I recently played a game for a couple of weeks called Triple Shot. Triple Shot is a combination of war, blackjack, and (6 card) poker. It was offered on the Majestic Empress out of John's Pass but it was discontinued due to lack of play. I would like to find a casino somewhere that offers this game. Preferably in Biloxi/Gulfport but will go anywhere in US. Thanks.
I've played it once in my past as a cover ploy but that casino doesn't offer it anymore.
What is it about that game that motivates you to be so willing to travel far to play it? Maybe you know something I don't. Has it changed? As I know it, the D shuffles each time prior to putting out bets in the 3 circles.
Not sure of your interest in this game but fortunately the Majesty replaced it with a "real " BJ game . However on my earliest trip of the year to Biloxi-Gulfport in Jan ,the Beau Rivage had the game .The table had no action and the dealer (who I knew ) just chuckled about the game . Just checked the Beau's website and there was no mention of the game.
I even brought home a copy of the rules of the game to show some of the dealers on the Sun Cruz yet one more bastardization of the game of BJ.
Give the Beau a call ,they may still have the game just don't list it on their site
I think the game is one of Shuffle Masters . As a last resort give them a call ,they should know who is paying for the game . Good luck and good cards .
I know someone who had some success at that game before they took it out. He may even have been one reason they discontinued the game. He made a 95 profit playing 5x3 per round over a 7 hour period and in one hand Ed the pit boss saw his life flash before his eyes when he caught a 10JQK of diamonds in the first 4 cards (for a potential 2500 hit on a royal flush) but only ended up with a flush. When he plays "real" blackjack he wongs behind the table and waits for hit +16 or whatever and jump in.
This game is a single deck game that allows double down on all hands. This person plays at 3rd base when there are 3 or more other players present. His strategy is to see as many cards as possible and use a superior playing strategy to optimize his double downs and stiff decisions. So far he has been able to use the blackjack to overcome the disadvantage of the other games. Also, the poker gives the player the opportunity to win a lot of money in a single hand that he won't get at real blackjack.
If you've been on the boats there much you probably know who I'm talking about.
Say DdWT02, did Sun Cruz dock that Johns Pass boat somewhere else on the west coast ? Clearwater or New Port Richey ?
Hey ,Frank they really upgraded from the boat we went on to a much bigger(almost too big for John's Pass ) and nicer boat(food the same ) from the east coast . They are trying to set up a new location in the John's Pass area most likely using a shuttle boat system . I think the boat is docked somewhere in Tampa until the can figure out what to do .They sent all the customers an ad inviting them to Cape Canaveral until they can get up and running again .
Another group planned a big ship out of downtown St Pete ,that's only about a year past due with the ship (supposedly )in some shipyard in Europe or the Mid-East. As with everything else there is always grandiose plans and little to back it up .
Good luck and good cards to all for the New Year!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, have you tried the other boat which showed up for the last three days we were there in May. Next year it will be 15-23 May.
Seems like everything changes-if you like it.
Actually went on the Majesty (new boat )6 times in a row between June and July (3 wins ,3 losses ). Then Sun Cruz started sending me extra match plays in July and then the new Sun Cruz (nicest boat ever on west coast ) came in Aug so I just got in the habit of going back there until they left. Went on the Majesty 2 times in Nov(both wins ,"Lady Luck " ) ,but just haven't been out since .Made a trip to Gulfport around Thanksgiving and that always spoils me for a while.
The Majesty is actually the identical hull as the Sun Cruz you and I went on in 2002 just set up different inside . Looks a little better ,not as worn and tattered .They run a little slower so it takes about hour and 10 min each way . BJ has same rules as Sun Cruz ,except no LS on $5 game .This could have changed since my last trip.First 2 trips in June they were hand shuffling with good pen ,then they got the shuffle masters in and pen decreased .Was suprised the 2 trips in Nov that it wasn't more crowded with only 1 boat left .
Can't type ,worn out
You did not cover players cards and if they honor those from land
casinos. The CSMs are not good news; but maybe SC will re-establish before May. That location is only 4 miles from the time share. Really do appreciate the info.
Didn't mean to mis-lead you Frank ,they don't use CSMs ,just the traditional shuffle-master machines . Booth closed for tonight ,but there's lots of time between now and May to check about players cards . Probably another company or 2 by then.
