Maybe they actually listened to the customers who complained about the machines? Or they are just running experiment number 2 to see if this increase activity at those tables and will make their final decision once all their research is completed?
Also most Maryland casino's are hitting soft 17 now. Again, nobody will care. They're more concerned with trying to hit that Lucky Lady's or their 3 card straight flush.

Blackjack pays even money
Bout the only good thing was a 6-card Charlie and dealer hits soft 17. These machines, however, were the favorite of a lot of AP's (myself included who took them for a lot of money) when it came to free-play. Perhaps they realized the card counters at the live tables were not the people they had to worry about.
The other possibility is they are trying to drive their blackjack clientele towards the live tables. With a maximum of $50 per hand and $5 minimum, (combined with the AP's hustling them) the video blackjack may have been seen as a losing variation.
P.S. All the video blackjack consoles have now been converted into table top slot machines. Like anyone needed those, lol.

Perhaps coincidence (but I doubt it) the Sands has also removed now all their video blackjack machines. They had about 8-10 table-top surrounding the center bar. The rules were atrocious.

Gee, VP must be really bad there if this VBJ was preferred for FreePlay. Even money is -2.27 and no double or split is -1.91. Is that a typo about 6 card Charles and deal hit soft 17 being good things? ^ Charles is +.16 but Dealer hits S17 is -.22

As for VP, I don't know. I find VP so boring I lose more due to loss of interest. I end up making the wrong strategy moves. I prefer VBJ even if I give up more edge.

As many casinos on the East Coast wont even allow you to use FP on VP or VBJ, I consider VBJ a blessing when its available. Oft times I am using it on slots.
