Don Johnson (born 1962) is a professional gambler, blackjack player, and former corporate executive, who beat Atlantic City casinos for over $15 million during a six-month period in 2011. ==Gambling== At age 30, Johnson was hired to manage Philadelphia Park, a racetrack that evolved into the Parx Casino. After managing that and other racetracks, he served as a state regulator in Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and Wyoming. In the early 2000s, he founded Heritage Development, a Wyoming-based company that uses computer-assisted wagering programs for horse racing.〔 During the financial crisis of 2008 casinos became desperate to entice high rollers. In 2010, Johnson was made offers to play at the highest stakes. He negotiated several changes to standard casino blackjack in order to gain a mathematical edge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=This Man Won $15M at Blackjack, How Did He Do It? )〕 These changes included dealers being forced to stay on soft 17, a 20% rebate where casino would refund 20% of his losses (20 cents to every dollar) for losses exceeding $500,000, six decks, re-split aces, and others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Don Johnson #2: How He Beat Blackjack )〕 During a 12 hour marathon at the Tropicana, Johnson recalls three consecutive hands where he won $1.2 million including one hand where he profited $800,000. Johnson bet $100,000 and received two eights which he split. Surprisingly, another two eights came and he split again wagering a total of $400,000. He received a three, a two, another three, and another two on the four hands allowing him to double down on each hand. He was now wagering a total of $800,000. The dealer busted and Johnson ended up winning $800,000 in profit. Under these conditions Johnson was able to beat Tropicana out of nearly $6 million, The Borgata out of $5 million, and Caesars out of $4 million. His total profits neared $15.1 million and seriously hurt casino profits. Though not banned from the Tropicana and Borgata, these two casinos stopped Johnson from playing under those conditions and limits, while Caesars effectively banned him from playing.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Johnson (gambler)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
