harrah's casino new orleans blackjack rules

Without much to offer the AP player or the tourist, I can’t give this place my highest recommendation. The marketing department is quite active, and getting room comp offers in the mail are easy. I attribute this to short sessions and infrequent visits. I have spoken with some advantage player (AP) friends who have been tossed from Harrah’s, but so far I have evaded heat. Now they only have 38 million slot machines there (slight exaggeration).

They have recently redesigned the pits around the Salon area and (what else?) took out some BJ tables and replaced them with more slots. Minimums are $25, $50, and $100 in the Salon Privee’. Pen seems to be about 1.5 decks, but is dealer variable. The vig for the house with perfect basic strategy is ~0.4%, or a pretty mediocre game from a rules standpoint. The best game, albeit more closely watched, is the 6-deck shoe, which is S17, DAS, no LS, no RSA. There are 6 four-deck continuous shuffle machines which have a slightly lower house advantage for the basic strategy player, but the lack of shuffle time allows the non-advantage players to lose at a level at least as great as the shuffled shoes. Table limits are $5 (rarely seen at night) to $1000. The 8-deckers appear to cut almost 2 decks with the shuffle card. So, wonging is pretty much out of the question here. There is no midshoe entry on any game that is $10 and up. Following several short sessions, I am sorry to report that the conditions are not very good for players of any type, whether you are a novice or advanced card counter.Īll Harrah's 8 deck games (35 of them) have a midshoe maximum of $100.

He has been studying and playing blackjack for 10 years, averages 2-8 playing sessions each month (40-60 sessions annually), and has managed to make playing blackjack a lucrative sideline.
