Disappointment at the Hollyw00d Casino last week. All tables were MindPlay except for two in the VIP area that were closed. The game is incredibly slow. The PitBoss called them frustration tables and ignored the screen. Although no one seemed to pay any attention to the players, the shuffle was paranoid. Up to seven riffles on one pair of grabs, as if that did anything but slow the game further.

The Atlantis was the best I found on the island this trip. (Dunes is closed for construction.) I had the chance to talk to an Atlantis dealer off the property. She said policy was 5/6 penetration. There is no notch but they did manage close to that with some variability. The pit paid little attention to black play ? probably because there were some very poor players.
