I had a couple of hours to spare (I was waiting for 5:30 so that I could park my car for the weekend without paying $60 for the first night ), and won about $240 on the blackjack table. My bankroll was only like $40, so as a % it's a good win. I'm going to Crown Casino tonight, so I'll probably lose it all!


It's impossible to count cards here, they use an auto-shuffler which shuffles after each hand, and there are like 5-7 decks in the shuffler. But if you play basic strategy you can still have a decent winning margin. I chip up when I'm on a roll, and go back to the table minimum after a loss. In the even of a push/stand-off, I chip down 1 chip.
Treasury. It's the only casino in Brisbane, i believe. But believe it or not, both times i had two aces, split and doubled, i lost all four hands. What are the fucking odds of that? Then again, what are the odds of getting two double aces in a one hour sitting to begin with? lol.

They use automatic shufflers at Treasury too. Not sure how many decks.
