Things learned

- If you split 2 aces, you only get one more card for each ace (like doubling)
- Wisconsin is beautiful but full of mosquitos in the summer and snow in the winter. Diane the croupier: "I got tired of shovelling snow in Winconsin so moved to Vegas and ended up shovelling something else instead"
- Insurance in Blackjack is not worth it (I never do and asked if anyone ever does, Diane said "the book says" the odds were too high to make it worth it)
