The modern casino is certainly a busy place, and chances are there will be plenty of blackjack tables to choose from. Finding the right one can sometimes be quite a challenge.

Of course it may not be possible to find the luckiest table and those players on cold streak will always look over at the table next door and wonder how they would have fared if they had landed there instead.

There is always an element of chance and luck in any game, including blackjack, but there are also a number of things smart players can look for to help increase their odds of winning. While good memories for the cards in play and proper betting strategies will always give blackjack players the best shot at a win, the table on which they play can have a surprisingly big impact as well.

One trick used by many old time gamblers is to walk around the blackjack tables on the lookout for those that have the fewest chips. The idea is that those missing chips are now in the hands of happy blackjack players, meaning that the dealer may be having a cold streak. While there is of course no guarantee that this is the case, many old timers swear by this strategy for choosing the best blackjack table.

Another blackjack strategy is to look for tables with a higher than average percentage of happy, smiling players. Tables with lots of players holding lots of chips may also be tables where the dealer has been having a bad day. While the strategy is not perfect, it can be a good indication of the potential of the table.
