If you are talking about the BJ tournaments with a small entry fee (usually around $25 ), they can be a lot of fun.

Worth it? I think it is, you will probably have $25 worth of fun and may even win something.
As for money, here you have a chance to turn $25 into $500 or $600. That is what they usually pay, around here at least.

I won eight of them last year and placed in several more. You do need to have a tournament game and a table game though. In a tournament you must be ready to do things that you would never do, in the regular game.

Midnight gambler's right. Low end tournaments ARE fun! $25 entry fee with a $25 buy-in gives you a better shot at picking up $2500 than buying in at a nickle table with $50. Resorts in AC has a bj tourney every month, no entry fee, no buy-in. Last I heard it paid $10,000 for top prize. Whole different style of play though. More betting strategy than anything else. Stanford Wong has a book "Casino Tournament Strategy" It confused the hell outta me first time I read it, but it eventually made sense.

i get in the AC Resortw Tourney?

a players card to get into the tourney? What time does it start? What time does registration begin?
Thanks

Give em a call, they'll tell you everything you need to know. The operator has that info. 1-800-336-6378

If I'm not mistaken you have to be a platinum Resorts card holder and
even then you must be invited. There is no open tournament to the general public as far as I know. ymmv

I called several times, each time I asked if this tourney was invitation only. They assured me it was not. No restrictions other than be there early to register. They don't seem to have a tournament director who can answer specific questions.
