privador: Egybt

[privador]

Some one knows conditins in Egybt(Cairo and Sharm el sheik)
Im going there i next week.I have heard that there are surrender against ace?Is i true?

[Otto]

True.Watch out because casinos in Egypt exchange info about card counters.A flag is raised if a foreigner visits many casinos in the same period

[privador]

Ok,mayby some help needed.My main reason is vaction,not casino trip.Mayby i can have good conditions.After that i put in this forum little trip report.

I wrote a trip report on Egypt including Cairo and SES at Blackforum years ago, you can read it from blackforumonline.com. It might be history but I heard conditions were similar with higher hear.

Sorry for the typo.

[privador]

so i had vacation Sharm El Sheik.Im not prof BJ player anymore due to several reasons(bad conditions,heat,smoking ploppies,hard nights,security and so on).I have switched BJ to online poker.
I enjoyed beatiful desert.The sun heat was awful.And i was burned by sun.
I met Sharm 5 casinos.aladin,Sharm,Royal,Grand and 5-th casino that wasnt workind at that time
So i visited sharm casino,there was no surrender at all pen 5/6
same Royal.I played there few shoes and i won 10$..and left.
Aladin was only who offered 10ES 5-200 euro and had vip room
I had only 300 euro to play casino games.so i played spread one hand 5 2 hand 50
1-st day i finished 200 euro profit
2-nd day i finished 50 euro profit(mainly big bets lost)
3-nd day i finished 220 euro profit
so total was 530
There was several pit bosses.I think that if my bets would have been more than 100 i would have heat and ban.Also there was plenty of idiots who played BJ.And my game was diffrent, fast and i didnt care of heat

So no full surrender.Not good place to make money.U can lower your travel costs,but thats all.Perhaps Cairo has good conditions,becouse there are lots of casinos

Hi Privador

Can you provide me with some additional information.

1. Are all tables in Euro or are there tables in US$. If it is only Euro and you have US$ will they use the same rate to convert the $ to Euro chips and back to $.

2. Casinos per your list
Royal - Movenpick Hotel, Naama Bay
Grand - Sonesta Beach Hotel, Naama Bay
Alladin - Domina Coral Bay - WHERE IS THIS (cannot find) Is it close to the other casinos.
Sharm - WHICH HOTEL IS THIS

3. Other Casinos
From a search on the internet it appears that there are some other casinos from name of resorts but no information on their websites that I could find
Hilton Sharm Dreams Resort and Casino
Intercontinental Resort and Casino
It seems that they used to have casinos but no more. Is that the case.

Aladin was the only one using Euros. The cashier siad it would change our $ back initially then changed mind charging us 3% extra... and pocketed the difference himself...?

Aladin is at a resort away from the city.
