Been playing on Bovada and it just seems like I can’t beat the dealer, I don’t have this much trouble in real life...

Well guys it turnt out that I didn’t learn my lesson. That 300 I was down by has now turnt to about 800 down. Fml I am so angry at myself. Evolution gaming needs to be fucking banned. It’s criminal the things they get away with. Bots on blackjack tables hitting on 20s, breaks on the wheel on crazy time and so much more.
I understand that it is myself that’s the problem I do get that. But fuck me how are these things legal. Literally sat here thinking about what I could of done with that money instead. Invested in a course to learn, holiday, new clothes.
Now I’m down and out they send me bonus spins and deposit bonuses.
Well go and fuck yourselves.
I’m honestly foaming from the mouth rn.
I don’t want to go back (So I say for now). It really is just fucking with me. I’m losing much more the time, my sanity is going.
Honestly I could kill someone right now.
Sorry for the over the top rant and I know some of use have lost tons more but I expect the feeling is the same. As for some online sites are really do think they need to be penalised and audited much more because it’s honestly rigged to fuck.
I have written this on my note pad just to remind future self what I felt like before....

Im am dumbfounded to learn that it is not actually a violation of egaming licensees to use rigged decks. I recently witnessed a glitch during a blackjack game where the the values of cards that had not been drawn yet were being shown ahead of time. This of course means that the house knows what cards are to come in the shoe . This is accomplished by using cards with RFID tags in them . Shockingly , as was explained to me indirectly, this is not considered malpractice!?!?!?!. SO long as the cards are shuffled , this is enough to produce "random" outcomes which is the governing policy of online gaming. Props to these guys working the system i guess

Curious, not sure if anyone else has tried it yet - but Alberta has green-lit their version of governemnt-run online casinos.
I completely understand that casinos are 100% random, and I certainly ONLY play games for fun as I love blackjack and a bit of roulette. But my feelings are this platform just feels so incredibly rigged and like there is NO random chance at all to it - it feels like they're still experimenting with it - it's like they paid out too much and need to collect money from users.
Anyone else play and have similar experiences?

EDIT : Thanks to everybody for pointing out the few mistakes/improvements that can be made in this new-player level guide.
For the sake of summarizing here :
- Intel documents are NOT worth 250k. I didn't check them on the flea before writing this and for some reason I always remembered them at 250k. Game is in maintenance so I can't check the real price. That being said, it's still profitable to craft USB into Intel, it's just not x2 profitable.
- Scav case : moonshine / intel docs, some people seem to say they've never been profitable. I personally *did not* measure those, I eyeballed it. I'm working on so much shit that I didn't bother. On average I think that I'm in a net positive, but it's as believable as people saying they're not : without proof we can't really say for sure. That bein said, it's certainly more profitable to run lower-tier scav runs that are *faster* when you're online, and to run a moonshine or intel when you log off. It's more efficient to get a lot of runs while you can re-start them every time.
- Crafting moonshine : It's not profitable to spam it ; I was under the assumption that the average player who will read this will usually not play for 4-5 hours straight and will end up collecting yesterday's moonshine, craft a new one, and that's it. If that's you're rythm then yes, spam it. If you intend to play more than one craft worth's of time, then you will craft moonshine faster than you can spend it, and it's not really worth to sell it on the flea except to up your market reputation for a small loss (about 10k). So in short : craft moonshine to be able to start a moonshine run for when you log off, but you don't *need* more than that.

Here is some actual data on the lavatory !!
​
Hey everybody !
​
I know it can be a struggle to get a stable economy in this game, especially when you die a lot. Today I'm gonna try and give a few guidelines on how to make money safely, efficiently, fast, or in any other way we can think of.
If you're struggling to stay above the 15-20 million rouble treshold, this guide is definitely for you.
Very often I'll hear newer players say "Damn I can't seem to make money, I keep loosing. Every time I take gear I die instantly". There is some truth in that. Today I'll help you improve your survival rate, but most importantly I'll unbalance the other side of the equation. When you complain about losing a lot of money, I will help you spend less by a significant margin, as well as earn more. You'll also get rid of gear fera naturally.
Remember this throughout this very, very long read : It all depends on how you want to play, and how much. Some of these tips will not fit how you want to play the game, and like Nikita always says : this game is supposed to be fun before anything else.
​

1. Hideout

Safety Score : 100%
Reward : Moderate but very stable.
Maxing your hideout should be one of your top priorities, probably before telling your mom how much you love her every now and then. If you're not doing either of those, the big gamer in you knows what to do.
Early wipe, save your fuel for when you're online and playing. If you're playing, your generator should definitely be running and all your stations should be crafting something.
Once you have Medstation 1, Workbench 1 and Lavatory 2, you really have no reason to turn your generator off when you're playing.
Once you have the bitcoin farm, you should never turn off the generator.
Medstation :
Craft salewas and/or IFAKs permanently. They cost 8k and sell for 15k. That's a net profit of about 25k / hour for salewas, as well as never having to buy any.
Lavatory :
Always be crafting Bleach. If you have 2 empty blue fuel, use those empty cans to craft a Magazine case.
You can then keep the magazine cases until you've enough for your liking and sell those for a good profit.
The bleach you will use to buy the 6B47 helmets which are better than the SSh-68 helmets. Buying from 2x bleach barter at ragman level 1 means you get the helmet for 18k (instead of 33k on the market). This helmet has better head coverage, less slow/negative effects, less weight, has a slot for a mount, has +11 ergonomics AND is cheaper than the 22k SSh-68. That being said, it has a slight noise reduction that the Ssh does not have. If you wear headphones I'd say this is negligible but debatable. I prefer to have the extra protection and ergonomics for sure, considering it's slightly cheaper.
​
You can also barter for that helmet and instantly sell it back for a profit (five times) and level up ragman money requirements.
Bleach can also be traded for the Blackjack backpack at level 4, as well as the TTV rig at level 2. You should definitely do it.
Sell excess bleach on the flea market when the prices are around 10.5k or more. (around midnight Central European Time).
Workbench :
You can buy Power Cords and craft Wires forever and always make a profit. Buy in the morning and sell in the evening for better profits (CET timezone). For even more profit, you can craft gunpowders and ammo which tend to also be ridiculously pricy at night.
Buying grenades from Peacekeeper and crafting green (Eagle) gunpowder is a good way to make a lot of money and level up Peacekeeper.
Intel Center :
You main objective is to get this one to level 3 for reduced fees and better quest rewards, but also access to the bitcoin farm at level 2.
If you need FiR for quests, craft that. When you're done craft Intel Documents at all times (buy the USB), and use it for scav case or sell for a x2 profit. ( 3x40 for USB = 120, documents sell for 250)
Bitcoin Farm :
Once you have it, spend all your money on GPU until its maxxed, then level it up even more. The BTC farm is definitely worth it. At 50GPU you need to connect every 15 hours to clic. If you can't, keep it level 2 and connect every 24 hours to clic. Even at level 1 its worth. But its much, much faster at higher levels.
From 0 to 50 GPUs it takes about 30 days to pay for itself. GPUs should not be sold until you maxxed it.
Water Collector :
Must be running at all times. Buy the components if you don't have them.
Booze Generator :
Must be running at all times. Buy the components if you don't have them.
Scav Case :
Always have it running on moonshine, and use intel documents once you're done crafting one.
Nutrition Unit :
It's not really worth crafting sugar to put in the Booze gen, as the price for chocolate is pretty much = the price of sugar. So buy the sugar instead and craft something else. I tend to craft Hot Rods when the prices are good (morning) and then use them to barter 5.45 BS Ammo with Prapor or sell for a profit.
​
If you do all that, you should have about 150k an hour fairly easily. Don't forget to check it between every raid.
​

2. Traders

Safety Score : 100%
Reward : Quite good.
Once your mom has received all the love she deserves and your hideout is taken care of, you should have max traders (traders are a requirement for most of the hideout anyway).
Traders level 4 will net you much better prices on most mods and open very good barter trades.
Buy as much as you can from barter trades. You can buy almost everything from it, and it's usually at least 25% cheaper to buy the requirements and then do the barter. Ragman4 has the CPC Armored Rig which is level 5 armor, you'll get it for about 200k instead of 250k on the flea. The Slick is also much cheaper. The Blackjack backpack is literally half priced.
You can also NOT use what you barter and just sell it back to a dealer (sometimes the same from which you bartered) for a profit as well as having 2 times the loyalty money increase (from bartering then from selling).
Another good example is buying a Recbat 14k from the market, getting an ADAR for skier, selling it to Mechanic and winning 8k just like that. You can find every single barter that nets a profit yourself and just buy-resell and you'll probably make another 100k every reset, if you really are struggling and have the patience. I personally advise to just use the equipment for yourself unless you're levelling traders, but I wouldn't go as far as buying all profitable items every reset.
Every trader at every level has good barters. You can make a full decent kit at level 1 traders for about 40k roubles on barter, instead of 90 if you buy it all. (Paca for masks, helmet for bleach, ADAR for recbatt, salewa from craft, backpack, etc. all barters)
​
Bleach is beautiful and is coveted in the real world for its ability to cure diseases.

3. Modding

Safety Score : 100%
Reward : Very profitable.
Don't mod out of your reach. Don't mod Meta. If money is an issue for you, having +1 ergo won't change your life.
For example,
Priced at 10k roubles
Priced at 45k Roubles
​
See where I'm going with this?
If you have money, sure, go for the Shift. If you wanna have fun and try, sure, go for it as well. But if you're struggling, buy 4 cobras and mod 4 guns for the price of 1% recoil which will not make you a gamer god anyway.
Also, do NOT buy mods from the flea market when you see you can buy them from traders. Look at the top of the market, if the mod is greyed out, look at the price. It means you don't have access (yet). If the price is too inflated for you, find another mod. There are always other mods. You can make 2 AKMs that have a difference of 2% recoil and 4 Ergonomics and have a 150k price difference. It's up to you. When money is the issue, this was the answer.
​
Note : Some guns are inherently much more expensive. Guns shooting 5.56 or 5.45 tend to be more expensive than 7.62. AKMs are VERY good budget guns. They're a bit harder to handle, but you can get a fully modded AK for 150-200k, where as you will have an entry level M4 for that price. 7.62 PS ammo is also incredibly cheap while being decent. Play 7.62 if you're struggling with money. It's not meta, but it's far more than enough, trust me. You'll rarely lose fights exclusively because you had PS ammo in an AKM. Rarely.

4. Statistical loadout balance

This is fairly simple yet overlooked a LOT. To be accurate, you need data. Personally I kept it in an excel spreadsheet, if you're hardcore you should do something similar.
​
A somewhat relevant spreadsheet I used a wipe ago to measure some of my stats
What you need to know about yourself for this :

• Your survival rate per map
• How much you usually extract with, on average, per map
• How much you usually go in raid with, on average, per map

These will help us measure how much you fuck up or not.
Lets make it simple.
If you have a 500k loadout and you usually extract with 100k, at 10% survival rate, that means you will spend 500k x 10 = 5.000.000 roubles over 10 raids on average, die 9 times, and earn 100k once. This very obvious example shows the loss.
Basically we're gonna try and balance that equation so that you never lose money on average. You'll have ups and downs obviously, but over a week or two, it'll smooth things out for you, like math always does in a pleasant conversation with a girl.
​
So what can you do to improve that equation ?

4.1 Improve survival rate

Seems simple enough, DIE LESS. You do not need to be good, smart, or special to die less. If you die a lot, do something different. If you die less, try more of that. Explore statistical advantages through different gameplay.
What can you do to die less practically? Here is a list of checkboxes you can tick depending on your money, skill, mood, or any other factor like the map and sheer luck:

• Fight from a bigger distance. People miss more from far (so will you, but killing less is irrelevant when you want to die less)
• Fight with better gear (supressed, better armor, better ammo, etc.). Its expensive, but it technically helps
• Don't fight at all. Avoid fights, run away from gunshots. 99.3% of people who didn't get shot survive a raid.
• Wait more, play slowly. If you go with the flow of players, you'll be with the players. Avoid that "wave" and stay behind it. When you come across players trying to extract to where you spawned, hide.
• Play with friends if you have any. If not, your mom loves you and so do I. I do coaching so do a lot of other decent players, look it up.
• Whenever you die, look at what killed you. Did you take a risk ? Did you lack skill ? Were you out of position ? Were you unlucky ? Try to be as OBJECTIVE as possible even in the frustration. It's pretty much always your fault if you died, avoid toxicity and learn something from that instead. If you took a fight with good gear and ammo and just lost, its probably skill/positioning. It's fine. Learn the game, fight differently, and with time it'll get better. If you were in the open, don't go in the open. If you were sprinting in the middle of interchange and got ambushed, well. Don't do that. Learn.

Do all that, it'll give you a LOT of data to actually improve by just doing something different without really being fastestronger, just smarter.
And I repeat : you can do some of it, all of it, it depends on what you like, what you're comfortable with, and the time/investment you're putting in the game. It's okay to play at your own pace.

4.2 Reduce gear cost

The second part of our "profit equation" above is how much gear you take with you. Using previous tips, reduce that cost. Barters, cheaper mods, etc.

4.3 Increase extracted value

This one is not as tricky as it sounds. Basically there are two ways to extract with more money in the backpack :

• Know what/where to loot
• Have a bigger backpack.

The goal is to pay for the gear you will loose when you die while making a profit on top. That one time you extract if you have a MBSS backpack, you'll need items worth like 50k per slot to break even. If you take a tri-zip, suddenly it's only 30k per slot. If you take a blackjack and blackrock from good old ragman, suddenly it's 10k per slot. So you can break even by looting crickents and DVD players almost.
See where I'm going ? Always take a tri-zip or bigger unless you're doing something special. That way you can afford to loot shitty areas, take less risk, and survive more while having a little less value.
We'll cover that in a minute, but there are ways to loot high value items, moderate value and low value. Those have also different risk/reward.
​
All of those are also map specific. In woods I'll often go with a 6B3TM armored rig for 40k, no helmet, 20k headphones and a sniper rifle. Rest is pouched so does not count. That's less than 100k investment. All players tend to have low value gear so I never extract with a lot either so it balances out. But on Woods, my survival rate is 20% instead of my overall 40%. So I know it's not a map I can reliably make money on, because I measured that accurately over time. This example is very common and should make sense to you.
Same goes for interchange where I have more about 50% survival but will tend to go in with 600k worth of gear, but will also often extract with over 500k quite regularly. Different ratios, different values, different purposes.
You can measure your own data if you're willing to do so, or you can eyeball it. Eyeballing it is much faster but very inaccurate because you will tend to include emotions in the mix when you die. You'll remember losses ~2x more than your wins (that's somewhat scientifically proven), and if you're eyeballing your loadout you might think you have 600k but really you might have only 450k. I would advise to go hardcore and measure it all for price, initial loadout, losses and earnings, for each map.
​

5. Money runs

Now money runs are vast and numerous. All include different levels of risk and reward. It's up to you once again to find what you're willing to do for the time it takes, the fun it will give you and how much it will actually help you. You can always try them all for ~50 raids the sake of trying something different and see how your data is impacted. it doesn't have to be 50 in a row if you don't want to. As long as you keep track of it it can be over a whole wipe. You'd have your data ready for the next wipe :) Faster is better though.

5.1 Hatchling runs

Safety Score : 100%
Reward : Very Variable. Mentally exhausting.
Those are incredibly money efficient. You're investing a gear of 0 value, so whatever you extract with is 100% win, so you cannot possibly lose money that way. Is it fun? Is it rewarding? I don't care, to each is own. Statistcally speaking, hatchling runs are an efficient way to make money.
They do however require a little bit of knowledge, but not skill. You'll be much more efficient at doing these kind of runs if you know where to go, what to look for, and how to get there depending on your spawn. That being said, such knoweldge is easily found ; it's nothing complex, it just takes time to learn. Once again, depends on how much you're willing to invest (if not roubles, time).

5.2 Scav runs

Safety Score : 100%
Reward : Low-ish
Scav runs are also incredibly efficient for the same reason as hatchlings. Except those have a cooldown. Statisticall speaking I have noticed you should always run your scavs as fast as possible on the map where you extract both the fastest and most frequently.
The explanation is simple, lets make it simpler :
The scav is a button that makes you earn free money. When you press it the button becomes unpressable for some time, when you release the button you earn money (sometimes).
That means you want to release the button as often as possible. And for that, you need to release it as fast as possible. It's that simple. So make scavs incredibly fast. I'm talking "Run through" fast.
Unless you're looking for FiR items or doing something specific like annoying a streamer, you should literally run straight to the extract every single time, and loot what you have that doesn't make you go out of your way too much. Usually I suggest factory, go in, kill a random scav, loot it, get out.
Two weapons is at LEAST 50k, 100 if they have a scope. There you go. That's 100k every 20 minutes (or less with intel center). That's MUCH BETTER than going up to 150-200k but taking 30 minutes to extract, and taking more risk by spending more time in the map. Every second you're in someone can shoot. Nobody can shoot you in the hideout.
The exception to that rule is Scavs with a pilgrim which you can take on your favourite loot-run map, probably interchange or reserve. There you should just fill everything you can and extract once you're full, no matter what you have. 30 crickents and an extra gun is fine.

5.3 Stash runs

Safety Score : Very
Reward : Okay
Those are very very safe and can be done with a pistol and a backpack only. Very cheap, quite unchalleneged, for a moderate reward. Just go on a map that you like and run around and loot all stashes until you're full, then get out. You can vary the map/route depending on the traffic of players. Interchange and shoreline are good contenders for that.
It'll net you easy money. Not great money, but definitely safe.

5.4 Loot Runs

Safety Score : Moderate
Reward : Quite alright
Once you have better knowledge/skill you can start having a specific route in a specific map, depending on a specific spawn. So it'll take time to learn. Usually very similar than a hatchling run except this time you bring moderate gear and go for moderate loots. For example, instead of going for fast techlight, in-and-out interchange, you can decide "alright I'll loot 100% of Oli and the computers in the back", it'll take time, but it'll make good loot. More money than stashes, definitely will see scavs to kill, and most probably some more pvp. More risk. If you win that PvP you have even more loot as well. But overall good reward.
Loot runs need to be "scheduled" and thought of after several tries, so you know how much you can take per person depending on backpack size. For example you can't say "lets loot oli" if you have a 5-man with blackjacks, you'll all be empty. Adapt.

5.4 PvP

Safety Score : Insane
Reward : Unreliably moderate
This one is pretty obvious. Very risky, unpredictable rewards. Usually better than loot runs when you survive. I won't elaborate on this, because if you're reading this far you're probably struggling in PvP. And the rest of this guide already covers a fair bit.

6. Insurance

Safety Score : "Meh"
Reward : Very profitable.
Now this is very, very important. Always insure your gear. Always.
If you die you will get stuff back, pretty much for free. If you're really struggling people won't loot your "trash", so you WILL get it back.
If you play in a group it's very likely that people will hide your stuff too.
And most importantly : you can insurance fraud. This is the best way to balance the equation we talked about earlier. If you find a decent-ish gun, replace yours. You drop your initial investment by a significant margin, you will definitely get it back, and if you extract it's a flat profit. Weapons don't take inventory slot, so if you have two weapons that are not yours initially they will usually pay for your whole gear. I have quite often left my super-mega-modded HK just for an average M4 or other weapon that I can fight with, just so I can reduce my investment by 350k and up my reward by like 200k instantly. Replace your headphones all the time too, that's an easy -30+30k, same with helmets. even if it's a bit broken or slightly worse.
If you're struggling with money, try to leave every raid with at least 3-4 pars of your equipment that aren't yours initially.
But value the risk behind this. I won't leave my slick for a Paca at the third minute of a raid just to have that extra 28k. I won't leave my meta-modded HK for a naked mosin. But if it seems decent/doable, do it. It will pay off. Because even if you die, you still get your shit back, and gun is usually the most expensive part of the gear.
​

7. Final notes

It's all about balance. Find what works *for you* and try shit out. Really, try. You'll die, you'll learn, you'll adapt with data to back that up. I find it crazy that people will die and not try to learn from it. That's how you will improve as a player.
First you gotta get smarter, then you'll get better. And with time, skill, mechanics, gamesense, all that will improve on the side. Earning more will snowball in your favour. And if you know you're statistically okay, you will have a much smaller gear fear and enjoy the game more.
​
Sorry for the wall of text, you guys should be used to it with me by now :D I made these guides in video but not in english, so here I am typing it all for you guys.
Enjoy :)

I have played tens of thousands of dollars on the BGAMING Multihand Blackjack on Roobet and the game could possibly be rigged or broken. Yeah people have said its foolish to play electronic online blackjack because it could be rigged and they are right. I'm an idiot but I love blackjack and don't like the slow paced of the Live Blackjack games plus I have to deal with idiots doing stupid things on the table that result in a loss. So I've preferred the fast pace of electronic blackjack. Big mistake as I've lost many thousands over the year on electronic blackjack and never had any big wins so to speak of.
The hand in question is the middle hand where I'm betting $100 x 3 hands. and is a big bet for me and I raged when I hit the 2nd hand to 20 I was excited to see the 10 then the dealer voice says Bust. I was like wtf this is bs but maybe its just messed up and will obviously pay the win if 20 is good which it was. Then the payout happened and it counted it as a loss. My reaction was they cheated me and the game is rigged.
So the BGAMING Multihand Blackjack on roobet is either rigged or broken or both. I will give some credit to Roobet support for issuing my money back on the middle hand and paying out the win. But thats all they did and I'm a longtime loyal donator to them and when I asked for some small additional bonus for the inconvenience they have no decency to credit an extra few bucks. They could have said sir sorry for this shouldn't happened to you and hey heres a few extra bucks for your trouble. You know they are not exactly the friendliest of people its like talking to robots on support. Anyways guys please do not play this blackjack they don't even look into why it happened other than must be a "visual glitch" Yeah right how come in thousands of hands on it I've never seen the dealer visually glitch hitting a 20 and calling it a bust and paying out the player.

Thought I'd share my story on a throwaway account.
I'm a dude in his mid 20's. I got addicted to gambling at some point and started going there more and more often. During the worst of it, I went 3-4 times a week and stayed for hours on end. My most terrible memory is me playing 6 hands of Blackjack (going black every time) and missing. After blowing $2k, I go to the ATM and withdraw another $2k for another big final hand and put that on black too. It was red again (7th time in a row). The dealer then did an extra spin with no one betting and it landed on black finally. I still remember how shit I felt that night leaving my friends, going home, crying myself to sleep and feeling depressed for the next month.
Overall, I must have lost $15-25k total as my regular sessions I took in $400 - $1200, usually leaving with none. I actually vaguely recall only a few winning sessions (my biggest winning session was $650). My last session live session was 8 months ago (2 blackjack hands at $100 each and lost). My last online session was 6 months ago.
COVID has helped me avoid the casino since and I have decided to never go back again after doing some financial analysis of my spending and realising the casino is how my salary is getting crushed. In reality, I will still gamble but with very sensible risk.
Some things that have helped me:

1. Avoid friends who like to go to the casino or tell them you will never go again. The easiest way I was dragged back in is when someone convinces me to go.
2. Have the mentality that you are spending 100% of the amount you enter the casino with. You aren't gambling or making money. You are spending on entertainment at a high price! Seriously this tip helps a lot, whenever I consider gambling somewhere I say wait this is a scam why would I do it. Consider cocaine and hookers instead, probably more fun and cheaper.
3. Associate the casino with a scam, this helps a lot. Keep repeating how its a scam, all machines are rigged and only an idiot would get scammed like this. While this may not be true in the long run you'll lose all your money so it is a scam.
4. Find cheaper ways to enjoy the thrill. I still like gambling but gambling $50 on a sports game every 4 months is different than spending $1k on slots 3 times a week. Over the last 8 months, I spend $50 on an online poker casino and bet $20 on the US election. Overall a small amount relative to my salary which I can afford to lose. Win or lose here doesn't matter but its a bit of fun to be had.

Anyway, I rambled on a lot there and still disappointed in myself that I gambled so much money away. Thankfully it didn't ruin my life and if I now am responsible and gamble only a $50 here and there for fun and thrills it won't matter if I lose or win and I can live happy the rest of my life.

For the past few weeks I've been comparing the results of the blackjack tables in GTA Online with some realistic results of 4-deck blackjack chances in real life and it seems that the tables in GTA Online are highly tilted towards the dealers. From my investigation, the dealers in GTA Online will pull cards to beat the player in a much higher percentage than what will happen naturally with a 4-deck casino environment.
Is it possible that R* is illegally robbing players who have potentially spent real life money on shark cards by allowing them to spend said money on rigged casino games? Especially blackjack, which is known to be the most skill based casino game?
I'd love to see R*s response to this.
Will post all the results once I can get them into a public Google Doc

Side note reddit should have a save feature that makes it so if you're working on a draft and the app crashes you don't lose all your hard work and have to re write everything. I'm ranking this from most to least important so guns and cosmetic stuff will be lower on the list
JOB IMPROVEMENTS AND NEW JOBS: The jobs could use a few things changed about them to improve them, since after awhile they can get a bit stale. I think that the jobs are the biggest down side to Red dead online since they can get pretty old and the lack of content is what makes this game mode so underwhelming so here's some of my ideas
Bounty hunter: Give us new bounties every month, the old ones are starting to get boring and even up the gold from .24 to .25 it's just, more even and doesn't seem like you're skimming off the top
Moonshiner: Give us an option to make the moonshine ourselves instead of having the French guy do it, waiting for the moonshine to cook is boring so why not give players the option to cook it themselves. Have a minigame where we have to get the temperature right, put in the right stuff and stir it right to make the shine and make it harder the more pricey and high quality the shine
Naturalist: Bump up the payment for legendary animal parts and if you piss of the nature bitch, Gus will give you a discount for making her mad. Also while this isn't fully tied to the role, make sleeping bullets knock out horses, dogs and people. I once killed a dog trying to knock it out and the same thing happened to a person. Sleeping bullets that can knock someone out temporarily with a headshot could a cool addition to the game
Trader: Not much seems to need changing besides maybe bumping up the payment you get from deliveries
Collector: Have auctions where an item is up for sale and you and other plays place bids on it and you don't know it's worth until you buy it
But you saw the second part of what I said and you likely thought it was dumb that I wouldn't want new jobs over reworking old ones and you're right! I wrote that part when I was pissy that all my shit got deleted and didn't care about ranking anything. But without further ado here are my ideas for new jobs!
THE RANCHER: Fulfill your dreams of being a cowboy and own your own ranch! You can become a rancher by going to one of the many cattle ranches throughout the map and buying stock in the farm
•Buy cows and raise them before sending them to the slaughter house for big bucks
•Defend the herd from wild animals like wolves and bears and cattle hustlers
•Raid other players farms and steal their cattle for yourself but beware, these men shoot first and ask questions later
•Milk cows and either use it to make thick creamy stews, flavor your coffee, use it to make moonshine or just drink it straight up
•Find rare and exotic horses and break them, then sell them to the highest bidder or keep them as your own personal trophy
•Buy new rancher gun themes and outfits
THE GAMBLER: Test your luck in games of chance as you explore the world of gambling! Near Saint Denis there is a paddle boat stationed at the docks, once you pay for entrance you unlock the gambling card to allow you entrance into the boat
•Play roulette, BlackJack and liars dice in serval new locations throughout the map
•Enter tournaments with other players to win large sums of cash and gold
•Learn to cheat at poker to get the upper hand by pressing the right buttons at the right time but if you fail it will be viable to every player that is looking at you that you cheated, which allows them to challenge you to a duel
•Duels are reliant on your reaction time, first person to shoot is the first person to kill and they win, taking other persons money and leaving the poker game
•In the dark and sleazy parts of the west play Russian roulette with up to six different players. One gun, one bullet, six people. The gun will be passed from person to person until one person remains who will be crowned the winner and shall take all the money
•Place bets on horses races or rig them for your own gain but be careful, if you're caught you will be sent to a duel
•Buy new gambler gun themes and outfits
THE GUNSLINGER: While making money legally can be nice, sometimes you just wanna rob a few unlucky bastards Located in ambarino you can find a gang who's down on their luck and could use a new member to get them back on their feet, your first act as a member buying a new hideout
•Play a set of gang story missions as you track down the traitor who sold out the gang to the Pinkertons and exact your revenge
•Rob banks in a fashion similar to a bounty board with only minor scripting such as police uniforms you can steal to pretend to be police officers and you can either go in quietly or guns blazing. Each mission will reward the player with both gold and money for each time they complete it
•Betray your fellow members at the end of robberies to increased the gold and money you earn, if you want to risk losing some of your gold and money if they kill you
•Rob heavily armored trains for high rewards of money and gold
•Rob special carriages for high cash rewards
•Steal wagons full of expensive items and sell it to the highest bidder
•Rob store owners but if you do they won't serve you for a whole day and if you kill them it'll take three days for them to respawn for you
•Rob high profile gambling matches on gambling boats
•Buy new gunslinger gun themes and outfits
PLACES OF RESIDENCE: This may just be a personal thing but I kinda want a house in Red Dead online instead of just sleeping in the middle of the woods so here are my ideas for homes
Underground houses -Can be placed anywhere in the map -The aboveground part looks like the dirt house you can find -There is a stove with a pot of stew that you can use to make stews -You can change the theme and the look of the house -You can grow mint, oregano and thyme in small pots
Paddle boat -Can be placed anywhere in the main water areas -You can get free cigars and alcohol on the boat -You can place gambling tables on the boat
NEW GAMES/SERIES: I don't usually play these but since a few people do I thought I'd spitball some ideas
Battleships: Fight against other teams in warships, last team standing wins
•The boats are manned by 4 players, one driver who controls the boat, another who repairs it by using a hammer, one guy who controls a muzzle loading cannon that does massive damage but is slow to reload and someone who controls a Gatling gun that does low damage and fires fast
Civil war battles: Fight in battles between the union and the confederacy
•Players defend locations from other plays, the confederacy protects the Manor, Saint denis and Rhodes while the union protects van horn, Blackwater, strawberry, and valentine
•Player that are attacking must capture the location and hold it until the reinforcements arrive -You only have one life and if the defenders kill all the reinforcements and the attackers they win
•Confederates are armed with Springfield rifles and shotguns with their sidearm being a lemat revolver while the union has Litchfield repeaters and Springfield rifles with a navy being their sidearm
NEW FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION: I know that from the last time I did one of these nearly no one wanted a car so don't worry I won't ask for a car and the boats weren't my idea they were someone else's but I forgot who asked for them
•You can buy every kind of carriage that you can find people riding in the game
•When you drive any owned wagon such as the hunting wagon into a stable you can customize it, making it look more tidy, putting a crips trading company logo on the sides or just chancing the kind of wood that its made of
•upgrades for wagons such a the bounty and hunting wagon that adds a weapon box under the seats that allows you to change weapons while on the wagon and iron wheels that increases the speed and handling of the wagon
•Canoe -Small one man boat -Can hold one large fish in storage
•Rowboat -Medium sized two man boat -Has a crate of beer in it that can be drunk -Can hold three large fish
•Steamboat -Large sized boat four man boat -Has a crate of beer and a small stove where you can make stew and craft -Can hold six large fish -Can have a revolver cannon equipped on it
NEW GUNS AND WEAPONS: While the guns in the game is pretty well balanced and useful, new guns are a nice addition to the game
•Colt Walker, In game name, Walker Revolver: First produced in 1847, this was one of if not the most powerful percussion revolver ever made. Firing six .44 caliber round balls and at max 60 grains of black powder, it was comparable to a 1861 Springfield carbine in its firing power though due to poor metallurgy at the time it had problems of exploding after too long of use. Due to it's high damage, range and accuracy this would be a good sidearm for a sniper main or someone with paint it black -Does the same amount of damage as a BAR (Bolt action rifle) -Has the best range and accuracy of any sidearm -Has the slowest fire rate out of any sidearm -has the slowest reload speed (character inserts a paper cartridge, rams it down, then places a percussion cap on the nipple) -Condition lowers faster than any other weapon
•Girardoni air rifle, in game name, Girardoni rifle: Produced from 1780 to 1815 it was a air powered rifle that fired a .46 caliber round ball and had a range of 125 to 150 yards. The gun would use it's own round ball ammunition and you could hold 100 bullets. The gun would be another option for a silent weapon like a bow if you wanted to be stealthy. -Has the same range and accuracy as a BAR -Holds twenty rounds -Is nearly silent -Has the same fire rate as a Lancaster repeater -Does less damage then a bow
DERRINGERS: These will be a new kind of gun in the game, being so small that you can carry them even while you're carrying two pistols. They will be carried in the throwables and equipment slots once you buy two of the same derringers. While weak and having poor range, they have a damage multiplier that gets to the point where if you're face to face with the person you're firing at any body shot will instakill them
•Remington model 95, in game name, double shot derringer: This small pistol is a break action two shot over-under pistol. This cheap derringer is likely the first one you'd buy -Has one of the fastest fire rates put of any derringer -Does moderate damage, slightly less than a cattleman -Has the fastest reload speed out of any derringer
•Colt cloverleaf revolver, in game name, cloverleaf derringer: This four shot revolving derringer is, for a small pistol like this, a very high damage output and decent ammo capacity and would fit well for a player who is a good shot to use the high damage derringer in combat -Has the highest damage out of any derringer, slightly less than a Schofield -Has decent accuracy compared to other derringers -Has a decently slow reload speed -Can be upgraded to have a fifth cylinder
•Colt new line, in game name, pocket cattleman: This gun is one of the most balanced derringer in the game, firing 7-shots in a break-action revolver. It does slightly less damage then the double shot derringer and has the same fire rate as a cloverleaf -Has the highest ammo capacity of any derringer with 7-shots -Has the same fire rate as the cloverleaf -Has the second fastest reload speed out of any revolver
•Allen and wheelock Pepperbox revolver, in game name, pepperbox derringer: Pepperbox revolvers were quite popular from the mid 1830 to at most early 1860 when they were phased out by true revolver but that doesn't mean that these small quick firing guns are gonna go to waste -Has the fastest fire rate out of any derringer -Has the slowest reload speed out of any derringer -Has the worst range and accuracy out of any derringer
•Schwarzlose model 1898, in game name, 1898 pistol: This would just be a 1899 pistol with a new design based off the schwarzlose pistol. It would fill the same role of the 1899 pistol
•1874 sharps rifle, in game name, Buffalo rifle: This would be a import of the same gun from red dead redemption, being a high power, accurate and long range rifle and would serve the same purpose of the original version from rdr1 -Has slightly higher damage then the elephant rifle -Has better accuracy and range then the Springfield rifle -Has the same reload speed as the rolling block rifle
•All the melee weapons from the story: Import than to the online and have the gypsy woman sell them
CLOTHING: Import all the special hats from the story, besides John and Arthur's hats
Off the top of my heads that all I have, if you have any ideas of questions from me ask them in the comments. Thank you all for reading

Good morning,
I put together a system that’s really boring but works like a charm. I’ve tested it out by playing myself with sets of cards and against dealers online with play money.
I’d like to switch to real money. I’m nervous about standard things (losing all my money, legality of online blackjack (I’m in Florida in the US) and rigged programming). I’ll make sure to only gamble what I could afford to lose, so I’d like to focus on the other stuff.
Rigged programming: I don’t expect to win every single hand, and what I’ve put together doesn’t require me to do so. It’s about only not losing up to a certain amount of times. However, with things like machine learning being so prominent, should I be concerned about an online casino having a system in place to figure out what I’m doing, and change the randomness algorithm mid-play?
I guess what I mean is this: is playing for play money set up to make you feel like you can win, so that when you play for real money you’re going against a different algorithm?
As far as legality goes, what I see online tends to show that it just isn’t prosecuted and if anyone goes down it’s the casino, not the player.
I’m curious about your thoughts.
Thank you!

After dozens of hours spent trying to complete the 8th gambler challenge (blackjack is insanely rigged),I'm right now stuck with the 9th gambler challenge,the one in which you have to win three games in a row at domino,many people on online forums have been complaining for months about the blackjack gambler challenge,saying that it was extremely difficult to get rid of but now I'm having an even harder time completing my current challenge,mainly because I didn't understand exactly how the domino rounds are supposed to work in this game,I mean,in order to get the challenge done do I need to win three games or three rounds?,because it seems unclear to me. Can someone please explain.

I have been an MTT reg on BetOnline for the last year, playing micro-stakes almost everyday...
Well........
I woke up a couple days ago to play some cards and I see that my poker balance went from $950 the night before, to 0.77 cents. I called B.O.L and reported the breach of my account b2369781 . After 36 hours I still hadn't received any response from BetOnline so I called them to see what on earth was going on.
I spoke with their financial services department at extension (5070) and they told me there was nothing they could do. They informed me that there was no discrepancy in the IP/ISP address logs they have on hand which would cause a concern. I asked them what happened to my $950, was it withdrawn from my account? Was it transferred to a different account? Was it used on sports betting? Well according to their financial services manager, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION. HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT KNOW WHERE THE MONEY WENT? What kind of bullshit explanation is that.
Also, during the period of time I was sleeping/at work... There was also a mysterious deposit on my account of $197 that was made in the middle of the night (where I live) and they couldn't explain that either. I told them I did not deposit this chunk of money, and that it was not mine, but they still took the $200 worth of funds anyway LMAO.
Lastly, I asked them for a copy of the their IP/ISP address log for my account and they said THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO DISCLOSE THAT INFORMATION. WHAT THE FUCK. How the fuck am I am not allowed to see what devices/ip addresses have been used to access MY OWN ACCOUNT???
MORAL OF THE STORY - Please be careful when using BetOnline, this is the same site that defrauded hundreds of black jack players back in 2017 when they utilized a rigged 3rd party "Live BlackJack Dealer" company called Global Gaming Labs. (see their Wikipedia for more information on the scandal.)
​
Thanks to listening to me bitch and complain about being screwed over. On the contrary, I hope all my fellow poker players are safe and healthy during these crazy times. Keep your head on a swivel and god bless <3

There are so many gambling strategies out there right now and they would all have you believe that there's is the one that will work and you will never need to work again. If only it were that simple!
Being the most gullible person on the planet, I have been sucked in to most of these "systems" and I am sorry to break it to you, but I always log off the online casino with an empty pocket. The most frustrating thing is, I haven't fallen for it once, but several times.
Many of the online gambling systems revolve around roulette or blackjack and work on the old Martingale system. That is where every time you lose a bet you double your bet, so that when you eventually win, you win all your money back and then some. I actually believed this could work and have lost over $1000 on this method.
I also believe that online casinos are rigged. It is pretty obvious when you are covering most of the table with your bets and the one third you are not betting on doe s not come up for 18 times in a row (that happened to me).
There are other systems that use software, such as Roulette sniper and Roulette killer. They both work on the theory that if a certain section of numbers has not come up for a while, it will be due to come up soon. This is not how roulette works. I know, because I lost over $300 with this system.
So what about the really expensive systems such as the roulette robots that you take to the casinos to monitor the wheel? Well, I have not had the money to try these (they cost thousands of dollars) but all reviews say they are one big scam.
I have been so desperate for a quick fix for my financial problems that I was willing to believe anything. I don't want the same thing to happen to you. Free systems do not work either. The website owners of easyfreeincome and docsmoney make money when you sign up to the casinos through their sites. They actually make money when you lose! Please do not believe their free advice. There are ways to make money online, but online gambling is not one of them.

I’ve played about 10,000 hands of blackjack on nitrogen and there’s a few things I’ve noticed about the “provably fair” blackjack games they offer, #1 is the double downs in these games are very rare, if you play according to basic strategy you can at best hope to get 4-5 hands you can double every 150-200 hands you play, #2 is when these double attempts present themselves you lose about 70% of them, if the doubles in these games weren’t so broken I would for sure be a lifetime winning player on this website, after going back and analyzing 100s of hands I’ve noticed that on doubles of hands of 10 and 11 the dealer wins too far too often, this isn’t my first rodeo and I’m no stranger to variance but when playing 2 deck blackjack where the next card is probably gonna be a face card, it’s kinda weird when the dealer draws several small cards to 1up you or draw to 21, the games are laggy also I can’t tell you how many times I press the deal button just to see my balance lower and be thrust into the next game, what’s happening is the dealer is getting an automatic blackjack and the site is automatically starting another round, this would be fine if you didn’t need to raise or lower my bet after determining if I won or lost the blackjack hand the previous round, another problem is it seems like 60% of the time the dealers upcard is 10,9,A or 2, no matter which version of the blackjack games you play 2 is always a worse upcard for the dealer to have than 10,9,A , when the dealer has a low card they rarely bust as it’s mostly always two low cards and then a face card comes next for the dealer something like 5,2 and the 10 to make 17 would be and example of this, that’s pretty much all I can remember off the top of my brain about the bad things about the blackjack games I’m pretty sure there are more
Now for what the blackjack games do right, #1 they are “probably fair” changing your client seed in these games definitely seem to have and impact on the way the cards are shuffled and dealt to the player, as for dealt to the dealer I’ll explain the dealer always seems to get 10,9,2,A as I mentioned, so changing the client seed only felt like I was doing something to my hand and it was the worst blackjack I’ve ever played I would consistently get double low cards like 2,3 or 4,4 and would lose to dealers high cards, which lead me to stop changing the client seed and just play with the seed the start you with I noticed the game started to played consistently like a normal game of blackjack again after I stopped changing the client seed
You can win a decent amount of hands on these games, you can expect to win around 30-40 hands out of every 100 hands you play which is really good compared to other online casinos I’ve played at the only thing holding these games back are the double downs being rigged
You can actually win money if you are skilled my first time playing here I turned my initial deposit of 50$ into about 500$ over a few weeks, and nitrogen has the fastest withdrawals I’ve ever seen on any online casino
That pretty much sums up the rigged blackjack double downs and the blackjack on this website in general, nitrogen with its rigged double downs is not the worst online casino I’ve ever played on but it’s also not the best either, for anyone saying it’s not rigged I have proof to back all this up as my nitrogen account is still up and I can look at all 10,000 hands I’ve played I’m writing this review to let others know what they are potentially getting themselves into when playing at online casinos and to hopefully spark a change, maybe if we can get enough people to voice their concerns and frustrations we could maybe get this shady shit fixed and sorted out as us American players don’t have regulated online games so we are selves need to start policing this shit and speaking up when we see bullshit in these casinos or sports books

Anyone else feel like the casino is more rigged than real online casinos? I've played enough blackjack in my life to know the odds and how to play and gta casino just feels rigged. Am I crazy or anyone think this too?

I thought it would be a good idea to post links to all of the reviews out; similar to how /games does it. I'll post the opencritic link, and edit in all of the links and quotes. I'll continue to edit as more reviews come out.
OpenCritic - 74
Metacritic - 73

Website/Author	Aggregates' Score ~ Critic's Score	Quote
Destructoid- Chris Carter	8/10.0	"It takes time to really get into MechWarrior 5, which is to be expected. At first, things go by at a plodding pace and your customization options are slim. But once you assemble your crew, jump into mechs you want to play as, and the story picks up, it starts to feel like old MechWarrior again. Mercenaries still might not satisfy everyone, but I enjoyed my reintroduction to the action-oriented BattleTech world."
Game Revolution- Jason Faulkner	3/5	"If you are a MechWarrior fanatic, MechWarrior 5 will probably give you hours of enjoyment. If not, I’d wait until some of the problems above are addressed before making a purchase."
Attack of the Fanboy- Brandon Adams	4/5	"MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is an imperfect game. It makes a terrible first impression, but given time proves itself a belligerently fun experience."
GamingTrend - Ron Burke	85/100	"MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a return to form. As a fan of the series, it's been a very long wait, but PGI managed to deliver in a big way on nearly every front. While there are certain things that could be improved, what's here is an excellent four player mech-stomping good time."
Windows Central- Jordan Palmer	3/5	"Though a fun concept and quite enjoyable in the opening hours, MechWarrior 5 suffers from really repetitive gameplay, sharp difficulty spikes without warning, and bad writing."
GameGrin - Joshua (Shnook)	8.5/10	"MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a great introduction to the MechWarrior series and is primarily a PvE game. Players can expect to be rocking to an awesome soundtrack as they destroy their enemies on the battlefields."
CG Magazine - Lane Martin	7/10	"Like your Grandpa’s rusty old Blackjack, Mechwarrior 5 is a great machine that could use a lot of polish."
Screen Rant - Cody Gravelle	3.5/5	"MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is an authentic experience consistent with the franchise, but is more reminiscent of times past than an innovation."
PC Invasion - Andrew Farrell	5/10	"MechWarrior 5 is lengthy and complex but extremely tedious and often obnoxious. What could have been a very enjoyable experience is dragged down by bad movement, menus, and pacing."
Ars Technica - Sam Machkovech	Unscored	"But there's enough solid stuff in how the game controls on a bulky home-joystick rig, plus how your campaign progress is rewarded with tons of mech-customization opportunities. Between that and the AI-squadmate stuff, MW5:M isn't a lost cause by any stretch. But it's firmly interested in appeasing a dedicated niche, not drawing in newbies. Which, based on my giddy HOTAS-fueled combat, is likely the point."
ACG - Jeremy Penter	Wait for Sale	"It does have some stuff that needs to be shored up, and I think that people who like the prior games, or who maybe are playing the online version need to look at this and really think about it, check out some videos, decide if this is what they want, because there are some differences here, but overall it is an enjoyable game."
GameSkinny - Ty Arthur	7/10	"Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries delivers pulse-pounding mech action. It just lacks the patches to make it truly shine."
Handsome Phantom - Dave Lambden	7.5/10	"MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries offers a surprisingly accessible action packed experience with an impressive amount of depth. The managing of resources and expenses creates an intricate and rewarding metagame that expertly complements the intensity of the game's battles. Despite some shortcomings in cumbersome menu design and lacking mission variety, MechWarrior 5 is easy to recommend for both series veterans and newcomers."
Niche Gamer - Frank Streva	8.5/10	"Faults and exclusivity deals aside, MechWarrior 5 is a solid mech combat game that leans more towards the twitch shooter side than the older games in the franchise. While I would have preferred to see the franchise to return as a nice and proper sim like the old days, MechWarrior 5 still scratches my itch to stomp around the battlefields of the future in a giant robotic war machine."
The Outerhaven Productions - Keith Mitchell	4/5	"MechWarrior 5 is a glorious return to the MechWarrior universe. Lots of mechs from the past return, while the gameplay stays true to the original formula. The campaign is lengthy, insuring you won't beat this anytime soon. The wait was definitely worth it. If you're a fan of the mech simulator genre, don't sleep on this."
TechRaptor - Kyle Johnson	5/10.0	"Despite a solid 'Mech-shooting foundation, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is crippled by technical issues, horrendous grind, and repetitive missions."
Saving Content - Scott Ellison II	4/5	"The combat is intense, frenetic, and never bogged down by the managerial aspects. The story is solid, and the characters are okay, but the BattleTech lore that begins to unfold throughout steals the show. MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries captures the essence so beautifully of what made the MechWarrior: Mercenaries games so great two decades ago. It’s a welcome return for a singleplayer campaign of this storied franchise. MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries skips all the pretenses, and lets you manage the finances and the intricate details of your own mercenary units to stomp around the galaxy at your leisure."
PC Gamer - Jonathan Bolding	80/100	"MechWarrior 5 is a showcase of nostalgic, joyful mech combat."
Rock Paper Shotgun - Sin Vega	"Bloody Excellent", unrated	"If you’ve been waiting for a full-on simulation with all the bells and textbooks, and nothing less will satisfy you, Mechwarrior 5 isn’t going to cut it. For everyone else though, it’s bloody excellent."

I have been watching Nicosia2014 a twitch streamer whom has live streamed approx 15k hands of live dealer blackjack (the guy is a god somehow 24 hours stream as well). After completing some math on stream last night with chat and analyzing the 15k hand sample Nico had the dealer has way too high a percentage of up card being a 7,8,9,10,A, the casino dealing shoe appears to be possibly rigged. The casino appears to have the ability to change cards via a remote switch based off the shoe they use called an I-SHOE which scans cards prior to their removal from shoe. This casino also places the first card as a hidden card for dealer that they receive because this is the only card that cannot be controlled. Once that hidden card is placed the machine is able to select the up card which causes players to play perfect basic strat wise, and they will end up busting more. This shoe is available by Scientific games, however this site also has it shown as a cheat device.
I pray that /poker leaves this up for awareness as I know some poker players do hit the pits on occasion. The stream for Nico is small and I wanted this revelation to be known to the wider community that they are potentially cheating. The dealers don't seem to be in on the scam as we could tell. We were also counting all of the shoes and during +20 running counts on many occasions the dealer busted way higher percentage than what is within statistics with these BJ rules. This blackjack provider appears to provide blackjack for a multitude of 3rd party sites like Mybookie.ag and others. I have posted a link to the imgur of the cheat device listed on a cheating website. I will also list the link of scientific games who also provides this I-shoe. The other really funny thing is that if you are a standard consumer you cannot even buy one of these shoes to test out or use/compare that to a cheating rigged shoe. Perhaps these are sent from scientific games rigged with a remote card controller.

The cheating site also describes the shoe like this
"Description Our pro version remote control blackjack shoe can make your winner dream come true.
This remote control blackjack shoe is used with common playing deck and it is translucent which will give other players a sense of reliable.
So, how to play poker tricks with this remote control blackjack shoe?
Inside the blackjack shoe, there is one baccarat poker camera, and a signal transmitter. When the camera read the cards, you can see the image from a monitor, and of course, there is a receiver behind the monitor. You can see the poker suits and point from the monitor. You can see one playing cards at one time.
The remote control is used to exchange the next playing cards and holding the playing cards you don't need.
Compare with another kind of normal playing cards blackjack shoe, this remote control blackjack shoe is the pro version for it has the function of exchanging cards.
And, this poker camera blackjack shoe is not for single use, you can work with your friends.

Note - the more I look at this site jesus christ they have clear acrylic shoes with cameras inside, so many non-obvious methods of cheating. I would be sketched by more online casinos after visiting this site.

P.S. The only reason I am doing this for is visibility. I don't think people should get their money scammed from them in an unfair or rigged game. That is bullshit and I want to stop others whom may be down the wrong path. Also when the site was asked why they hide the first dealer card as almost no other casino does online or land based they said " because mah procedure" LOOOOL!
INb4 Costa Rican scam artists INb4 shills say its not rigged
PPS Also this site should make you more aware of what cheat devices exist to better protect yourselves as well. With this stuff on the market I would question most high stakes homes games.

This is my personal opinion of the latest shit fest update that is the gta online casino. Now I will admit that at the beginning of this update I managed to make some good money. But now a few weeks later I can't win a damm thing. I've tried multiple ways to try to make some money out of the casino. I've tried the inside track and bet on the horse with the best odds. I now don't believe for a second it is odds based anymore. I loose every time. I've tried blackjack. I'm lucky to win 2 hands at best. And don't even get me started on the absolute joke that is three card poker. It is fixed. Not an opinion now that is fact. Based on what I've seen happen. The hands that the dealer keeps giving me and to themselves is statistically damm near impossible. 1 example I have is that the dealer beat me 3 times in a row. Now that isn't the bad part. Its that they won with the same card 3 hands in a row. The ace of diamonds. once now and then I can accept but not 3 times in a row. Especially when the dealer "supposedly shuffles" the deck twice during each hand. Once at the start then again after the hand is finished. Just in case people aren't sure what I'm on about. Now to continue. So to put a little more context to what I'm saying. That is 5 shuffles that the dealer will have done and still gotten the same hand 3 times in a row. Now I say 5 because the 6th shuffle would be after the 3rd hand so it doesn't really have an effect on the cards. And that's kind of my whole point. It's not based on odds anywhere in the casino. It's just rng rigged against you. And whether or not rockstar feel like letting you win once or twice. And because of the glitch issues that were at the start which to be fair I can't ignore. That's no excuse to punish everyone else by suddenly deciding to cheat everyone else who legitimately won and quite frankly earned the money that they won. Sort your shit out rockstar. And oh BTW stop with this drip feed bullshit you do with every update. You've made tons of money from people. Stop being greedy and trying to get blood from a stone. WAKE THE FUCK UP ROCKSTAR
