 seconds to act.

Perhaps frustrated complaints from players timing out is one of the reasons there are few installations of...

Wait a second...this machine *requires* you to act in 5 seconds?

I can't imagine that goes over well with the recreational players.

Also a 5s pause, while it definitely makes it impossible to...

One can easily get out 1000 rounds per hour on the Game King and Casino Wizard blackjack games. So why was KJ doing only 100 rounds per hour?

My guess is it was a blackjack console with 4 or 5...

I am referring to the earlier discussion. You said then that the house edge of the base game was .6.

Pretty easy to look at the rules screen and see what the rules are, (including what BJ pays...

I was wondering why you said the edge of the base game was .6, when asking people to figure out the edge with the glitch, when 30 seconds with an EV calculator would have told you it was .73 or...

What am I conflating?

If you knew the HE was .73 or whatever you're saying it is now, why did you say it was .6?

Or alternatively how did you know what the HE was when you weren't sure what hands you were allowed to...

The point was that it is remarkable that you were asking people for the EV of the non-standard double option without having figured out the baseline -EV for the basic game (you said it was .6, which...

Hitting after doubling down and re-doubling down are not real rules on any real blackjack game I have ever seen. So they are not available options on the software I use.

I did the best I could,...

Here's a blackjack tip:

Before posting on a forum where you know nobody is going to help you to ask about the EV of a glitch, spend 30 seconds to input the rules into a BJ house edge calculator so...

OMG! Forgive me.

I thought it was common knowledge that standard 6 deck blackjack with the most common rules, has ABOUT 0.6 house edge. .64% most games, but I have a couple games with rules...

This is not correct. The standard 6 deck games I mostly play in Las Vegas with standard rules have a house edge of 0.64%. And that is with doubling on any 2 cards. with the initial doubling...

So this game has a .5% HE with basic strategy, $100 max bet, and 100 hph playing at max speed.

So assuming perfect play (obviously not realistic but still), this machine generates an absolute max...

Why so? After hitting the top progressive, the machine is likely programmed to do more actions than at any other time.

That would make a tilt more likely than after a normal spin.[/QUOTE]

I...

So what do we think actually happened here? Seems pretty remarkable the machine would tilt right after hitting the top progressive.

No, I am simply saying you are not in any position to speculate as to why I may or may not choose to believe or disbelieve his claims; stick to your own back yard and don't try to insert your opinion...
