Double-deck in Reno

I'm looking for double-deck games in Reno. What are your top 3 recommendations?

I have a car so transportation is not a problem.

Thanks,

They don't pay blackjack 6:5?

in Reno. I think most downtown casinos "experimented" with 6:5 blackjacks, but the regular bjs are now coming back. I only speak this from my experience, but when I was there several months ago the 6:5 bjs seemed more prevalent whereas the last time I was there a couple of weeks ago I couldn't find those-pseudo bjs any longer. (I played in the El Dorado, Fitz, Circus Circus, Siena, Golden Phoenix, etc.) I'm not a Reno resident (and my experience is very limited), but if this trend is true, then I think this is a great news. The people spoke (with their foot/money) and casinos had to listen.

~Black Jack.

Try Atl*ntis, Pepper Grinder, BoomT, and the places in Sparks.

All have decent SD. Avoid DD, as SD is much better.

Thank you guys for your inputs.

I went to Las Vegas a month ago. All the single-decks I saw were 6:5, including downtown and strip. So I was very disappointed. This is why I asked for double-deck in Reno. I didn't expect there are still *real* single-deck existing...

I will use cover play in single deck.

My question is: If I'm way down, do I still need cover? Can I use the best play to recover faster?

Could you please tell me what is the usual penetration for SD?

I'll just leave it at that. I would rather not get too specific on a public board. Of course, I also tend to be a bit paranoid.

The places I mentioned all have good penetration by Reno standards, which is saying alot.

They will boot you even if you are way down. All of my Reno barrings have come during losing sessions when I have dropped my cover out of frustration.

A good lesson to learn from. I will decide the *thickness* of the cover by myself. :-)

The reason I asked this is because I plan to use bet spread of 1-5 at SD (smaller spread should be safer). To beat the house, I hate penetration of less than 50%. After hearing it is good, I feel relaxed. Thanks.

Last time when I played in Las Vegas, I played double-deck with spread $10 to $50. I played without cover. After some hands, the dealer shouted at my play: "Radical play!"

Is that something I should worry about? (I immediately quit the shift anyway.) Could someone explain these jargons by the dealer and how serious they are? Thanks.
