Exactly. So on these few mgm tables with most favorable rules, do clumps coincide?

I was only there for a half hour or so, so I don't think I can say for sure if there was any clumping or not. I was just checking the games out trying to get a feel for how much heat there is going to be.

Fair includes reasonable clumps appearing in reasonably frequency. I have seen ASM creates extreme clumps almost every shoe all day. Then the day after, the same ASM returned to fair status.

In my experience, the casinos with bad rules, their ASM ALWAYS generate fair sequence. The casino with good rules, their ASM seems to have the ability to generate clump shoes on demand. I guess every casino needs to make money some way.

Why do you keep repeating this nonsense.It belongs in the vodoo section.
So based on your theories Mgm will program their machines to not clump on the bad 6 to 5 games but to clump on the 3 to2 good games.
Ya that sounds logical.

MGM will say their 6/5 tables are full, but they will never know how many $25 blackjack players who will only play 3/2 walked out the door unwilling to play those 6/5 games.

People are complaining about 6:5 on their yelp page which is a promising sign

When my ploppy friend was trying to get me to play a 6:5 table with him he said, "Sure the payout is a tiny bit less, but how many blackjacks do you plan to get anyway? Two? Three? What's 2$ if we can play on a 5$ table instead of the 25$ one?" They know the payout is less, they just don't understand how greatly it affects the house edge.

From their website under ‘Table Games’:

“Ready, set, play. May the odds be in your favor.”

HA!! * BARF *

You made a mistake when explaining soft hands. You needed to add that for a hand to be a soft hand that the ace which can be counted as 1 or 11 is counted as an 11 so if hitting a card caused your total to be more than 21 counting the ace as 11, it could then be counted as a 1 so you don't bust. The way you put it all hands containing an ace are soft hands. If a hand of 17 contains an ace counted as a 1 it is a hard hand. If it contains and ace counted as 11 for the 17 total it is a soft hand.

I didn't write the article just helped with some of the 6:5 research.

Went for the first time last Friday night. Tables are pricey ($25 min for 3:2) but decent rules (S17, DAS). They wanted to raise the table min to $50, so I left (in Vegas, they'd usually "grandfather" you in at the min when you sat down).

Given the table mins for the other games ($25 craps, etc.), I foresee this casino being profitable, at least for now.

Next on the M G M expansion agenda is Springfield, Mass.

The opening date keeps changing and is now fall of 2018. That's as close as they'll say.

MGM left Foxwoods in April 2014. Even though it was 3 years ago, I'll bet they have the customer data base. That would be a good start.

Maybe some of the same idiots involved with running Atlantic City into the ground are involved with this project!Hahaha
