Fingerprint Scanner Simulator - GTA Online Casino Heist

USING YOUR COMPUTER OR SMART PHONE

I’m going to plug the software that I use when I teach students basic strategy in my blackjack classes. It’s called Blackjack Mentor and it’s available for Android and iPhone smart phones, Microsoft Windows for PC’s, and Palm OS/Pocker PC’s. Here are a few examples of how this program can help you learn the basic strategy.

The program’s “Drill Mode” allows random blackjack hands to be displayed, and you have to pick the correct play. The program remembers which ones you get right or wrong, and tends to pick the ones you are having the most problems with. You can also select specific hands to be tested on, and view your error statistics from Drill Mode.

The “Memorize Mode” displays a blank strategy table and allows you to fill in the correct play one cell at a time, just like the drill I mentioned earlier using paper and pencil. The software will alert you if you input an incorrect play and marks the error. The software has over 100 built-in tables ready to be used with a wide range of blackjack rules and number of decks.

Now you have several ways to memorize the basic strategy so you have no excuses not to do it. And let me add this: You can always bring a strategy card with you when you play and refer to it if you forget how to play any hand. They are perfectly legal; however for security reasons don’t place them on the table, instead, hold them in your hand. Note: I recommend the following set of strategy cards because they are accurate and easy to use: Don Schlesinger’s Ultimate Strategy Cards and Kenneth R. Smith’s Blackjack Strategy Cards.

1. Public Statements

   18.02.2022: A regulatory settlement has been agreed between the Gambling Commissioner and Onisac Ltd in respect of AML deficiencies. A public statement on the matter can be read here.

   AML Review regarding non UK International Customers

   The Gambling Division has now completed its thematic review of the anti-money laundering (‘AML’) risk assessment processes and controls operated by our B2C licensees in respect of non-UK international customers.

   The learnings from the thematic review, which also identified other material cases, should be noted and acted on by the whole Gibraltar gambling industry, and are as follows:

   • Operators need to ensure that proportionate enhanced due diligence is conducted on high depositing customers; irrespective of whether or not their losses are high.
   • Operators need to have systems in place to identify sudden and significant increases in the velocity of transactions and for these incidents to be escalated to management for consideration.
   • Operators need to have systems and controls in place to ensure adequate ongoing monitoring of customer accounts.
   • Operators need to have integrated systems and communication channels between different functions (e.g. compliance, fraud and risk, customer services and VIP managers) to ensure all customer interactions can be considered in the round and not in isolation.
   • Operators need to ensure that all staff are trained to a level commensurate with their role and that all customer facing staff understand both their AML and social responsibility obligations.
   • Operators must properly risk assess all the ways in which customers fund their accounts for all channels (including peer to peer gambling) and carry out appropriate due diligence checks on all participants.  
   • Operators must report suspicious activity in a timely manner in line with their obligations under the Gibraltar Proceeds of Crime Act 2015 (POCA).

   These learning points are applicable to all customers; regardless of jurisdiction.

   Executive teams under the supervision of their Boards should ensure that internal risk assessments and reviews in this area take full account of the Gambling Commissioner’s expectations in this important area.

   EXAMPLES OF USING THE FLOW CHART

   

   Let’s try a few hands so you get the hang of this.Suppose you are dealt the following hand:

   • 10-4 AND THE DEALER’S UPCARD OF 10.

   You are playing a six-deck, S17, DAS, LS game. Since the dealer has a key card (the 10) for a potential surrender, your first decision is whether or not to surrender your hand. According to the basic playing strategy, the answer is no; therefore, move on to the next step in the flow which is pair splitting. Since you don’t have a pair, you can skip this decision and go to the third, doubling. Here again you don’t have a key hand for doubling so skip to the last decision, hit or stand. The correct basic strategy play is to hit a hard 14 when the dealer shows a 10.

   

   Try this hand. You are playing the same game and are dealt:

   • A-7 AGAINST DEALER’S UPCARD OF 9

   The dealer is showing a key card for surrender, but you should know that you don’t surrender soft hands; so move on to the next decision, which is splitting. You can forget splitting because you don’t have a pair, so move on to doubling. You have a soft hand, which is a potential double down situation, so now you must decide whether to double your A-7 against a dealer 9. The answer, of course, is no, so move on to the next decision, which is whether to hit or stand. According to the basic playing strategy, you should hit A-7 when the dealer’s face card is a 9.

   When you play blackjack in a casino it won't take you very long to run through the decision sequence in your mind ...... in that order; especially when you remember the key cards for surrender, splitting, and doubling.

   In fact, with a little blackjack practice, remembering the above logical flow for decision-making will become second nature to you. Notice that the play you make most often, hitting or standing, should be the last decision you make. Think surrender first, then pair split, then doubling, and lastly whether to hit or stand.

   

   If you always follow the above when you play blackjack, you'll find that that the wholeprocess of deciding how to play your hand will become easier and less stressful.This in turn will result in fewer costly playing mistakes.

   

   Anti-Money Laundering Requirements

   The Anti-Money Laundering Code of Practice is 'interpretive guidance' to the Gibraltar gambling industry in respect of the requirements of the Act, the Gibraltar Proceeds of Crime Act, and the 4th EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive. This code applies to all financial transactions associated with defined gambling activities undertaken under the authority of a Gibraltar remote gambling licence.

   The Anti-Money Laundering Code of Practice for the Non-Remote industry can be viewed here.

   Some additional guidance on various topics has been prepared by the Gambling Division as part of its outreach to the sector and can be accessed here.

   The National Coordinator for Anti-Money Laundering and the Combatting of Terrorist Financing has published a newsletter detailing the changes made to the Proceeds of Crime Act and subsidiary legislation, this can be found here.

   A further newsletter has been published following amendments to POCA in order to address issues arising from the Moneyval evaluation, this can be found here.A copy of the latest iteration of Gibraltar's National Risk Assessment (2020) can be found here and an Executive Summary here. A copy of the latest iteration of the Commissioner's Risk Assessment of the gambling sector can be found here.

   Licence Holders should also be aware of those jurisdictions deemed to be of higher risk in light of their AML/CFT deficiencies. The FATF regularly maintains and publishes a list of such jurisdictions. Those jurisdictions can be viewed here.

   The Gambling Commissioner’s Enforcement and Sanctions Policy in respect of AML/CFT breaches can be found here.

   There are 4 fingerprints in total. For each fingerprint, tap/click on the 4 elements (parts, segments) that make up the fingerprint.

   

   This is how I memorized the basic strategy many years ago. It worked for me then and it’ll work for you today.

   Purchase a pack of index cards. Go to one of the tables in Chapter 3 that corresponds to rules and the number of decks for the game that you most likely will be playing in a casino, let’s suppose Double Deck with S17 and DAS. On the first index card, write on one side your hand, first line of the strategy table. This would be “5-8.” On the other side of the index card, write down the correct basic strategy, in this case it would be “Always Hit”. Continue this process of writing each line of the strategy table on an index card, always writing your hand on one side and the correct strategy on the other side. When you are done, you will have a pack of 29 flash cards that you can use to memorize the basic strategy.

   Spend about 10-15 minutes a day going through your flash cards. Look at the side that has “your hand.” Recite what you think is the correct basic strategy, then turn the card over to check if you got it right. Set aside the cards where you didn’t get the strategy correct. After you go through your entire pack of flashcards, take the cards where you made mistakes and run through them again. Keep doing this exercise every day until you are able to recall from memory the correct playing strategy for each hand. If you have a spouse or friend who can help you with this drill, it will be even easier.

   When you can consistently go through your flash cards without any errors, you are ready for the next drill.
