I can only speak for the area I play in and I would have to say just a little. This is due to the fact that SE has all CSM now and has 8 deck in HS. SE always was bad, for the most part, so it is no real lose. I have in the last few weeks lost one of my "gems in the rough" which I feel badly about, but all else is static, except for fewer tables being opened than in the past. I blame this on an attempt to keep cost down, but a short sighted move on the part of the casino.

What we need here is a few more casinos opening in the Southern part of the state, and they are in the works.

I have heard that the Ill. and Ind. games have slipped considerably but this may be due to higher taxation rates having a negative effect. Maybe someone can shed some light on this situation who is from the area.

ETF has also reported of a former good house turning into a "Burn Joint".

On the other hand EK reports of a casino going from 6d to 4d, my favorite game.

Detroit has a dd game now, and that is a positive. But some casinos there have gone to 8 deck games.

What do Ya'll think?

Ouchez.
