petros: CSM's in Greece

[barman]

Conclusion:

Regency Casino Thessaloniki:
CSMs all over. About 20 blackjack tables, 10 euros minimum. 24h open. Talked to a dealer the other day and told me about rumours that CSMs will be withdrawn. After all, there were rumours about installing CSMs, why not the opposite?

Porto Carras Chalkidiki:
CSMs all over. Around 5-7 blackjack tables, 5 euros minimum. 6pm - 5am open. No rumours, but the casino is a rather small one, so I don't think that CSMs will last long there.

Casino Magic Xanthi:
No CSMs. I have no info for the minimum bet and the opening hours either. Please, someone inform us. The only thing I know is the fact that it's crowded (7 seat game all-time)

Corfu Casino:
No CSMs. 8pm-3am open. JSTAT has told us of the conditions. How about the minimum? And what about the blackjack tables, is it a small casino?

Casino Loutraki (Athens):
CSMs in about all the blackjack tables. 24h open. At around 21.00 tables with no CSMs are open, does anyone know for how long? Minimum bet?

Casino Parnitha (Athens):
No info from me.

Casino Rio:
No info from me.

Casino Syros:
No info from me.

Casino Rhodes:
Minimum bet 25. Is it true? No additional info.

There has been a site, www.greekcasinos.gr....

Does anyone know what has happened to it? Has it been renamed? It contained VERY useful information.

As far as accomodation concered, well, I agree with gambler, we can afford no more than 30 euros BJT!

We are really maniacs, psychos with casino play, we already lose fortunes on blackjack tables, at least let us not give money away!

Me? I can stay in a barn house, in a stable... Are there any farmers online to give me info of their motel? Thanx in advance!

CSM now are allowed in greek casinos by recent law. If the legislation will be changed, casinos will operate accordingly. It will be attempt to introduce law against CSM. Right now most casinos in Greece try to purchase and install CSM asap.
Corfu has 5 decks, crowded tables, 6.15 hours opened (from 8.30 up to 2.45), 250 max.
Xanthi opened from 18-00 until 7-00, crowded, a lot of CC, counters on every table. Casino isn't safe, russian mafiozi play there.
There are a lot of CC in greek casinos, so awareness is very high. The only thing stops casino management of barring CC is the legislation. If you are a foreigner you are more likely to be barred.

i thought the holiday palace was only around 60 euros when i stayed there a few weeks ago!!???
the taxis are so expensive i doubt it makes sense to stay outside the casino .. its too cold now anyway.. and most other hotels are closed for winter .. you must take a snapshot of that famous corfu island ..bjt,..

Hmm, I expect in Corfu they ll introduce CMS too after mails like this, when many counters come to this place. The Casino s introduce CMS cause there are to many counters playing to excessive.
