Great game of blackjack

14/02/2008 by Alex.

Finished £170 up on the £5 blackjack tables at the Empire in Leicester Square yesterday - Woo Hoo!! Always good to beat the casino and although I took a couple of small risks I played consistently throughout and was never really down at any point. Perfect blackjack! I even lent the person I was with £20 who managed to work that into £200 so the table was certainly playing well for us.

 One of the things I want to point out is the dealer we had was awesome. He genuinely raised the atmosphere at the table and made into a great game as well as an entertaining experience; I also got a genuine feeling he was wanting us to beat the house. At one point a Chinese lady joined our blackjack table making it a total of 4 people playing, I was playing 3 boxes at that point and she just wouldn’t shut up saying it would be luckier if I played just one making the total four and having a go at people if they asked for a card or stuck when it didn’t benefit here. She was obviously a regular at the casino but the dealer didn’t let her shit go and immediately told her to be quiet not ruin the fun atmosphere and smiles at the table….Just the sort of dealer I needed after quite a few glasses of wine.

 The dealers name was Joe and I believe was from up north somewhere so if you go in there look for him and say hi - The only ridiculous and annoying thing is that you can’t tip the dealers in The Empire so we wern’t able to express our thanks to him with chips….what a load of rubbish!!

Happy Blackjack playing
