Minnesota prior lake report

played there a few weeks ago.

in the main pit, there were two dd tables at $25-199 or maybe one was $15-199. Something about surviellance and the gaming commission for the "$199 max". Main pit rules- H17, no DAS, no RSA, no surrender. Penetration about 70-80%. No heat or indication pit was paying attention or concerned about my no cover $25-190 spread. (I figured it would save time in the dealer payout to bet $190 rather than $199 and avoid hearing the dealer call table max).

High limit pit- an empty $100-1000 and $50-1000 dd table with same rules as main pit except surrender allowed. Penetration not quite as good- about 60-70% but I wanted to get more out than $190 plus the surrender on a dd is a nice bonus.

I played the $50-1000 table, and a young pit boss was watching like a hawk. I even tried betting $100 or $200 off the top for cover. First time I whipped out 2 X $400, pit boss is on the phone. I even left out a $400 bet after the shuffle as cover. to no avail. in less than an hour, old guy in suit flat bets me.

If you are looking for longevity and can potentially play here on a regular basis- stick to the $199 max bet. No great loss to me- it is too far to drive, not worth an air fare, and not a locale I visit often for my job. still, a frustration to get busted so quick when i probably would have had no problem at the lower limits.

A DD game with H17 and NDAS is not a good game.

With that said, the deep penetration makes the game good � as long as you can spread at least 6 to 1, and preferably 8 to 1.

I do not see that game listed in CBJN. I'm in the process of putting a Northern Midwest trip together for later in the Summer. I'm going to be relying on CBJN.

Please email any good stuff :>))

I've played this game several time and also have been flat bet numerous times. I say numerous times because i ofter go back after 30 days and get a good 2 hours of play on the regular pit, DD game before they come down and remind me they don't appreciate my biz.

This game is good; however, they don't tolerate counters thus the quick flat bet. They hawk the games in high stakes, with surrender, even harder.

If your coming the MN and the MPLS area, there are some good games. Grand Casino has two location; Mille Lacs and Hinckley. Both about 1 hr away from the city. Both have DD games 25 - 500 or 50 - 1000! Good rules: DAS, RSA, H17. Penetration is bad; 55% I've been flat bet at one location but not the other (only been the other location 1 time so far...prob only a matter of time).

There are other casinos in the area as well with decent games. Good luck.

but look on their website. it says the rules they offer for bj on there.
