    5 DIMES - Live Dealer

    Just wanted to run this by any of you that play at the blackjack tables with 5 dimes live dealer. Have any of you won and is it rigged or does it seem to be fair? I have found most online casinos rigged so have stayed away but somehow i was more curious about the 5 dimes experience and wondered if it was any different or pretty much the same.

    I haven't played the 5dimes one, but have played the BetPhoenix live blackjack in the past. I thought it was as fair as any live casino. It would be awesome to play live with those giant cards lol

    the live casino at 5 dimes is FUKKING AWFUL. I won $25 over about 45 minutes playing maybe 8 hands of BJ and like 6 spins of roulette.

    it is soooooo slow, I will never go back again

    Well we all know casinos are rigged, its a fun thing with small amounts of money only
    The problem is you never leave until you go broke especially online as it is very fast and just too easy to say there

    what i cant stand about 5dimes live blackjack is they only deal the dealer 1 card at first, so you could be doubling down... and then the dealer peels off an ace for a blackjack after all the cards have been dealt.

    I dont understand this method..

    The post is correct. You stay until you loose. I began to hit 17s and eighteens, even 19s. On 19 the dealer said pitboss he made a mistake. They were so generous to void my hit unlike other times when I made an error and "the hand must continue." I said HIT HIT. It was a soft 19 and I drew the picture card meant for the dealer's up 10! They were visibly pissed. I messed up their card flow. The only double downs u win are crazy, like 12! The "ten" vs 4, 5, 6 dont do it. Figured out to hit when standard play says to stand; ie 13 vs 6. U gotta hit that twice or surrender 17, 18, 19 vs picture so u can draw the ten on ur next hand. STAY AWAY! They'll suck ur sports winnings.
    Yes, I too had 3 BJs a shoe and u wonder how u lost $200!!!

    What I don't understand though is how is it rigged and how is the deck put in order if you see them fan and shuffle in front of you? You even see them spread out the cards face up in front of you in order at least twice a day.

    RNG games are a safe bet. The machines are independently audited.

    I would only play with European Casinos Period as they are much more strictly regulated

    5 Dimes is 10000% unregulated

    If your Non American I would play at places like William Hill, Bet365, Ladbrokes, etc

    I understand the unregulated part. What I don't understand is how they are rigging the live dealer game if you see the cards fanned up, in front of you, in order, and they shuffle in front of you. Just wondering what specific tactics they use, and how they do it when it's right in front of you. What about if you're in the USA, what live dealer sites are there?

    I think Bodog is your best bet if they offer live dealers
    Anyone else I would be highly skeptical
