Marriott has first-class blackjack in Peru.
Many of the casinos that offer blackjack in
Peru are located in the Expat-friendly
sector of Miraflores (look at flowers) in Lima.
The class act is Casino Majestic
at the JW Marriott Hotel just off the
Pacific Ocean near the famous
Larcomar Outdoor Shopping Mall
that overhangs the ocean.
The supervisor at my 10-sol minimum
table (four soles to a US dollar)
immediately recognized and greeted me
as soon as I took a seat, after three years
away.
The Lima game typically offers
double after split, dealer stands on
soft 17, re-splitting all pairs
except aces .. and surrender
except versus an ace.
This weekend, there was live
entertainment (song and dance duo)
starting at exactly 10 p.m.
on a stage near the main entrance
and about 35 yards from the
table games.
Show your passport and a bank card
and you´re able to get chips at a
'caja' window within about a minute.
About five 21 tables were open
on the main casino floor this weekend.
Cards are dealt from a shoe after
being hand shuffled. Penetration:
about 1.5 to two decks are cut off.
