Red Flex

Michael: Hello everyone, this is Mike Shackleford from The Wizard of Odds. I'm currently at the Raving Table Game Show of 2014, taking place at the Paris Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. I must apologize because I know my appearance might be a bit off, resembling the witch from Snow White, and my voice sounds unusual, like Cindy Brady due to a dental mishap I had yesterday. So I realize I could be startling some viewers. I'm here alongside Kyle and Tonya, who represent the Red Flex Blackjack Side Bet, which is a unique side bet centered on the dealer's red cards. Can you provide more details about this concept?

Kyle: Certainly! The Red Flex side bet revolves around the sequence of red cards that the dealer manages to deal consecutively. The deal starts qualifying with just two red cards, and as the game continues with additional cards being dealt, the maximum count of these red cards determines the player's potential payout, which can go as high as 300:1 if eight red cards are drawn in a row. Let's check if she qualifies. Unfortunately, she didn’t meet the qualifications this time, so there won’t be a Red Flex payout; however, the bet generally pays off approximately one in four times. For casino operators, we provide a Red Flex calculator that allows them to tailor their payout tables according to their preferred house edge based on the number of decks they are using.

Michael: I find myself immediately wanting to tally the colors in this game. Do you have measures in place to prevent players from doing that?

Kyle: Yes, we certainly do. Our recommendation is to utilize a continuous shuffling machine while implementing certain betting protocols to ensure that the game stays fair and balanced. It's often claimed that when a continuous shuffling machine is in play, the game becomes nearly impossible to count.

Michael: Is this game currently playable in any casinos?

Kyle: Yes, indeed. At present, it's available in approximately six or seven venues in California, and we're actively working on expanding into Nevada as well as tribal casinos across the nation.

Michael: Congratulations on the achievements you've made thus far. I believe I have a solid understanding of it. Thank you, Tonya.

Tonya: You\"re welcome.
