    Looking for Help Advice

    Hey guys and gals,

    I'm looking for some help finding playable games outside of Vegas. I'm not a new player (paid my way through UNLV a long time ago with UBZ and then Zen back when Vegas was crawling with very decent 1D and 2D games), but I've finally gotten to the point in life where I have time to travel and play BJ part-time again. I live in the Midwest but still hit Vegas a few times a year. I'm pretty familiar with what's available in Vegas these days, but I'd love to have some games closer to home as well. I'm not looking for top secret info on exploitable dealers or anything like that, just help finding games in the Midwest (say within a 10 hour drive or so of Columbus Ohio) that are playable with a decent bankroll (table minimums wouldn't be an issue). Do any of you folks share information like this privately, or am I asking too much? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Both PA and MO have decent games as do casinos in Indiana and other places. Try purchasing one time, CBJN, or https://www.americancasinoguide.com/...-by-state.html

    I guess it really depends on individual casinos. Some casinos manage their blackjack tables so well that all of their tables are full at all times. Rarely can an AP have any chance.

    Thanks. I've never played outside of Vegas even though I've lived in the East for many years now and I'm constantly surprised by how far and wide gaming has spread since I last played.

    Vegas is the worst place in the country for counting cards.

    I thought Las Vegas is the the heaven for card counting. Competition has made casinos in LV to welcome counters.

    In casinos outside of Las Vegas, a majority of players are regular and local, dealers are less experienced and casinos don’t get as many good card counters. On the Las Vegas Strip and downtown casinos, visitors are the norm and they are more vary of card counters.

    Thou dost exaggerate.... Actually, the proximity of casinos, the number available to you definitely makes it worthwhile. Imagine flying to another location, say PA, rent a car, drive in often heavy traffic to get to a casino, tables are all full or you get backed off in the first 10 minutes. I am sure it’s happened to many. Now, you have to go get back in your car, drive a long way to get to the next. In fact, it happened to me once, drove to the other casino that had some concert going on, parking was difficult to find and then no tables were available or you had to play a full table.

    In Las Vegas, even with the parking charge, once you park, you can go hunting to find your table.

    I agree with Zee on this one. In fact, I just got back tonight from a three-day trip there. I've been going to Vegas every two-to-four weeks for the past five years, even during the COVID period. Definitely some solid games there. One casino, in particular still takes my action although my cumulative win there is upper-five figures.

    Lol there are plays everywhere. But to find them. You should commit completely or you will never find them.
