kiosk: S17-less in seattle

[kiosk]

got a friend's wedding to attend in the SeaTac area this weekend. Didn't see much good table conditions for any of the indian stores but at least the limits are low compared to the east coast, so what the hell I say. here are the spots I have mapped out so far, anyone who can verify the data below please let me know:

Muckleshoot
6D H17 nDAS 75% $5-250 (2 tables)
8D H17 nDAS 75% $5-500 (25 tables)

Tulalip
6D H17 DAS 75% $5-500 (24 tables)
***conflicting data for DAS and RSA...anyone?

Emerald Queen
8D H17 nDAS 75% $5-500 (25 tables)

7 Cedars
8D H17 DAS 65% $2-500 (21 tables)
***this casino may deal 7 decks to match their name?

Clearwater/Suquamish
2D H17 nDAS 55% $5-500 (4 tables)
6D H17 DAS 75% $5-500 (19 tables)

Point (No Point)
no data (less than 10 tables)

Just playing basic strategy and flat betting so penetration is not too important. H17 I can accept but I never thought DAS would be such a luxury in blackjack, considering I come from the east coast of mediocre games.

any reviews and/or additional data for the above and other nearby casinos is apperciated. also any info about decent pay VP machines (I believe washington state is all non-random VLT's so I doubt it).

In the Seattle Area you will find small non tribal casinos where at low limits you can find many comparable or better games than you listed below. There are probably at least 10 such Casinos within 10 miles of the airport. Just to name a few Grand Central, Nugget, 2 Silver Dollar locations, Chips, Wizards, Rascals, Skyway Bowl, Roman, Freddies, Cascade Bowl, and a few more that I am sure I am forgeting. You can go to one of these Casinos and pick up a magazine called "Western Gambling Journal" which will have advertising for these casinos and addresses/phone numbers. You could actually hit most of these in less time than it would take you to drive to 2 or 3 of the ones you listed as they are spaced much farter apart. Let us know what you think after you played! Best of Luck and Good Cards to you!

alternate hand shuffled shoes...if you can track it is playable else ugh!

yes, 7 because they couldn't squeeze 8 into their 6 deck shoes. Too far from Seattle as it is near Port Angeles.

> Clearwater/Suquamish

correct

I dont know if 6 card Charlie's is still in business, but if it is then you should go there as a basic player.

Unfortunately 6 Card Charlies was run out town by Pierce County. You can find them at Long Beach now which is quite a distance from Seattle.

Just combine the trip with a visit to Shoalwater and Quinault beach Indian casinos. It's definitely a bit of a drive. They do have nice rooms at Quinault and a decent double deck game.

A little north of Seattle, but found a very friendly game at the Sagit.

6D H17 DAS 75-80% $3-300 2 tables (more at $5)

But, Split and resplit Aces, DAS. Came up three times with me in 27 sessions. Also, can play 2 pads at $5.

The Quinalt's double deck game is terrible. 2D H17 DD on 10 and 11 only and no DAS. The player is at a disadvantage of about 0.7%. Forget it.

So where would you play in the South Sound?
I like Hawks Prairie in Lacey so far, and I want to go back to Red Wind near Yelm - even though it's a dump.

I made the mistake of playing at Lucky Eagle last weekend near Rochester, and I couldn't beat the tough rules for double deck.
