    Oklahoma is within reasonable driving distance but I have yet to go there. I wish there was a way to know which casinos had no ante and which casinos would require no ante if you get a players card. I just dont want to pop in to every one to find out. If anyone can PM me or share here, I would appreciate it.

    Right?

    I know of one store in that state that doesn't care. One. And it's a bad game, but you can spread has much as you want as long as you're paying the ante. Which, by the way, increases as your bet does.

    Blackjack is supposed to be positive off the top, so they charge an ante so they presumably get paid since every patron presumably wins. In reality, just like anywhere, some games are better and some are worse, but I've yet to find one positive off the top. To comply with the law, the table hold is given back to the players in terms of monthly or weekly prizes, tournaments, etc. I suspect there's some skimming going on, otherwise why would they care if you counted? Its player money, right?

    But yeah, a lot of them are very sweaty.

    Zee, do you want to get killed in a tornado. Oklahoma is a dangerous place.

    There is no reason why you would have to make a trip there to find out which casinos have "no ante" days. Go on the internet and find all the OK casinos and then call them and ask them if they have ante free days. The casino web site might also mention this.

    Zee, here is some old info on this.
    https://www.blackjackinfo.com/commun...-casino.19543/

    Here is one example of finding an Oklahoma casino that offers "no ante" just by reading their web site, but I would also call and confirm. Now you are going to have to do some work yourself. You can't expect others to do all this for you.

    PS. That upper midwest trip is still waiting for you.

    As I stated - they SKIM cash (a la mid-20th century) - mob style.

    Come on now Zee knows how to get out of a situation like that. While in disguise as a female he would just click his heels together three times while saying: there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

    Zee, I agree with MWP stay out of Oklahoma.

    At an Indian Casino would it make sense to cash in chips between shoes if your up ?

    If it is true they can steal your chips but not cash .

    say you bought in with 2k, and now have 12k at the table .

    would it make sense to leave during shuffle to cash in 9k ?

    at worst case scenario they can only steal 3k chips

    Regardless of intent, that’s called STRUCTURING.

    If you don't hold US citizenship, it does not apply.

    Good luck arguing that in a US court as a non-citizen.
