What your Blackjack dealer sees in the mirror

The “dealer peek mirror” is an integral part of your local casino’s blackjack table. It’s actually a device with a pair of angled mirrors that allows the dealer to see the pip displayed on the hole card without turning the cards over. The reflected hole card can only be seen from directly above the mirror, where the dealer is standing.

Invented by a retired dealer in the 1960s, the dealer peek mirror speeds up play and makes the game more secure, preventing the hole card from being exposed to players or spotters trying to cheat.

For the dealer, it can be both a blessing and a curse. Mirrors on older tables can be scratched up, dirty, foggy, or hard to read under intense casino lighting. Often, the dealer is checking the mirror and making a “best guess” before flipping the hole card to end the game.

The image (clearly) shows an Ace up card and a 10 under it -- not good news for the players.

Casino stuff we love: 18-inch ABS American Roulette Wheel

Perfect for your home table or casino night with family and friends, this sturdy 18-inch roulette wheel is made of ABS plastic with a cast metal bowl that spins smoothly on brass bearings. It features "0" and "00" pockets, and is easier to carry, set up and store than a casino-size wheel. It's the perfect balance between size, quality and affordability.

Product of the Day: COPAG 100 % Plastic Bridge Jumbo playing cards, 2-deck setup Green & Burgundy backs

We truly love a nice deck of playing cards, and you can’t beat Copag for high-quality plastic decks. These bridge (narrow) decks with jumbo indexes are a combination much-loved by poker and blackjack players alike. And plastic decks last about 20 times longer than coated paper decks.

Their smaller size make them easier to shuffle and deal, and the legendary Copag quality and coating make these decks handle like a dream. This two deck setup with green and burgundy backs, comes in a hard plastic Copag case with a deck divider.

These decks are featured on our Key West website. You can reply “send a link” below to receive a link, or go to the Key West site at: www.keywestresortcasino.com.

During the cold winter months, we'll be in the workshop adding hardware to our touchscreen slot machine, creating an even more realistic slot experience for the players. We're connecting a speaker, lighted IGT slot buttons, and a printer, building it all into a nice slot cabinet and topping it off with a beacon light. We can't wait to see how this project turns out.

We put $100 into our Southernmost Slot Machine this evening and gave it 10 spins. Watch to see how we did! (Two-minute video.) No real money was harmed during the making of this video. It's a "fun nite" machine that uses points only!

Check out a two-minute video of our newest touchscreen video slot machine. Made for easy transport to our casino fun night parties, this "machine" is really a laptop connected to a 24" Dell touch monitor running a slot program from AllJ Software. It uses technology similar to an IGT slot machine to put the reels and buttons on a laptop. We added the custom background and custom "Key West-" themed symbols on the reels. Connect to the big touchscreen monitor in "Portrait" mode and, "Bam! Instant working slot machine." The video shows 14 pulls of our "dollar" machine in 2:12.
