While we at BlackjackHacks typically like to focus on blackjack strategy and what to do in various situations, today we'd like to discuss a special contest that players can win. The contest is called "Play Blackjack with Nickleback," and as the name implies, players will get the opportunity to play blackjack against the popular rock band. 

As for the specifics of the contest, it will take place from now until May 18th, 2012, and those wanting to get involved can find out how to win through "Clear Channel" rock stations, which are present all throughout the United States. On May 21st, 2012, a winner will be announced, and they'll receive $5,000 to play blackjack with Nickleback in a Las Vegas suite. Seeing as how your $5k bankroll is being funded by Clear Channel, this is definitely a positive expected value situation.

Chad Kroeger, who is the lead singer of Nickleback, spoke about the blackjack contest by saying, "We can't wait to have one of our amazing fans plus five lucky friends win the opportunity to join us in one of the wildest cities in the world." He also added, "Every show is a party with our fans but the Las Vegas shows are always some of the most memorable (at least for that night). So get your game face on cause we're going to play blackjack in Sin City."

Assuming you're lucky enough to win this contest, don't forget to study up on your blackjack strategy. After all, the winner will get the aforementioned $5,000, and it would be great to turn this into a big profit for yourself! Even if you don't win the contest, you can always play online blackjack and try to earn some money this way too.
