KJ has made the Colorado claim at least once before. Probably it was here but I'm not interested in searching for it. I didn't post about it last time because it seemed a waste of time. Since KJ keeps claiming it, I will post.

This is a GWAE interview with Cartwright. It's his fourth time on the show so Dancer/Muchkin believe he is credible. I know some people don't like Dancer but they did try to have good guests for the show.

It's an hour long, has other topics, and I don't want to listen again. I try to summarize from memory.

Buffalo Blackjack was used to describe the game of blackjack with the 2 side bets. It was only available in Colorado casinos.

Cartwright found the game early. He is a computer guy. He did his own analysis.

Word spread and other people were coming in to play it. Wizard mentioned in WoV that he was working on an analysis.

Cartwright contacted the Wiz and asked him to hold off publishing for a while. Wiz agreed.

Wiz waited awhile and then published.

Cartwright said the casinos realized they were getting hurt and cut the paytable or dropped the game. He said by the time the Wiz published there was only one casino still offering the game and there were many people trying to play it.

Wiz didn't kill the play.

Was KJ playing it? His network covers the country and maybe somebody tipped him. He was able to find his special blackjack machine in casinos halfway across the country by putting the word out over his network.
