Following the popularity of our previous Dream Job competitions, BonusFinder Canada is now looking for a Canadian blackjack enthusiast to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada.
The selected candidate will earn CAD $1,000 to review casinos, and head to the floors with an additional CAD $1,000 in their pocket to be spent at some of the most famous tables in the world.
To celebrate National Blackjack Day 2023, which is held annually on March 2, BonusFinder is opening this special role to represent the brand in Vegas for a 3-day trip for two, which includes flights and accommodation.
The 'BonusFinder Official Blackjack Tester' will get paid to review some of the biggest casinos in Vegas, but other than that, the winner and their plus one will be free to enjoy the city at their own pace.
In addition to the Vegas trip, we will be supplying our tester with an extraordinary money-can't-buy prize: to be taught 21 knowledge from a bonafide blackjack legend! This gambling expert will help arm our 'Blackjack Tester' with all the tips needed to enjoy a successful trip to the desert.
Introducing Our Blackjack Legend
Our chosen candidate will get a chance of a life-time to be taught the advantage-play secrets of the game by one of the most notorious professional casino cheats in the history of legal casinos! Richard Marcus, a former professional casino and blackjack cheat, has 25 years of experience in blackjack pits around the world.
Now, Richard works for the other team in the equation as founder and organizer of the Global Game Protection and Table Games Conference, and offers intense "Beat the Heat" Blackjack Card Counting training seminars and Advantage Play training courses for casino personnel who want to master the art.
These are the exact same card counting and tracking methods used, and now taught by the ex-MIT Blackjack Team members, who successfully beat casinos worldwide with sophisticated card counting strategies from late-1970s to the beginning of the 2000s.
Richard is looking forward to putting the selected candidate through their paces and getting them up to speed to get that real expertise on the blackjack tables.
"For 25 years I made a living by cheating casinos by developing techniques and strategies that later became world famous. The best part? I never got caught. So, whoever makes it through for the role - I'm the guy you want to learn from.
"There's an abundance of things that I can pass on to help the testers get an edge in the game, and I'm delighted to be partnering with BonusFinder on this competition.
"What I share will help the testers understand key elements of blackjack in casinos, and open your eyes to what the casino staff are paying attention to in terms of card counting and betting strategies.
"This sort of detail works incredibly effectively on both sides of the blackjack pit, and while I can't guarantee success, I can ensure your skills and understanding of the casino improves dramatically."
National Blackjack Day was created to celebrate playing 3:2 Blackjack (hence the date March 2) with 3:2 the traditional payout for blackjack but it has been widely replaced by the 6:5 payout in many casinos.
The origins of blackjack, also named '21', are not fully known; but it's said that the game began in French casinos in 1700.
The Role
The winner will get an extraordinary chance to learn the tricks from a living gambling legend, receive CAD $1,000 reimbursement for their time and another CAD $1,000 to test out those new skills on the tables at Vegas and review their experience!
Once you've enjoyed your trip, we'll just want a small overview of your trip and to rate your experiences of each casino out of 10 - it's that simple. Once selected, we will be in touch with the candidate to discuss in more detail.
