![]() I didn’t play Buster Blackjack but maybe I’ll give the game a try after I do some analysis. The only way you could analyze a strategy would be to write a computer simulation. If you are counting cards, for regular Blackjack you want the deck to hold mostly high cards (8, 9, 10, Ace) and very few low cards (2, 3, 4, 5) but if you’re betting that the dealer will bust, you want the deck to have low cards so that a busted hand will have more cards in it and give you a higher payout. The payoffs at the MGM Grand hotel and casino where I was are: If the dealer busts with three or more cards (say she has a King and a Five, then draws an Eight), you win 1 to 1 ($5). Players may place a Buster Blackjack Bet wager for each base game wager placed. The side bet is independent (so you can win the buster bet even if you bust yourself) and you win if the dealer busts (goes over 21). The object of the game is for the dealer to bust. The game is basically regular Blackjack, but on each hand you can bet $5 on an optional side bet. On a recent trip I saw a new variant of Blackjack called Buster Blackjack. When I was young I loved all kinds of card games, and I’m still fascinated by them. One of the things I love about Las Vegas is the constant innovation - every trip I see new restaurants, new kinds of entertainment, and new games. Most of the technical conferences I speak at are in Las Vegas.
