    My hat is off for those with a lot of gut and money to play that games. If I see a dealer with 2/3 cut for DD in his/her hand I just keep walking. I am too chicken to play with the wolf.

    Wisconsin has a good DD game in Black River falls. $15 minimum $200 maximim. 3:2 H17 das dft. Gotta get there when casino opens at 10 am otherwise tough to get a seat. Cut is at least 50% sometimes 60-75% depending on dealer...one time I saw an old bald dealer cut only 25. %...was his first time dealing....this games been around at this casino for at least 15 years. Within 2 hours you also have ho-chunk in Wisconsin Dells , Ho-chunk in Nekoosa, treasure island in Welch Minnesota. All those casinos have double deck and 6 deck with mostly same rules accept some DD only dbl on 9,10,11

    This is interesting. A while ago I called Ho Chunk in Wittenberg about their casino expansion. I asked them why they were going to have electronic blackjack instead of the real games. They told me their gaming compact limits their number of tables and if they had the real games they would have to close tables in their other casinos. Probably just bullshit, but maybe true.

    Biloxi is a funny place. People and staff are very nice, and then once they don’t like you as or nastier than anywhere on the backoffs/barrings. The Midwest is kind of like that too.

    I’ve heard some of the same stories. I had an AP friend who flew down there and played moderate stakes at the casino I think dalmation is referring to and he got backed off, and then flyered all over the place. I had no idea how sophisticated their network was. I wasn’t down there but he was texting me as he went from one casino to the next after his backoff and was met at the door by someone telling him he wasn't welcome. He was surprised at how quickly this was done and how widespread the flyering was. He visited some casinos 25 miles away and he was still being told he wasn’t welcome. A day later he changed his appearance by shaving his head and they were still picking him off.

    I like Biloxi, but for the same cost I can go to Wendover, Reno or LV. I had good pen and a good game at Hard Rock, IP and a couple others. Big heat from Treasure Bay. To the point I had two big ole Pit girls on each side of me literally bumping my arms and saying.....you should color up. Funny, they still send me offers!! Try it, you'll love it or hate it. I choose the west for the money I have to spend for airfare.

    Zee, here is a double deck blackjack trip designed just for you.

    Fly into MSP airport for a couple hundred bucks. It is located on the south side of the city. Then rent a car and head southwest to Prior Lake and play the Mystic Lake casino. From there head east over to near Hastings, MN and play Treasure Island. From there head northeast up to Turtle Lake WI and play the S17 double deck game (house edge .32) at St Croix Casino. From there head north again and again play the St Croix casino in Danbury, WI. Say hi for me to pit boss Mike in Danbury. From there head west 26 miles to the Grand Casino in Hinckley, then go up to Mille Lacs to play their double deck game. Then head south again to return to MSP airport. You might want to make a stop at Running Aces on your return trip south to MSP.

    All of these casinos are listed in the recent issue of CBJN as having double deck games. I have played at 4 of the 7 casinos I listed.

    Will check airfare. These days, it's rare I can get away for more than 3 days. How many miles will that cover from MSP airport and back?

    There’s nothing overly sophisticated about Biloxi. What you just described is almost every other casino town. Hell, if you have enough notoriety via databases, some places will flyer you in the entire state. Being flyered in a given city after a back off is common.

    Yeah, you’re probably right. I never claimed Biloxi was more sophisticated than other areas. Both of us were surprised at how quickly he got backed off when he walked into the various casinos. Sometimes he got met at the door and told to leave. We were also surprising at how far out from Biloxi the flyering extended.

    Not trying to get into a debate on which area has the most sophisticated flyer system. Just relating an interesting story about what happened to someone I know who got fliered in Biloxi. Due to my low stakes, this has never happened to me. I experienced it a through texts he sent me throughout the day. That day was very interesting. We both laughed about it when it was happeniing. He’d walk into a casino and text me: “got kicked out again before I even made it to the tables. Lol”.

    Eventually he packed up and drove to New Orleans since he’d burned out Bilixo.
