They are really pushing this blackjack sh-t. I guess the $2 million per day they are clearing in rake isn't enough.

This is simply going to cripple some degenerates. Someone is going to empty their bank account, end up 22nd at the end, and kill themself.

I used to play in a small cardroom that had good games and a nice clientele. Then they got blackjack, and it didn't take very long before the poker games started to deteriorate. Then they took out some poker tables so they could have more blackjack tables.

The other problem was that poker players would get up from the game and take a break by playing blackjack. It would leave the games short, and the blackjack pit would get all the money.

You know where I'm going with this.
