Electronic Blackjack At Casinos
Penn National Gaming casinos across the country will begin offering new installations of electronic blackjack games. The nationwide casino operator recently signed a partnership with Interblock. The gaming manufacturer and electronic table game (ETG) is the market leader.
Electronic table games are a great way to play your favorite games. Choose live dealt or fully-automated games. Earn points while you play. Enjoy lower betting limits than our traditional table games. Keep track of the latest trends and place your bets from the comfort of your terminal. This is where to play electronic casino. Video blackjacks machines will often have a lower minimum bet than the table games. Some video blackjack games will have a minimum bet of as little as $1. At higher-end casinos, the minimum bet.
Interblock is one of the electronic table game manufacturers that you’ll most often see in casinos. Their products appear in casinos all over the world.
The new partnership between Penn National and Interblock will include installations at more than 20 casinos across the United States. The deal also guarantees Penn National Gaming casinos exclusivity on newly released products.
Interblock’s product portfolio will allow Penn National to offer Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette and Craps in an array of formats. Interblock games include standalone automated games, video machines, bartops and live and/or automated stadiums and Pulse Arenas.
Indiana and Ohio First To Get New Games
Hollywood Lawrenceburg (Indiana), Ameristar East Chicago (Indiana) and Hollywood Toledo (Ohio) will be the first Penn National Gaming casinos to see the new games. Each property will install Interblock’s Diamond Stadiums.
The Diamond Stadiums are customizable to work with the customer base and unique floorplan at each casino. Similar to other stadium gaming installations an unlimited number of player stations can be connected to a single table. The number of dealers will depend on the games offered.
Configured with dealer assist tables, automated generators and/or video generators the different stadiums provide multi-hand Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette and Craps games to guests from a single station. One of the unique abilities of these games is that casino operators are able to turn a dealer assist table into an automated stadium with the touch of a button during non-peak hours.
“We’ve long been fans of Interblock’s electronic table games products and are pleased to be able to offer them at more than 20 of our company’s leading properties,” said Dan Cherry, Vice President of Gaming Operations for Penn National Gaming.

Electronic Blackjack and Stadium Blackjack
There was sort of a boom in electronic blackjack and stadium blackjack in 2017. Video mania, so to speak, slowed down in 2018 since so many casinos had the new games. There aren’t too many large casino operators that don’t already have deals in place for this kind of game.
The electronic and stadium installations perform differently at all casinos. Sometimes the games are an option for a game with a lower minimum bet than live dealer blackjack. There are also casinos that just need to maximize space and the installations can help with that.
Virtual Blackjack At Casinos
Casino operators love electronic blackjack and stadium blackjack because the games help reduce expenses like paying multiple dealers. Gusts at casinos like this option because the table games might be intimidating or limits might be lower than games with live dealers.
Electronic Roulette At Casinos
I don't have nearly enough experience to actually think I would be able to play a +EV game, let alone one from an electronic blackjack. So I assumed I would probably lose the hundred I went in with.
From what I've learned so far I'm guessing the rules were very very bad. 6 decks 2/3 pen, H17, double any two cards, surrender (late I assume). It didn't say double after split so I'll assume thats a no?
I wasn't sure how the shuffling worked on the electronic machine but they had a dealer change on the screen after awhile so my guess was that that was the marking spot for it.
Because it's electronic I could probably get away with wonging in and out very aggressively, and betting as big a spread as my bankroll can allow. Is this a fair assumption? Even on the off chance I do get kicked it's not a big deal.
I suppose I could actually just play when the count is high enough to equal +EV, I really don't know whether there is any risk of heat or not from these things.
What are your thoughts? Is the dealer change marking the shuffle (felt like it we played more then 4 decks before a swap, I don't have much of a feel for this yet though). Assuming it is and I only play on high positive counts do you think I could beat it? Odds are the shuffle is hidden so that would make things pretty tough, is there anyway around it if it is?
The rules suck and the pen is terrible so my guess is that the only way I could win is by only playing positive counts, and then it would be smart to play table min ($2) because my bank roll is way too small.
The table limits were $2-$200 btw, maybe that helps a little if I can afford a max bet that high.
Anyways, whether my game today was -EV or +EV (probably -, I didn't play very well) I still walked about with $1 more then I came in with. Yeah for positive variance xD
