Live blackjack lobby empty?

So I logged into my usual online casino spot ready to play a few hands of live blackjack, and the lobby was totally empty. Not a single seat taken, which just felt weird for a Friday night. Normally, you can't even find an open spot unless you're willing to hang out and wait. Did I miss a memo, or is there some maintenance going on? Slots were buzzing as always, so it wasn't a site-wide outage or anything.

I gotta admit, a completely empty table was pretty tempting, but it also had me second-guessing if there’s some rule I don’t know about, or maybe everyone jumped to some new promo I haven’t heard of yet. Not complaining about no competition, but it made me wonder if there’s a smarter reason to sit it out. Anyone else seen their live lobbies going full ghost town lately or am I just cursed with blackjack bad luck?
