    Biloxi Blackjack Rules

    Has anyone played Biloxi lately? I'm curious if they offer surrender on their 6 and 8 deck games, what the minimums are? H17 or S17? DAS? and what penetration they offer? How many hands you can split to and can you resplit Aces.

    I was just there recently. There's LS at the Beau and a couple other S17 games around town.

    I agree with Flash. Just buy a copy of CBJN from BJ21.com. It's only $17 for a copy. There are some inaccuracies, but it's a good starting point.

    Before you head to Biloxi, do some research and carefully decide where you'll play. Not sure what your stakes are, but Biloxi is notoriously sweaty, so there's a lot of casinos in that area that I didn't even attempt to play. And once you get backed off, consider your trip over. I suffered a similar fate, but my BOs didn't start kicking in until my final day, so no big loss for me.

    I was there about a month ago. H17 is main rule; can DAS; no surrender at Harrah's. Double deck and six deck, but some of side bets slowed down game even when there wasn't that many people at table. But I have heard there is better rules/play at Treasure Bay by another "learned" person from this board. I didn't get to play as much as I would like as I was there for business and a short trip.

    Treasure bay is all h17 now, pretty recent. I think beau HL and the one within a short walk of beau are only s17 remaining. almost all stores are the reddest of red chip stores, if you want/need to find $5 tables good news for the most part, if you want/need to put large bets down bad news for the most part.

    Treasure Bay is still S17. I was just there very recently. CBJN erroneously stated that Treasure Bay changed all games to H17 two issues ago, but has since corrected the error in their latest issue.

    TB was one of my favorite casinos in Biloxi. Very "dumpy," but they tolerated me for a while. I finally got the tap after scoring a few big wins there.

    You can also find a good S17 game in Hard Rock's HL room, but your BR needs to be able to afford a $50 unit 6D game.

    I recently was on a 2 week road trip through the south hitting up some games and I gotta say Biloxi was awesome compared to the shit games I play in the midwest. I made more there in a week than I make in a few months time locally.

    S17 DD with up to 80% pen at the Bay was a gold mine over the course of a week. Pretty sure one dealer got canned after his down with me. He dealt pitch so badly that I could see his down card almost every hand we played. After he was tapped out two suits followed him with a security guard. Sketchy as hell leaving that place at night with a lot of cash on me. Felt way more safe at Beau but that place was serious sweat shop when I spread from light green to chunky black on their $50 min DD.

    Harrahs is a joke used for comp rooms dumpy casino and the air barely kicks on in the room and its hot as fk down there. Buffet was comped but was downright awful.

    Treasure Bay damn near refused my play from the moment I refused a players card. And really shit a brick when I began to spread. Was never backed off, but they made it clear that I wasn't welcomed there from the moment I spread as a refusal. Maybe someone on this board pissed in their Wheaties shortly before my arrival lol.

    Can you explain further? I've played Treasure Bay multiple times. They always seem to sweat the action, but they conduct an extensive evaluation process before delivering the tap. My cumulative life time win was close to 20K before they made the BO official.

    Ryemo, both visits were during the day and not too crowded. Once was heads up the other with one other player. $25 DD. The PC immediately came up to me for a card as I bought in for a none suspicious amount, however still greens. He slapped excuse after excuse as I refused rated play. My first spread from $25-$75 and the dealer squeals checks play. PC immediately returns to harass me some more about playing rated. Dealer called checks play with every bet raise after my second refusal. And after my third refusal (In a matter of about 6 minutes), PC picked up the phone yet again and then propped himself at his "office" glaring at me. His body language said enough, and I didn't wish to provoke anything further. The local casino's share photos, and I didn't want to risk more shops at the hands of this guy. My very first experience here went pretty much the same minus the continuing players card hounding, and that was playing $10 DD spreading to a whopping $60. Did you play rated?

    DD will always give you heat about player cards. Not so at shoes.

    Stevie Wonder,

    I strictly played the shoes vs the DD there and I also played unrated. They eventually got my name though, but I'm not 100% sure how. I have a couple theories though. As as far as them sweating you, that's normal.
