A candidate for governor of the state of Minnesota is campaigning on the promise of bringing floating casinos to the Mississippi River, seeing dollar signs at every turn of Mark Twain’s Mississippi River. Many candidates are catering to gamblers and a state budget from their revenue, hard pressed to find legitimate sources of revenue for poverty-stricken states.
Rob Hahn is the latest candidate to promote gambling for the good of the state. He is running on the IP ticket and he is challenging Tom Horner. The area that he is projecting to legalize riverboat gambling to aide in generating revenue is that part of the Mississippi River that runs through St. Paul and Winona.
Rob Hahn claims that annually $600 million in revenue will be generated by his proposal, which is to be shared by the state, city and counties of Minnesota.
Hahn will make a speech at the state capitol on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 and he made his proposal to a meeting of the Red Wing business group.
From Rep, his proposal drew criticism. To make money for the state, Tim Kelly, Republican- Red Wing, who compared Hahn’s proposal to other proposals made to use gambling in casino games. Kelly opposes increasing gambling activities in the state as new gambling avenues would compete with the state’s Treasure Island, which is currently the biggest employer in the county.

A hit on 16 and below must be there by the dealer. The dealer must hit on a soft 17 on some tables.
A bet on the dealer busting is the Buster Blackjack side bet. The player is paid with the side bet if the dealer goes over 21 the table. If the dealer goes over 21 with 3 or 4 cards the table pays 2 to 1. If the dealer busts with 5 cards the table pays 4 to 1. The pay out is 12 to 1 if the dealer busts with 6 cards and the pay out is 50 to 1 if it’s 7 cards. The pay out is 250 to 1 if the dealer goes over 21 with 8 or more cards.
