$15.1 Million for AC Blackjack Player

Jul 5, 2011 Casino Gambling Today

I am sure you recall the last time I posted it was about an unnamed blackjack player who won $5.8 million from the Tropicana in Atlantic City in a high stakes blackjack game. That unnamed player is now revealed to be Don Johnson, and he is being very closed lipped about his blackjack strategy.

He admits that he does not use card counting as a part of his strategy though. Johnson has been playing and studying the game of blackjack for fifteen years, slowly working on his strategy. What started out fifteen years ago as $25 bets per hand have moved up to as much as $100,000 per hand at the Tropicana. And while he obviously has a sound blackjack strategy, Johnson also attributes his success to money:

“[The casinos] beat most people in the long run because the average person will not have the bankroll. But I have my own bankroll. If you can take the swings, you are going to win. You also have to understand the math.”

Johnson raises two very good points: 1. Smart wagering and, 2. Knowing the game.

Notice that I said that Johnson started out with what is for him to be small wagers. What this means is not going to the blackjack table or to an online blackjack game and wagering the most you can on a hand. Start small and build your bankroll slowly.

Know the game. Know blackjack. Take the time to study the game, its rules, its odds and work off of some basic strategy. Basic strategy is a good place to start, but it is not the end-all of blackjack strategies. Look at the game’s math and odds.

The $5.8 million won at the Tropicana was the icing on the cake for Johnson. He had two other big wins that make up the largest portion of his wins. The other big wins were $5 million at the Borgata and over $4 million at Caesar’s.
