I'm contemplating wheter or not to casino whore at starluck with 100$ while i'm taking a break from poker. But I have a couple of questions. I'm going to be following casinobonuspage's blackjack strategy.

How long would it take to clear the 100% deposit bonus (100$ bonus)?

Is 100$ bankroll for casino suffiecient enough for this?

Can I play poker and blackjack at the same time?

Thanks /images/graemlins/heart.gif

1. Depends how much you bet and how well you know basic strategy. My first casino bonus took me 5 hours, flat betting $1 for the first $800WR and $2 for the second $800WR. I had never played BJ before and had the wizardofodds chart right next to the window. It got much faster when I used a calculator instead of paper to track my WR.

2. If you stick to $1 betting, it's unlikely that you will bust.

3. Yes, but you said you were taking a break from poker. Also, playing poker at the same time will make it take longer to finish the casino bonus.

I have the table basicaly memorized and I believe I completed the bonus in about 3.5 hours making only $1 bets while chatting on instant messanger at the same time. It's really not bad at all.

To speed up the process, I use a deck of cards to count my wagers. For every $1 I bet, I place a card into a pile. Get to 50 cards, make a note of it, then keep going. Faster than using a piece of paper.

If you stick to the chart and stay disciplined, it's fine. You shouldn't bust and there is only a small chance of actually losing money.

If you mean poker on a different site, sure, although that's just going to slow you down. If you mean video poker at the same time as blackjack, I don't believe the software lets you play both at the same time although I've never actually tried. If you wanted to say, bet $800 on blackjack and then $800 on video poker, I don't know why that would be a problem.

I would get hold of $100 more so you could at least bet $2 per hand. Double your return, same EV, more variance. Still better IMO.

Will someone explain how this works?

EV = Bonus - (House Advantage * Wagering Requirements)

If you play standard BJ (HA = 0.36%) and the WR is less than $27,777 then you will have a positive expectation if you only play until you meet the requirements (numbers for $100 bonus). WR is typically closer to $2000, so you can make some good money here if you minimize your variance by betting extremely small (meaning you'll finish as close as possible to the result of the above equation).

Thanks for that info.

What are the wagering requirements for this kind of bonus?

If you deposit $100 to do a $1600 WR bonus at starluck you should be fine. The EV is over $90 but be prepared for some variance just in case.

They have in fact removed the no-downlaod casino from both Starluck and Planetluck. The best BJ game to play on the download software is Las Vegas Downtown. The house advantage is approx .61%. The correct strategy card can be found here (http://www.casinobonuspages.com/blackjack-strategy/iglobal-media.php).
