Can you confirm the stories that Pit 5 meant to use ASM, but on the first day OP visited, ASM malfuctioned so they have to hand shuffled but the ASM problem has been fixed?Originally Posted by VegasBigDeal
You are a real piece of work. I will be looking forward to that dead of winter report.

Looking forward to that Sept 2nd report.
By the way I know where that hidden bathroom is.
Yes, you know everything for a guy who never leaves his state. Google is your friend.
Tell all those globe trotting APs not to fuel up their Gulfstreams just yet. Wait till I check the pen at Tiverton Casino Hotel. And keep bumping this thread that you don't want anyone to see.
You can really piss some people off when you shit in their backyard, especially if they have something to be pissed about. Ive been passed off at dickheads spouting stuff about my backyard, when it was inappropriate to do so.

Three does not get it are you fu----- shitting me? You are jumping the gun way too far down the road. Sure some of the little guys have advanced to a point where they now play with a nice small edge, but where did it begin? It all starts with a prospective new player stumbling upon one of these boards and is usually recommended a book to start his/her education. If that person is serious will follow the board closely and possibly read a few more books. Now, who puts more time and effort trying to instill in these new players that learning to count cards is one thing, being able to get away with it requires a new set of skills that you frankly cannot find in books? Many long-time players put in some effort in helping out, but very few put in the time and effort that Three does, it is just a fact. Why does he do it without question or obligation? I do not know you would have to ask him. Before you credit paymypush for what you think is a good deed, you better think of Three's painless efforts to put the player in a much better position to succeed.
Three, and I express differences and clash occasionally but never on the subject of casino comportment, which we often agree, as I highly respect his ideas on that topic.

I was there opening weekend. After the first crazy night (2-hour wait to get in), it was not very crowded. I saw only two pits open: one with four 3:2 tables, $50 min, no MSE, with about the same pen mentioned earlier here. Other pit was $25 CSM - that was actually pretty full.

Not all big players network. Some of the big guys do all the research themselves which requires hard work and they are used to it. Some of these people watch the boards closely without participating in and looking for some moron to spill a valuable nugget. No one worries about the little guy ruining the game just getting in the way.
If it wasn't very crowded on an the opening weekend, this is surely a bad sign for MGM Springfield. While Mohegan (and probably Foxwoods) don't have many tables open on weekdays, the money (for the casino) is made on weekends.
Mohegan "introduced" 6:5 blackjack in July 2018 at the $10 tables, and have a pit where the minimum is $25 (3:2 but with 8 decks and hit soft 17). The tables are not crowed during the week (except where only a few open tables are available in the $15 pit). So Mohegan is seeing the early effects of 6:5 blackjack, H17, and especially 8 decks -- and it's not good for the casino. Mohegan needs to wake up if it wants to succeed during the week by having decent rules.
The $50 pit at Mohegan is fairly crowded during afternoons/evenings during the week where 3:2 exists and staying on soft 17 remain. However, players have been really upset at the introduction of eight decks. There is a limited number of $50 players, however.
Twin Rivers in RI has had an adverse effect on the number of players at Mohegan (and maybe Foxwoods) and with MGM in Springfield opening and another casino in RI opening, crowds may very well get smaller at these two Connecticut casinos.
I wonder if at some point casinos in New England will need better rules to attract players to their casino. Players who gamble need to win sometimes in order to return another day. Bad rules just decrease the "chances" of winning sometimes and the result will be fewer players returning.
