Dealer pulled a 21 three times in a row.

Last night I was playing live dealer blackjack and the dealer pulled 21 three hands in a row. Not just regular 21s either - blackjack once and then two hands making 21 with a 5-6 card run each time. It started getting in my head because the table chat blew up with people calling it a setup or saying it’s rigged. I’ve seen hot runs but that just felt crazy.

I’m pretty used to swings since I’ve logged a lot of hours at both felt and virtual tables, but this stretch knocked me back. I know dealer hot streaks happen, but three 21s in a row? I was playing basic strategy and got crushed on those hands, even tried switching tables for a minute. My gut’s telling me to review how random these online games are, but I’ve also seen wilder stuff in person. Wondering how often this sort of run happens for you folks or if I’m overthinking it. Had me thinking twice about jumping back in today.

Honestly the three 21s wouldn’t even be my sticking point, the table chat would. Soon as a live table starts yapping “rigged” and the dealer shift feels weird, I’m out, same way I bin a poker table with a bad vibe because once that noise gets in your head you start punting for no good reason

three in a row is whatever. the table chat is the part that stinks... same crowd begging for a 100% match bonus like that changes the shoe 🙄

Yesss, seen it. Poker night felt calmer than single deck blackjack.

Three dealer 21s is ugly, not mystical. I watched a live blackjack dealer do that right after I punted a poker cashout.
