    Yeah I'm starting to run into the same problems. I try to rotate casinos as often as possible, but they are getting good at catching on. I don't bet huge so hopefully that will allow me to play in st.louis a little longer. River city, casino queen, and lumiere make it tough for me to play. Actually I'm not allowed at casino queen anymore.

    It's the others that don't let me play.

    Omaha/Council Bluffs has good games, but are sweaty. CBJN is not correct in this case, however, as to the rules. It needs updating.

    29 keeps getting closed due to flooding. We had family coming from there for a birthday celebration last weekend, and there were unexpectedly two hours late due to sudden road closures. I would scratch Omaha for a few weeks.

    Thanks RCJH. I am now considering driving through Indiana to Cincinnati playing about 6 casinos and then visit a friend in Dayton, OH. Anyone know anything about casino in Evansville, IN, Florence, IN and French lick, IN as well as casinos near Cincinnati (3 casinos around there, I think).

    Zee, years ago Bootlegger use to talk about a casino around Cincinnati as he was from that area. Too bad he is no longer with us. Anyway, I think it might of been Belterra Casino. If I remember it wasn't the easiest to get to, but back then they had pretty good games. I just checked CBJN and I was impressed with what it shows.

    I'm familiar with these casinos. The main problem with Belterra and French lick is they are small (a little smaller than Lumiere in St. Louis, for reference). So if it's not busy, there may only be one table open, and if they are busy, like a weekend night, it can be tough to get a seat or play HU. Horseshoe, near Louisville is much bigger. I don't know about Evansville.

    I will probably stop at Evansville (Tropicana), drive to French Lick and then Belterra and on to Cincinnati. Casinos likely will include Casino Aztar, French lick, Horseshoe, Belterra. Rising Star. Anyone know the casinos in Columbus? Maybe 1-2 weeks from now.

    Maybe, if I decide I would never go back there again, lol. I do use a bit of deception.

    Though the idea that if I did, these casinos will get worried, find as much info as they can on me, circulate my picture to everyone in the casino and be ready for my visit, is amusing. They would have spent more money and time on a part time recreational player that might win $200 from them.

    We operate on logic and casino operators operate on stupidity. By underestimating their stupidity we do ourselves a disservice!
