    I'm livin in the very north. The nearest countable game i know is on a cruiseship that starts like 50 miles away.
    They have following rules with a houseedge around 0,6%:

    - 6 Deck
    - Stand soft 17
    - 80-90% pen
    - European no peak
    - double only 9-11
    - No surrender

    This game, i'd say, would be considerable for counting.

    But there are other things to consider:

    - you have to pay close to 200$ for gettin on it for 2 days
    - they have a minimum bet of 5$ and a max bet of 40$. So betspread is capped at 1:8.
    - with these low bets, getting in the spend costs by counting is quite hard, if even possible.
    - casino is open for about 12h a day
    - BJ-Table is crowded (id say full) for about 8 h a day

    So the way i'd say it: It would be a countable game with lots of fun for me - but the trip would be -EV because of the costs.

    @all who are laughing at these numbers, remember: I'm doin this for fun to beat the game. If I'm up 50$ for 2 days of play I'd be glad to have had a lot of fun and still win some money
