  • I personally like Ameristar; the casino is huge, so there's almost always room at table games, or slots, or the poker room, or whatever. They also offer $5 blackjack and $5 craps all the time, even on weekends, which is nice, and their brewpub beer is pretty decent and like three bucks for a pint. The Hollywood on the Kansas side is the newest one.

Introduction

Skilled blackjack players that are tired of being harassed, backed-off, and read the trespass act (or worse) may find solace in the Kansas City casinos where a card counter cannot be barred. Nor can the casinos enforce a betting limit that is applied unilaterally to a card counter (the limit must apply to the entire table). Both Harrah's and Ameristar were fined for trying to impose such limits.

The casinos in Kansas City are, however, allowed to reduce table limits, reduce penetration, and even preferential shuffle (although only Ameristar uses the preferential shuffle), but these countermeasures are generally applied infrequently and inconsistently. In addition, pit bosses are not particularly skilled or driven to identify and harass card counters as in Las Vegas.

Wot blitz videos. Each vehicle restoration requires one (1) vacant garage slot. Make sure that you have enough in-game currency: credits or gold. The buyback restoration cost, in credits, runs at the selling value plus a 10% fee. Collector vehicles can be restored only for gold. The cost of restoration is equal to the cost of sale.

Logistics

There are four casinos in the greater Kansas City area: Harrah's, Ameristar, Argosy, and Isle of Capri, plus the Frontier Casino in St. Joseph, which is about 50 miles north of Kansas City. The Kansas City casinos are all located in the north side of the K.C. metro area and all within about 15 miles of each other. No two casinos are within 3 miles of each other so that casino hopping is possible, but the logistics are not like Las Vegas or Atlantic City where one can find a casino next door.

Missouri Casino Blackjack Rules

  1. Entrance to the casino requires a player's card. Obtaining a player's card requires a driver's license or equivalent identification. I am not aware of the casinos sharing information regarding card counters with other casinos or with anti-card counter organizations such as Griffin. If you are concerned about withholding your identity, use your player's card to gain entrance, buy your chips at the cage, and then decline the pit bosses offer to rate your play. Your play at the table will then be anonymous.
  2. Casino patrons are allowed a $500.00 maximum buy-in every two-hour block of time. Blocks are on the even hours (6-8, 8-10, 10-12, etc.) This buy-in limit can prove a formidable handicap for the basic strategy player and card counter alike. Get a pair of 8s against a dealer 6, and obviously the correct play is to split. But not if you have already bought in for $500 and do not have any chips left. It does not matter how many Benjamin's you have crammed into your pockets. Money play is prohibited. The buy-in limit is even more problematic for the card counter trying to use a healthy bet spread (say $25-250). The monster count finally comes along, and you only have $300 in chips left (you should keep enough chips for a possible double down, split, or double after split) so you can only justify a $100.00 bet. High-stakes players need to horde chips!
  3. Finally, unlike any other commission, the Missouri Gaming Commission has unambiguously legislated that card counting, not involving a mechanical device, is not illegal, and that the casinos cannot prohibit a skilled card counter from playing blackjack. Do not lose any sleep on behalf of the casinos. The combination of the buy-in limit, generally crowded tables, and mediocre rules effectively deters most of the high-stakes, skilled players. Furthermore, counters that are used to using a modest spread (8:1 on 2 deck) to avoid heat, are able to only gain a small advantage over the house due to the conditions described.

Kansas City Casino Blackjack Conditions

2-deck table minimums are generally $10 or $25 with maximums of $500 or $1000. 6- deck table minimums range from $5-25 with a typical $500 maximum. Other pertinent conditions are summarized in the table below.

All 2-deck games are no mid-shoe entry. Penetration varies by dealer somewhat at each casino, but other than the 2d at Harrah's, one should not expect to ever see exceptional penetration.

RFB (Room, Food, and Beverage) & Other Non BJ Considerations

Newcomers will notice that unlike most gaming markets, alcoholic beverages at the table are not free (they are not even discounted). This shortcoming can be a big negative for some players but should be less of a problem to the card counter who typically drinks lightly or not at all at the tables. All of the casinos have hotels except Isle of Capri. Each casino has a buffet with Argosy and Ameristar being the best. Ameristar is the biggest casino with movie theaters, a concert/show theater, a kids play place, and multiple fast-food and full-service restaurants. Comps at Ameristar, Argosy, and Harrah's are all banked. Comps appear to be slightly more generous than in most casino markets. Harrah's leads the group in promotional offers and give-aways. All four casinos offer decent cash back coupons by mail to regular players.

Conclusion

The conventional wisdom among the card counting circles is that the level of heat is proportional to the quality of the game. Using this adage, the Kansas City casinos should have the worst blackjack in the country. Not true. Although the Kansas City blackjack games have mediocre rules and penetration, the games are more attractive when taking into account the fact that a more aggressive bet spread can be used due to the lack of heat. Be forewarned, however, that the aggressive spread will increase your expected win rate but not without a cost – increased risk. Lots of money can be lost in the short run. But at least the card counter does not have to worry about being barred or backroomed!

blackjack

The classic game in which the player tries to draw to 21, or closer to 21, than the dealer without going over (busting). Each player starts with two cards face up, then is allowed to hit (take another card) or stay (play that hand). The dealer starts with two cards as well, but one is face up and the other face down. Face cards (jack, queen, king) are worth 10, and aces are worth 1 or 11 (player choice). Receiving an ace and a 10 on your first two cards is the lucrative hand known as 'blackjack.' Additional bets like 'splitting' and 'doubling down' are also available on certain hands.

craps

Possibly the most exciting game on the floor, Craps often draws the biggest crowds. The game appears complicated to the newcomer, but the premise is actually quite simple. Players wage money on the outcome of one roll, or a series of rolls, of two dice by the 'shooter.' The game is played in rounds, and the first roll of each new round is called the 'come-out roll.' An array of player bets is available both for the come-out roll, as well as each additional roll, with payouts dependent on the likelihood of each outcome.

Roulette

Perhaps the simplest table game of all. In Roulette, a croupier spins the wheel in one direction, then places and spins a ball in the opposite direction. After a number of revolutions, the ball eventually falls into one of 38 slots. If the ball lands in a number or color where you placed a bet prior to the spin, you win.

Mini-Baccarat

Mini Baccarat is an elegant, simple game to play. You simply make a bet on whether the Player side will win, the Banker side will win, and/or if the hand will end in a Tie. You can also bet on the Dragon Bonus for each the Player and Banker if you think the hand will win 'Naturally' or by a certain point difference.

Fortune 7 Baccarat

Fortune 7 Baccarat is a version of Commission Free baccarat The game play is identical to standard baccarat, with two exceptions. Banker bets push if they win with a three-card total of seven and winning banker bets are not charged a commission.

The game features two optional side bets, Fortune 7 and One Up. There is one betting spot per position for Fortune 7 and one betting spot per position for One Up (player only).

5 treasures baccarat

5 Treasures Baccarat™ is played the same way as traditional baccarat without modifying any of the existing drawing rules of the standard game. 5 Treasures Baccarat offers four separate optional bonus wagers and one that will cover all four of the bonus wagers.

Cajun Stud

Cajun Stud is a five-card poker game that offers three exciting bonus wagers for players to win big. You are one Ante away from hitting the jackpot!

Heads Up Hold 'Em

Players wage head-to-head against the dealer, in this fun twist to the classic game of Texas Hold'em. With the extra bonuses for betting, Heads Up Hold'em is one of the most thrilling games to play in St. Louis!

pai gow poker

Pai Gow Poker was created using elements of the ancient Chinese game Pai Gow and the popular American game of Poker. To begin, each player receives seven cards. The object is for the player to create two poker hands out of the seven cards: a five-card poker hand and a two-card poker hand. To win, both the player's high hand and the second hand must be higher than the bank hands to win. If only one hand is higher, the result is a tie. If both hands are lower, the player loses.

Three Card poker

Easy to learn and fun to play, Three-Card Poker has gained enormous popularity in casinos. The game actually consists of two games: Ante-and-Play (in which you play the dealer to see who has the highest hand) and PairPlus (in which you simply wager on whether or not you'll be dealt a pair or better).

For Ante-and-Play, the player places an 'ante' (bet) before receiving his cards. The cards are then dealt, and the player can fold and lose the ante or raise by placing a bet of equal money to the ante. If he chooses to play, one of three things can happen. Buffalo bills resort & casino rides. The first is that the dealer does not qualify (have a hand of queen high or better) and the ante is paid out even money while the play bet is returned to the player. If the dealer does qualify, the player wins if his hand ranks higher than the dealer's, resulting in a payout of even money on the ante and the play bets. If the dealer has the higher hand, the dealer takes both the ante and the play bets.

High Card Flush

High Card Flush is the only non-blackjack table game to come along that is non-poker based. It is suits-based and requires no knowledge of poker to play. Flush: Compare your Flush to the paytable for great odds.*

Straight Flush: Win big with a Straight Flush. The larger the Straigh Flush, the more you win!*

Ante: Win when your Flush is higher than the Dealer, or if the Dealer doesn't qualify.

Raise: Make up to 3X your Ante wager, depending upon your Flush. The better your hand, the more you can wager! (Dealer must qualify to win).

*The Flush and Straight Flush wagers are independent of the outcome of the Ante and Raise.
