    Cause of tougher rules than in the past...

    There are some AP's who just want to eke out a living or maybe earn $50k a year as an AP, have a few casinos nearby, find good games and they play within tolerance levels. They do this for a few years. Its possible they do this because they simply do not have a huge BR or are mostly part-timers. Then, word gets out, a team or two or maybe some slash/burn type APs come to town and over 3-5 days, make a killing and leave. The casino responds with less penn, more heat, tougher rules and the local part time AP's no longer have the decent games they use to have.

    So, the question, who is responsible for todays tougher games, the rise of 6/5 BJ, CSM's and more? Greedy AP's or greedy management or what? Should local AP's protect their casinos by outing any slash and burn type AP that invades their crop..err casino?

    I guess I am about to get attacked, lol.

    Subject it to the "reasonable man rule" and see what you come up with.

    The guilty party in the transmogrification of Blackjack is the "gaming giant" currently known as
    C.E.T., and long known as "The Evil Empire" and often referred to as "Caesars" or "Sleazers."
    They own many properties across the USA. They have used a strategy of generating high patron
    loyalty through generous comp' practices and "Data Mining."

    Of course, they are selling off properties and restructuring debt, as they are in bankruptcy proceedings.
