Quick, possibly stupid question...
 

I was just wondering if when I'm playing Blackjack or Poker if there's actually other players seated at my table or if they're all NPCs? Is there a way to tell if there's actual players?

nope there is 1 npc (the dealer) and the rest should be other players however i think in some pubs there are multiple npc playing each other

yes, there is a way to tell. If before you joi the game you look at the players seated at the table if there is a name above them then they are real if there isn't then their not.

Thanks for the answer....hope it was a NPC who watched me lose $5K at the blackjack table last night....that was sad.
