Guest Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hey Peter, I note their table glaringly says ties pay 9 to 1. That's going to be pretty expensive for them to fix should you point out to them that ties pay 8 to 1 not 9 to 1.They can't count the chip that you bet as part of the payout. It was your chip - not theirs. A cute little casino hussle! I notice everything! Hard to trust a casino after THAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterUK Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I think they play by Punto Banco Rules here and they do 9 to 1 ties and other variations of tie bets... to cater for the Asian group...http://www.thecasinolsq.com/casino-game-details/punto-bancoInteresting seeing people betting/wagering loads of money in the £100+s or even £1000+s without using any noticeable system with a score card and etc... don't think I would ever do that! Knowing what I know from here... ;-)Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think you have to be a member to enter the casino for small wagers... not the ones I've been to recently around Leicester Square... but to wager large amounts of money the Pit Bosses will ask for your membership card... probably to prevent money laundering...Only if that guy knew that a Single '0' Roulette table reduces the house advantage... and increases his chances of winning a bit... he could have stayed ;-)Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be called 'European Roulette' it's website states "The principle of American Roulette is easy: the Dealer spins a ball around the rim of a revolving wheel which is divided into 37 equal compartments clearly numbered 0 to 36"0 to 36 is European Roulette... and has 37 numbers... American Roulette has 38 numbers including double zero... even looking at the Video... it looks like a European Roulette Table... wonder why they got that wrong?Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
