		<description>I just lost my 750L I&#039;ve been saving for quite a while.
Yeah, it&#039;s not as much as you lost. xD But for me, as a newbie. &gt;_&lt; It&#039;s horrible. I was saving up for a skin and saw this machine and started to bet more, and suddenly I had 0L left. Gah.

		<description>U can hold low as much u like u will eventually loose alot.

Thing is the rythmn changes during play, at start u might get 20k from a casino starting with just 800 linden, but even if u think u burst 80% the time when hit on 12 then if u stand dealer will win too, u get those cards u cant win no matter what u do.

And those cards are delt to u after a good while of play escpecially if u have won some earlier... the casino works like that they put out a BAIT, giving people a hope for winning
big money sort of fast.  Then after a while of play u will loose all and trying to get those back u will loose more...  If u quit playing after a short while after just won some, then when u get back to that brand of casino, and try your luck again u will be unlucky that day.  I dont think there exist any player in SL that with the same AV have try winning money and kept playing and winning, If that has happen which it should occasionally with all those players, then that must be the only casino that has random cards.

		<description>it&#039;s not at that casino, but it busts on 12 an awful lot. I&#039;ve bought machines that talk about how the code has been fixed to be more fair. Some have ways of helping to ensure the casino doesn&#039;t loose too much money.

I play a little, but i know it&#039;s not likely to be productive.

I lost a few thousand once after winning nearly as much, that&#039;s about it, there are moments when you can make a few 1000 and leave. Some of the games that bust on 12 often may have math problems, I think i saw someone taking advantage of that and winning alot, I started working on trying to make the dealer bust by playing it&#039;s own game. I hold low if i think the dealer is likely to try to beat me and that seems to work

one good thing is the poorly programmed games may be vulnerable to analysis of the game it plays/ more so than any RL game ever was ( again no review = no quality control )

		<description>Neil Claxton wrote :::   I know of a certain blackjack game where nearly every time you play if you get above 12 and hit you bust 80% of the time.



That wouldnt be the gold rush one would it???

Well there are statistics u can count on, if u say u got 12 and u wanna hit..

Then in RL at a multiple deck card game u can only bust if u get 10,Kn,Q,K.  Thats 4 cards
out of a 13 card deck, so the chance for u to burst is 4/13 aprox 31% chance.

If u feel everytime u hit on 12 u burst or u feel u burst 80% the times then for sure its
a cheat machine.

Look at this internet page for best play with multiple deck card:

http://www.blackjacktactics.com/blackjack/strategy/charts/multiple-deck/

But dont play in any Second life Casino i got a 90% feeling they all cheat and a 100% feeling that Gold Rush is a cheating casino...
