Midnight Gambler

Has anyone been to this place? If so is it any good? How many tables do they have and what sort of rules/betting ranges?

Thanks for any feedback in advance!

Off-shore casino boats are rare to ever offer good conditions. I believe that this bucket is no exception. What is far more important is that they do NOT operate under the auspices of any regulating body, such as a Casino Control Commission. You absolutely have NO recourse whatsoever if you are cheated.

The last time I did something like this was around Labor Day when I played (for minimal stakes) on a boat out of Gloucester, Mass. While I won at a spectacular rate, overall it was nearly a waste of time. I had to wait for over an hour for the boat to leave (after paying admission). The trip to "International waters" took easily as long as the speed limit in the harbor was a glacial walking pace.The tables shut down and the long slow journey to shore seemed endless as well. I think that I spent LESS than 3 hrs. playing 8 deck BJ elbow-to-elbow with cigarette-smoking lushes (alcohol was exhorbitantly priced) and I spent longer than that staring at the brakish water below. So, I spent the whole evening in return for perhaps 3 hrs. playing a poor game for 2 3/4 hrs.

A fellow that I met was on a boat (that I think that I recall was the "Midnight Gambler"). It was his birthday and he was whooping it up. He had bet $25 a roll on his age at roulette- 36 - and when the number actually came up - he was REFUSED the payoff of $900. He was told that the croupier had no right to accept his wagers above $10 on inside numbers. The kicker was that he was not paid on the lesser table limit wager - (presumably $360) - He was told that the bet was null and void. He was returned his lone green chip! Not a damn thing that he could do about it.

Thanks for the insights Flash. Based on your experience I think I'll skip the boats, and stay with good ol' AC. :)
