    Atlantic City is the better trip, even with the shittier games. PA casinos are too spread out. Harrahs, Rivers, and Parx are each 30 minutes drive or more apart. Atlantic City has 9 casinos all walking distance or $2.50 Jitney apart.

    What's your experience with backoffs there? Do they target red-chippers?

    They do indeed target red chippers. Also they skip the backoff and go straight to the trespass.

    They are the worst casino of the Philly 4. They target players that won't present their casino card. Will keep distracting you especially they feel you are counting even you just play red chips.

    I’m not sure which Philly casino you are referring to, but I was backed off not trespassed at one place. It all depends on the staff and the store though so I wouldn’t be surprised if it does happen somewhere in Philly. Also the lower your bets, the less likely you will be caught, that’s just the way it is. But it can still happen, try to avoid staff who seem sharp or recognize a pattern in what you do.

    I've only been backed off at two but they were both super polite.
