[Blindtlk] question about card games

[Jasmine Kotsay]

Hi,
I have had experience with a casino. I was able to play the game blackjack, and the dealer told me what I had instead of me looking at my cards. She was very communicative, and it worked out perfectly. I had a lot of fun, and would do it again if I had the chance. Hope this helps!

Also depending on the dealer you get some of those dealers are border line nasty and make that nastiness part of their act.  Card playing in casinos is a very low probability activity for anyone hoping to win too.

There is a slight variation in when those colors come up and you take advantage of that variation when you do that.  Finally observe gambling economics. Keep play money separate from bus money at all times and add a percentage of winnings to bus money regularly.  Good luck, I'll be interested to know how well Fortuna favors you.  Oh, maybe you've heard of a character called Lady Luck, well that has since the Romans had an Empire also been known as the Goddess Fortuna and many a gambler since then has offered up a few prayers to her.
