Played almost 1,000 hands there 1-2 years ago for their BJ promo and did very very well.

Dont recall if they were paying 2-1 on BJ then.

trytry- If they do, I am sure the game offers other rules that do not make it 100%+ payback.
Such things as non-liberal rules on doubling down,splitting pairs, etc.etc.

Perhaps somebody else can comment on them.

Can you?

--double down on any two cards?
--Double down after splits?
--Hit after splitting aces?
--Split a third time (example--if you get 2 8's, split em, & a third 8 comes...can you split again?)

Not worth it at all since 5 dimes are azzholes about casino play, well all of UG in general.

it was for the 4-6 hours before the superbowl only. Nice promo, but I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to have that up for long periods of time...

a casino can pay 5:1 on blackjack...as long as the player loses 10 out of every 12 hands...the house still wins.

stay far away brothers.

I will go on the record as saying that I do not think that the casino software at any respectable book is fixed...why would it be? Advantage is already well in favor of the house, and if someone found out it was fixed, the book's reputation would be destroyed...

with that said, there are a lot of fly-by-night casinos out there, and I wouldn't put such a thing past them...

drunkguy.....definitely not true.....as a matter of fact, one book/casino manager, or what have you, even admitted in the past that most books' casino software have different difficulty settings......That alone says enough right there.....

I agree 100% with you surfboard, absolutely 100%.......Through the years, I have/used to play at many, many online casinos. The ones that are most fair it seems are ones that only specialize in casino games, such as The Sands, Omni...etc......Most of the smaller ones that sportsbooks use are ridiculous.......But 5 dimes is by far.....the most unfair Ive seen.. I know Fish says he did well there once, but he must of been the 1 out of 100......

same here......I gave them chance after chance...thinking that possibly things would turn around, that I was just catching them at the wrong time, maybe right after others had won.....But every..........single.......time......it was the same ol story.....No matter what hands I would have, they would always have or magically put together 20, 20, or blackjack.......Maybe the thievery in their casino is what has kept them around so long........
