re: virtual blackjack tables from the other day. It's all about more hands dealt per hour (with a minor in customers not having to tip dealers) - zork Nov 5, 07:00 4
- here, it really is that having the dealer is illegal still, but the video version can technically get lumped in with slots. - TFox Nov 5, 07:04 3
  - noted. although they may not have been developed in the first place if they didn't think AC and LV would buy them -- nm - zork Nov 5, 07:08 2
    - If these guys hadn't developed it; LV & AC woulda done so themselves in some form. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 07:19 1
      - they don't lose all those costs since they will have to have higher paid techs or pay a service contract, but yes, less dealers is better for them and - zork Nov 5, 07:23

        It depends on what she expects from it. If it's to discover new cultures and go places not many people go, it could be very interesting - Guigue Nov 5, 07:06

        expansion? could the moves of the Dodgers and Giants have made a difference? -- nm - zork Nov 5, 07:14 1
        
        Nope. More than likely its that from 1920-1965, they had the best talent and with no free agency; talent stuck and won. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 07:26
