Read this in a gossip rag, wondered if it was true.
Almost fell off my chair laughing at James Packer's comments yesterday on all the good that Crown Casino is doing for Australia's economy and tourism.
Pity he didn't spend any time explaining the disgraceful rort now going on with Crown's blackjack tables. Not content with already running a card game of chance with heavily stacked odds, courtesy of their use of continuous card shufflers and multi decks, Crown now gouges the punters further on their $5 and $10 blackjack tables.
Getting a blackjack means Crown only pays odds of 6:5 instead of 3:2 (meaning a bonus payout of just 20% instead of the standard 50%) on a player blackjack, and allows the dealer to draw another card on soft 17, a huge further statistical advantage to the casino. Nice work, Jamie. Maybe the tourists are dumber than Aussie punters?
