Tournament seats are non-transferable. Blackjack pay 2 to 1 No insurance offered. Players may not miss a hand – if a player is absent, the minimum bet will be places, and the band will be played as is. The dealer button will move each hand in elimination rounds – the button must act first. In case of a tie, one hand will be played, utilizing a secret bet. Suited Blackjack Prize Anytime a player gets a sutied blackjack, they will choose an envelope with a random prize. Note: yellow power button does not qualify for suited blackjacks. Power Buttons All registered players will receive two power buttons. Power buttons can be used anytime during the first two rounds of Day 1. Yellow “Ace” Button Button may be used only once per player. Must be placed next to bet, before the start of the hand. The dealer will deal cards to all players, as normal. The dealer will place the player’s yellow “Ace” button on their 1st card. That card will now be counted as an ace, and play will resume as normal. The dealer will place the used “Ace” button in the tray. Purple “No Bust” Button Button may be used only once per player. Button may NOT be used on double down hands. When a player busts, they may use their purple “No Bust” button. The dealer will remove the bust card only, and that player’s hand is complete (the player must stand on what they had prior to the bust card being dealt). Play will resume as normal. The dealer will place the used “No Bust” button in the tray.
Thanks Lakegirl. This surprised me, but I like it. I know you will do your best at getting people there, and I plan to do the same. Billy C
Yes luckily Todd does a search in internet of blackjack tournaments and just stumbled across it. I was hoping they would have emailed us. Sent to my list. We should collaborate an email list some time. I have several email addresses of MN and WI locals.
I entered this event yesterday. All interested call (877) ISL-SHOW Can get room there for $50 (mention code: 11488) Billy C
No one posted a report about the November event. I hope that doesn't mean that our members didn't fare well!
I can only speak for myself. I played a total of 3 times (original entry and two rebuys) and my cards got worse each time so I bolted after the last beatdown. I'm quite sure that Lakegirl, Todd and Stu all advanced to, at least, the second round. Maybe one of them will chime in. Billy C
Hello i was lucky to get 5th. It was a fight. Our friend Wayne got 1st. I did not know the others. The casino posted on their facebook page.
