Today I received an email from MS asking if I wanted to receive email announcements from them.
I have noticed radio advertising for $3 blackjack all day every day, and then the email.
They're really trying to raise their profile, now if they could just get some games to play and slot benefits it might be worth the drive.
MAJOR FINE PRINT in the $3 BJ offer. (I would consider it false
advertising!) To play $3 BJ you must make at least a $2 BJ bet and a $1
Lucky Ladies side bet. The 8 deck game which this applies to has a basic
strategy disadvantage of about 0.68%. The side bet carries a 24.09% house
edge. (I did the calculation when Lucky Ladies was first offered at the MS
and wondered if I calculated it right. I then went to the wizardofodds.com
website and found the exact same number.) So the play as indicated gives a
basic strategy player a disadvantage of about 25.45 cents per play while a
$10 BJ bet at the same table has about a 6.8 cent disadvantage.
