When you play blackjack, there are times when you feel like you have just sat down at a really lucky table where you just can not seem to stop winning. Maybe the odds at that table are somehow better than expected, or maybe the blackjack dealer is simply giving the players at the table more chances to win (and this really happens). But all things must come to an end, you had to leave the table eventually. Thing is, you could relive that winning streak by finding the "right" table, and you can do so no matter wherever you end up by just looking for a few signs.

The Table

Chances are that you have been playing blackjack at a casino and when you joined the table it was full with players, and maybe even some back bettors behind you. It suddenly occurs to you that the blackjack table next to you is very popular, and everyone at your table has left!

So what happened, you may ask. well chances are that the dealer on your table has become increasingly unbeatable, and the dealer at the next table is giving away money as if its Christmas! Players are now deserting the losing table you are on ,and making a beeline to where the money is flowing their way.

There is nothing at all unusual about this, and this is a regular "ebb and flow" dynamic of how casino's work. You are under no obligation to stay at a table ,any table, and you should be at all times monitoring where the money is freely flowing towards the players ,and at which table/s this is occurring.

First of all, if you are still winning where you are, then there is no reason for you to leave. Do not leave just because everybody else has. It is quite probable that the other players are not winning, yet you might be winning consistently. Always do what is right for yourself, not the crowd.

If you have not yet sat down at a table, then there are signs to look out for to spot a blackjack bonanza. As mentioned above look for tables that are popular. If the players at these tables have large amounts of chips in front of them, then you can be most certain that the dealer is paying out. also make a note of how many chips the dealer has in the float.

The Dealer

If the dealer has few chips left, then in all likelihood the players have them instead! If a dealer is constantly getting fills for his/her float, then you are most likely looking at a blackjack bonanza opportunity. This table will undoubtedly be popular, so you may have to back bet whilst standing, rather than sitting down. This is a small discomfort when considering you are raking in win after win.

Another not so obvious clue to improving the odds in your favor is to always play close attention to the dealer for any vital mistakes that may give you an edge. An example of these are dealers that inadvertently expose a card when checking for blackjack, or deal you a card when you didn't ask for one. Each time this happens you have been given free information in which to now make an optimal decision about how to play your hand.

Dealers can also go on lengthy losing streaks, just like the players, and it can be wise to take note of weak dealers and follow them around. Often seeing/sensing a dealer is weak, the casino manager will take the dealer off a table, and replace them with another (usually strong/winning) dealer.

this is your opportunity to now take a break, and wait to see if the weak dealer is put on another table. often in these situations the casino manager will move the dealer to another area of the casino (as far as possible!) away from the original table. Have a walk around and see if you can locate this dealer to continue a winning run.

If you are very lucky you may get a combination of the above factors combining that mean you now have a good edge over the casino, and now is the time to increase your bet size to take maximum advantage. You have found an inexperienced, weak dealer who is making mistakes, has little money in the float and all the players at the table have mountains of chips. You may also be combining a running count which is in your favor.

The Complete Bonanza

Congratulations.....you have now found a blackjack bonanza, and you should make the best of it whilst it lasts. Increase your bets to the maximum your bankroll can afford, play multiple hands if possible and try and split and double as often as you can. Follow the dealer around from table to table if they are being moved. This is as good as it gets!

Free Tip: Always study the table/s before sitting down to play. Pay close attention to how many chips the dealer has in their float, and how many chips the players have. This is a quick and easy way to determine the "flow of money".
