While in Vegas for my brother's 21st birthday we played blackjack of course and there was one table that we played that had a wierd side bet. There is this wheel mounted to the table and if you hit a blackjack with a sidebet of $1 out then you get to spin the wheel (it's electronic). I'm pretty sure this game was dealt out of a shoe but has anyone seen this bet on a one or two deck game? I could see how this game could be totally abused by counting if offered on a single deck game by using hi-optI and a side count of aces which is what I'm working on.
I see two problems with this though, first is finding a table with this and single deck for the sake of reasoning I'll say this exhists but please let me know if it doesn't. Secondly someone who occasionally makes the side bet and hits it more often than not will surely raise suspicion. Do most ploppies that play this option play it religiously or do they randomly place the side bets. By the way I'm not sure if it's called Wheel of Madness but that seems to be what I remember. Also I was the only one that wasn't making the side bet at the table and I only got one blackjack while my brother who loved that stupid wheel got about 7 blackjacks in the same session.
