Virtual Blackjack Gets the Okay in Lincoln

Attorney General Lynch "has ruled out the need for legislative or voter approval for the latest addition to the gambling menu at the Lincoln greyhound racetrack: 'virtual blackjack.'”

"The first of the electronic games in which five players sit at a table signaling their moves to a simulated — and in promotional photographs, blond and buxom — 'dealer' on a video screen went in early this week at Twin River, generating nearly double the average daily income from one of the video slots: nearly $600 per seat per day. By the end of the day yesterday, another five were expected to go online. Another dozen are on their way."

Can Newport be far behind? BTW this "games" features a buxom, Bavarian, blonde as dealer. No blonde, rugged, Bavarian men in those cute little leather shorts. What's up with that? Nice that this also cuts the need for an actual dealer. You'd have to pay them - buxom or not.

I'd blog more on this topic but it's for another day. Busy. Comment away!

BTW, 24 hr. gambling no longer high on the agenda- at least for Lincoln. And it was Carcieri's "okay" to casino operators that got this whole "virtual" crap, oops, I mean gaming going. Good thing that he's opposed to gambling expansion, isn't it? But it does rake in the bucks.

Thanks to Projo Katherine Gregg for the info.

I really enjoy playing blackjack because it has the best odds if you play the basic strategy. I tend to play blackjack while gambling over the Internet.

Blackjack is a popular game. That's why they are now raking in the bucks at Twin Rivers. And soon it will be in Newport. You may well see other games develop also.

I’ve always been sceptical about gambling. At University friends did a lot in the casinos in the city and lost a load of cash to some dodgy people and places. But eventually a friend said “Play online casino”, and I agreed to give it a go (after about four hours and debating the risks). So I signed up and played my first game of online casino blackjack, I lost but it was fun! Kept playing and was lucky enough to break even until I got the hang of it!
Has anybody got any tips or any success stories?
