How would you rank casinos in the listed areas?

How do you rank the casinos listed in the sample table? Is there a correlation between those that do the best business and those that offer the best Blackjack games?

Casino	Best Business	Best BJ Games	Total/2	Composite Ranking
Las Vegas	3	2	2.5	2, 3
Reno	6	5	5.5	6
California	5	4	4.5	4
Northwest	8	9	8.5	9
Other West	9	7	8	8
Midwest	4	6	5	5
South	10	10	10	10
Pennsylvania	1	1	1	1
Atlantic City	11	11	11	11
East Coast Above AC.	7	8	7.5	7
East Coast Below AC	2	3	2.5	2,3

I know the listing does not do justice to specific casinos within a given area, but it is just an attempt to get a big picture view.

Next question: How do you rank the following reasons for casinos doing better business?

1. Location, e.g., proximity to large population centers, easy access, etc.
2. Better games.
3. Other factors, e.g., shows, ambiance, restaurants, nearby attractions, night clubs, etc.

Would your ranking of these three factors change if the economy was fully recovered?

Last question: Do you think prospects will be better or worse for Advantage Players over the next ten years?

If they tighten blackjack so people seek other advantages they will find much bigger advantages to exploit but if they allow advantage play to be viable at BJ people will continue to pursue the lower advantage plays that have all the easily accessible info to learn from.

I think in the next ten years the games will get tougher but the casinos more plentiful so when you get BO from one there is plenty more to hit. By the time an AP runs through the casinos he can go back and start over with no one recognizing him.

I sure hope that 6:5 goes down the tubes .

Sounds all good except for the sharing of info, flyering and the like.
