Foxwoods and MS

What are table minimums at FW and Mohegan Sun these days? Also, what are the conditions like? Can you you find a 6D game with $15 or $25 table minimum during the weekday? Thanks.

Can't speak to Foxwoods, but you should be able to find $15 and $25 tables at MS during the week and even during the day on weekends, though the $15 tables will be crowded and most are in the non-smoking areas. Conditions generally are 6D, LS, DAS, DoA, resplit to four hands (except no splitting tens and split aces get one card each). Pen. generally poor (1-3/4 to 2 decks cut off). No mid-round entry at most high-limit tables and the $25 tables in Sky Casino. Tables in Earth Casino that allow MRE also have match the dealer side bet, so they are crowded and play is slow.

Which casino has the $15 tables, Sky or Earth? Are they crowded even during the weekday?

Does Sky Casino allow MRE?

Sky has $15 6D under the turtle dome (no smoking area) that allows MRE. Other pits in Sky also may have $15 tables, but they will be few. Crowded on weekends but I can't speak to weekdays. Pit in Sky near buffet no MRE, $25 and $50 mins. $15 and $25 tables around Wolf Den in Earth casino allow MRE. Many more $25 tables than $15. Minimums often start out low early (you may even find a $10 table if you look hard) and are raised throughout the day. Hope that clarifies.

The penetration is far better at Foxwoods and there are always some $15 tables to be found.
In case you do not know - the difference in expectation between 6 and 8 deck games is marginal -- penetration is most important.

As is the case with Surrender, the difference may be minimal for non-counters, but 6D shoes go positive significantly more frequently than 8D shoes. I don't have a reference handy, but I seem to recall about a 20% greater EV with 6D vs. 8D for counters.
