About Simon

At a live table it is the rule set that decides, not the dealer: the blackjack payout, what the house does on a given card total, the number of decks. Simon's articles show where that is stated and what it costs.

For loyalty programmes he converts the terms into amounts: what turnover a tier requires, what the tier returns, and how the two compare.

What his articles do not contain: tricks against dealers, supposed insider terms, or accounts of rounds nobody can verify.

His standard: every claim about a table or a tier has to be traceable to the publicly available rules.

How these articles are written

  • Table details come from the rules displayed at the table itself.
  • Loyalty programme details come from the published programme terms — not from conversations with hosts.
  • Where a condition is not publicly available, the article says so.
At a live table the rule set decides, not the dealer — and it is on display before you sit down.— Simon Keller

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Simon write about?
Live tables and loyalty programmes: table rules, limits, side bets and the terms under which a tier is reached.

Is Simon a high roller himself?
No. The articles report publicly available rules and terms and work them out; personal play reports are not part of it.

Can a dealer be read?
No. At a blackjack table the dealer's behaviour is fixed entirely by house rules; at other tables the procedure yields no usable information.

Is a loyalty programme worth it?
That depends on whether the required turnover would happen anyway. The arithmetic is in the article — a programme becomes expensive once it triggers additional stakes.

Does Simon guarantee a rise through the tiers?
No. He reports the terms and converts them into figures; what comes of it depends on how you play.
