I was wasting some time waiting to give a ride to a friend and wandered into the old Burnaby Gateway casino to visit folks I knew from my BJ playing days BCSM (Before Continuous Shuffle Machine)

The owners/ops have never been the brightest biz folks and even now, on a Friday morn, the cheapest BJ table they have has a $15 dollar minimum when their competitors not that far away have CSM tables with a $5 min. Did I mention these folks aren't the brightest biz people?

I chat with dealers, supers and security folks and wander upstairs to look for more when I come across a pit with 2 $5 dollar min tables. And the print on the felt reads "Blackjack pays 6 to 5"

Wow. All I can say is...wow. I feel sorry for my friends who work there as the management is determined to screw it up as much as possible by such adverse actions.
