I’d vote for crapjack, too. Wackjack can sound like a fun, wacky version of blackjack. When you say crapjack, there is no doubt about what you’re implying.

“Wackjack” is a great name, and thanks for not referring to it as “Whackjack”.

“Wackjack.”

I think it will catch on soon.

I would’t be surprised if VegasTripping.com will start picking up the term very shortly.

wackjack – this would be a better name for a yanky-cranky massage parlor.

a finger in the bum costs extra, of course.

OK, wackjack makes sense. Now get it into your daily conversations. That will eventualy get it to the ear of casino management.

Sorry, Rex, and as much as I truly enjoy your site and skills, I am not able to support your “Wackjack” name. We will need to agree to disagree on this one.

“We” have been calling the 6:5 game “CrapJack” for quite awhile now. The derisive nature of that nickname seems to do it’s own thing and is pretty much self defining.

On recent visits when making “coupon runs” with my fistful of match play coupons (I made 6 trips in 2009) I often asked before sitting: “Is this table CrapJack of real Black Jack.”

Every one I asked did not need an explanation! (OK, so I only asked maybe 8 times total) I did receive many smiles after asking my question and getting the “Blackjack pays 6:5″ response.

How the racing found its way into the Sahara?

Bill Bennett (owner of the Sahara, dead) was a friend of Ralph Engelstad (owner of the Imperial Palace, also dead). That Ralph Engelstad also built the Las Vegas Speedway.

I’m a fan of calling it “crapjack.” It has a nice ring to it, but definitely enough of a derisive tone to express a negative opinion.

You’ve probably already considered and rejected this, but how about “Grayjack”?

Not quite blackjack, just as gray is not quite black.
