Don't know much about IGT blackjack but remember the piggy bankin as well as the cherry pie and several other wongable slot machines. Started and ended most VP sessions with a tour of the casino for opps.
I remember Eliot Shapiro showing me a bank of blazing 7's to keep my eye on. How you could look down into some slot machines and read the counters.
Back in the day.

Most of the IGT multigames have video BJ as one of the options, the bad version of course that pays even money for a blackjack. When I am playing VP on one, there is usually a constant stream of Asians passing by checking the last hand of BJ played on every open machine in the bank. Only occasionally will they select a machine based on their examination and play a single hand before cashing out and moving on. Since the cards are shuffled every round, I can't see what advantage they seem to be looking for. They are usually kind of shabbily dressed and have that exhausted look like they are on a never ending mission. It kind of reminds me of the slot huslers back in the late 90's that walked around Las Vegas pushing the button on Piggy Bankin slots looking for a ripe jackpot. Am I missing something or is it just Asian superstition in action?
