The Seminoles use every trick in the book to gain an edge in their banked card games. Why not, there is no competition and they are the only game in town. One example in Blackjack is Seminole dealers hit soft 17s. This is a huge change in odds in favor of the house. Your unsophisticated gambler is not aware he is getting his pocket picked. Competition would minimize this kind of abuse. Why do the Seminoles guard with such secrecy the percentage return on slot income? Should not the public know what the slot machine percentages are? Why does the third largest gambling state in the union (Florida) not have a professional gaming commission? Significant changes must be made in fairness between the racinos and Seminoles by leveling the playing field so the gaming public gets a fair shake. If that does not change, the state should shut the Seminoles down and find other ways to make up the small monetary loss from Seminole gambling.
