Mohegan Sun vs. Atlantic City for low limit (10-15)

Maybe you'll find this odd. I was once told no more blackjack in Foxwoods' Newport Room (6 deck, S17) but that I was welcome to play the 8 deck H17 games on the main floors.

That sounds very odd, although I am sure they will keep you on a very short leash.

This was a while ago. I would never post anything recent. I didn't take them up on their offer i.e. I didn't take the bait. Instead I stayed away for a period of time.

How about the fact that all $15 and lower tables have automatic shufflers at foxwoods. Doesn't that affect the game negatively?

Please don't feed the troll.

I'm somewhat new to this. Not trolling. A while back I read that automatic shufflers are not good, especially for skilled players.

ASMs are not good if you have the special skill of "shuffle-tracking" because they take that option out of play. Other than that they are generally good for the counter because they speed up play.

hicount,

Are you not aware that there are other options for you?

Closer to you than A.C. is the new casino at Monticello.

They open in < 6 days. I'll be the grinning old weirdo.

There are other casinos in SouthEastern New York State.

The best example is RIVERS in Schenectady.

(near Albany) where the $10 H17 games deal

7 of 8 decks AND give you Late Surrender.

A VERY playable game without heat for low stakes.

They open a mere < 6 days from now.

I will be the old weirdo looking highly intoxicated.

Yes, in my school. But we are super minority. The other school thinks ASM won't make "harmful" clumps. Or the clumps at ASM tables are natural and harmless.

Not true. Have you been to Foxwoods or just read about it? There are close to 50 tables that are hand shuffled, no machines, and they can be found on the main floors of all 4 casinos.

Personally, I seek out ASMs and have never had a problem or seen anything untoward.

Flash, is it safe to say that all NY state casinos have the same rules? I am within driving distance to the new Monticello casino. Have you been there already and what are the table rules for BJ? I keep checking the "Eastern US" section but hardly anyone posts there anymore.

[ZenMaster_Flash]

"Flash, is it safe to say that all NY state casinos have the same rules?"

There are actually more casinos in N.Y.S. than is readily apparent.
The newest ones are not Native American Enterprises ~ a rather
good thing.

Do not assume that all casinos have the same table conditions.
That would be wildly incorrect.

Yes, I have been to the new casino, "Resorts World, Catskills"
near Monticello, NY. It was day #2 and I had gotten there rather
early in the day. It was basically 'empty' of patrons.

The games "on the floor" were good but not great; which is
to say that the 6 deck High Stakes games are excellent and
the low stakes games are marginally playable. These tables
are H17, 8 deckers with Late Surrender and variable penetration.

This is a spacious, smoke-free, well-lit, comfortable, very
well-designed casino that is actually in Kiamesha Lake, N.Y.,
not Monticello ~ on the grounds of the once Über Popular
Concord Hotel. The casino is geared to be viewed as a resort,
90 miles from N.Y.C. Their website is dreadful.That is ironic
considering that they are claiming that they are a 1.2 Billion
Dollar 'startup'.

they're six deckers not 8 (at least the 2 pits with 25 min tables)
for some reason the discard trays are for 8 decks but they're actually using 6 decks.

"they're six deckers not 8 (at least the 2 pits with 25 min tables)

The 8 deck discard racks gives them the opportunity
to easily switch between 6 and 8 decks "on the fly."

They should break with custom and serve up 5 and
7 deck BJ game.

I saw 8 decks on their $15 minimum tables.

What penetration are you seeing?
