Best and Worst Blackjack Hands

/in , , , , , , , /by

What’s The Best Blackjack Starting Cards?

Everybody’s ideal hand in blackjack is 21 right away. After all, being dealt 21 on your first two cards automatically wins you the hand (provided the dealer doesn’t have blackjack) and nets you either a 3:2 or 6:5 payout. So if you bet $10 under 3:2 payout rules, you’d collect a £15 profit.

Unfortunately, we can’t rely on being dealt a natural blackjack too often. In a standard 6-deck game, you only have a 4.75% chance of being dealt a natural. That said, you’ll be dealing with a large variety of hands while trying to improve your score and beat the dealer. And here’s a look at the best and worst among the bunch.

 

Best Starting Hands

Two Aces – Why not start off with the chance to have two great hands in one round!? Split this one every time because you have an excellent opportunity to win both hands.

11 – The great thing about being dealt an 11 is that you’re just one 10-value card away from hitting 21. And even if you don’t get a 10-value card, 7, 8 or 9 still leave you in pretty good position. When your cards are 11, it’s recommended that you double down every time, except for when the dealer has an ace.

10 – This is another hand where you double down in most situations, save for when the dealer has a 10 or an ace. Speaking of the latter, if you’re lucky enough to get an ace, you will hit 21.

 

Worst Starting Hands

16 – The problem with 16 is that the dealer is supposed to hit until they at least reach 17. Of course, the dealer will bust out trying to do this sometimes, but more often they won’t. What’s worse is that when you hit to try and get a better score, you stand a good chance of busting out.

15 – This is yet another hand that puts you in a poor position to win because your score isn’t very high, yet you might bust out by hitting. For this reason, it’s definitely a good idea to grab a blackjack strategy chart and make the correct moves so you avoid being put in these situations.

Charity Fun Casino Event

/in , , , /by

Weston Hospice Care Charity Fundraising

Held on the 20th September 2014

We are delighted to be asked to supply a charity fun casino event for this brilliant charity night. It’s happening at the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare on Saturday 20th September. All funds raised will go to Weston Hospice Care so please book a table and bring friends and family.

How to raise money at a fun casino

The very best way to raise money for a charity is to sell the fun money we give you. You can of course factor the cost of the casino into your ticket price and give the fun money away. However, by far the most effective way is to sell the fun money and give the highest roller a good prize at the end of the gaming session. Worried about breaking the law?

https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/  

The Gambling Act 2005 allows you to host a fun casino for charitable or non-commercial purposes without a licence. If you are not playing for real money and prizes are awarded for winners that do not exceed £600 total value, then you won’t need a licence.

With Christmas all over bar the shouting (and still a bit of eating and drinking to endure no doubt) we look forward to one of our busiest nights of the year for #funcasinos.

All over the southwest, #Acesfuncasinos will be helping to create the right atmosphere for #NYEparties. It’s always a great night, with people enjoying the last night of the year and casino tables are always in high demand. What makes the casino night so special perhaps is the thought of trying your luck – and whether ‘lady luck’ will be smiling on you, not just on the last night of the year but hopefully on into 2014. Here’s wishing all our friends; past present and future customers a very Happy – and Lucky – New Year.

That said, the #Celticmanor party-goer above may have been pushing his luck just a little too far!

Grand Pier Casino Royale

#Weston #Pier #Casino #Royale parties – have to be the BEST place to be if you’re looking for great food and a brilliant party atmosphere. Is it because it’s nearly Christmas or just that being on the pier puts you in a happy mood? Perhaps a combination of both but the three nights we were asked to supply a fun casino for them were exceptional. great atmosphere, great food and service – and all on Weston’s most famous landmark. Enought to put anyone in a good mood. Roulette and blackjack tables were busy as soon as dinner was over. Mostly local businesses and their staff parties. At one point we had a ‘battle of the banks’ as every one on one of our blackjack tables worked in either Lloyds, Nat West or Nationwide. The hands down (literally) winners were Lloyds.  Great nights! Roll on next year – I hope we’ll be asked back to do it all over again.

Casinos at Christmas

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

BawabestgroupWell, the month of madness is upon us and we are flat out with Christmas parties – corporate events, private parties and even the odd wedding celebration! In the 25 years or so that fun casinos have been around, those that have experienced them have helped spread the word. Any party would benefit from a little gaming. It is THE  perfect ice breaker – not to mention a brilliant alternative for the reluctant dancer to while away his time playing  on the gaming table as opposed to awkward gyrations on the dance floor. Strangely enough, there are still some out there that have never been to a fun casino let alone a real one. Once again, the fun casino helps out by giving people a casino experience, showing them how to play and how to avoid any embarassing faux pas (like betting red and black at the same time on roulette for example) but without the risk of losing any money. Of course it’s not just the men that enjoy a flutter, young ladies, older ladies – of any age, will feel the thrill of placing a bet and as the games are purely games of chance, no skill is involved. Learning the basics takes no time at all. We at Aces, love our Christmas parties and do everything we can to help make them a night to remember. If you happen to be at one of our fun casino events in Bristol, Cardiff, Weston super Mare, Shepton Mallet, Bath and so many more, then here’s hoping Lady Luck will be with you.
