suspicion of cheating in bighorn casino

Hi,

I visited bighorn casino in nort las vegas and after 3 shoes i started to feel that somting is wrong. the count was positiv all the time. after 10 shoes i was sure that there are mising card with the value of ten and ace.

The count in the end of the shoe was always between 10 - 20 plus.

I ask the menager to see the card (i was alone on the table), and he say - no. when i ask for a reason, he say "because i say so".

I left with a bad feeling and not recommend going there.

records indicate that I am above expectation at Bighorn for this year. I don't play there often because it is hard to get any kind of real money down, plus I am not crazy about the area, so my results are based on just under 300 rounds. I certainly wouldn't attempt to draw any conclusions from such a small sample size.

I would just say that if you are really convinced of your claim, you should file a complaint with the Nevada Gaming Commission.

Your claim seems unlikely to me for two reasons. One, Bighorn doesn't get that much action on blackjack. If caught, the penalty for this action would be much greater than what it was worth. Second, Bighorn's clientele is made up of almost all local. The type of players that visit every week or even everyday. It wouldn't take long for these players to suspect they were being cheated and then they would have no clientele. Again, the risk is not worth the reward.

But, when there is a very small circle of people involved in the operation, such as there is a bighorn, anything is possible.

Outright cheating in Nevada is very rare.
There is a little cheating that takes place
on Sovereign Lands, especially in California.

Casinos do not have much motivation to cheat
you, as you are, in all likelihood, a very light player.

good the game is.

If you do a few calculations, as I'm sure you did, you'll see how good these rules are. Very good game, imho, at small-to-mid limits. The D3 creates some possibilities. Worst part is small shop, where the pit boss is staring right at you.

Played at Big/Longhorn over a week recently. Results were ok. Several +$ sessions, a few -$ runs. So, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

I like playing there. Good rules, low pressure. Only negatives I can think of:

1) Lower-end casinos, so a lot of smoke.
2) Incredibly hi # of personnel for just 2 tables. How many people does it take to run a 21 table?
3) Caters more to recreational locals. So, bets of $50+ open their eyes. I can't imagine a 21 sharp lasting too long here.
