  • Live Session at Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, CA.
    Blackjack in California is NOT for the faint of heart. The Commerce Casino (my favorite in Los Angeles) invited me to record a blackjack session... the following video documents what happened to me.
    Special thanks to ‪@kierolovesyou‬ for recording this, but please subscribe to him so he can afford a camera that doesn't breakdown in the middle of a session.... (SPOILER)

      It’s a great illustration on why people are leaving California in droves to get away from the tyrannical govt they’ve willingly put in place. Sure it’s only a dollar a hand on a blackjack game here, but it clearly shows how extra taxation forces people to up and move. If there was a black jack table next door that didn’t have this tax everyone would go there. Now times this scenario by a billion and you have why businesses of all sizes are leaving California. To cover costs they raise the tax even more until it’s impossible to profit. Thanks Casino King for illustrating this simple concept many don’t understand.

      They do it in California because the house isn’t banking the game. The games are player banked. If you notice there’s another player sitting at the table with racks of chips but they’re not receiving cards. The dealer either slides the losing bets to that designated player or uses the chips from the designated player to pay out the winning bets. The only profit the house gets is that ante. I’m in Florida and we have poker rooms that use a similar structure for table games. However in our games the designated player pays the rake, not the players who are actually playing the game.

    y'all keep allowing this foolishness because you keep playing. We already lost the battle to the 6/5 BJ (i don't mind the auto shuffler as i have had several pb on those; 8-12 wins in a ROW) payouts but to allow this is criminal. California is a lost cause as those that are there are mentally challenged in letting things get like this. But as a Content creator you have options and a great platform. politely decline places like this. This isn't a matter of the faint of heart... this is the Stupid and the not Stupid and paying an ante/rake/commish on Blackjack puts you in the former category.

      Banker button. Each player has the option to play as the banker and that rotates around the table - but if you do your ante goes up to $3 per hand - at a table with multiple players this is a great deal especially if they are bad players. At a table when he is playing alone there is no one to bank against. In that case you can "buy" action which means you pay the house $5 additional and they will bet $100 dollars against and you will be the banker. The problem with that on top of the 5% fee is that they will play perfect strategy.
