It's better be late than never. The two-deck-blackjack-games finally arrive in an AC casino after 32 years. What takes AC so long to get the ball rolling? Competitions in Tristate areas? Late-management's wisdom??? Click on the link to read all about the new game in town.
When I was there early today there was only 1 table open. $100 minimum. There was suppossed to be a second table at $25 limit but the Shuffler was mysteriously broken.
Is the DD game face up or down? And how many spots on the tables?
rule?
pene?

Skep, I agree with you about this casino's foreseeable bankruptcy. Here are signs of a casino's financial difficulty:
1) Forcing some dealers to work a few days per month!
This tactic is worst than laying off, i.e., no full unemployment benefits for those unlucky dealers!
2) Not paying food vendors' bills---as a result: a chef complained: "how the hell am I going to run this joint without sufficient shrimps, meats, noodles, veggies, breads, etc... Also, machines are broken for months without repairs..."
3) Laying off pitbosses who had worked there over 20 years!
4) Closing its fancy Chairman Club & cutting out comps! Highrollers/Players have abandoned this casino like rats in sinking Titanic!
5~10) More, but you get the idea, right?
Thank you but it does not answer the one question:
How many betting spots are on the tables?

You need to be there with good timing. Otherwise, you will not be able to read the juicy/sensitive info that are edited out. Most posters there are great guys except for a few cry-babies who always yell: "bust those posts!" Good Luck.

See BJA3, p. 250, using the appropriate column (H17, DAS) and row(s).
Also see BJA3, p. 263, Tables 10.94 and 10.95, for detailed charts.
Prediction: Game won't last, it will be watched ridiculously closely, all counters who play will get thrown out, or ... all of the above. :-(

Well they can't be thrown out, Don as I know you are well aware. But, surely would be flat betted instantly. They are quick to do so with the 6 and 8 deck games, I can only imagine their quick responses on this game. ?? For many of us, who have played AC regularly over the past few years, the Boardwalk only runs south as far as trop and then stops. lol

Mr. Don, thanks for your reply and tips. Please do me and guys-on-the-roads a big favor. Please calculate the SCOREs for us. I & some guys don't have your BJA3. BTW, it was a great get-together at ##### casino for the launching of your BJA3-campain. Lots of APs got backoff from various AC casinos, but not many APs got screwed from ##### casino. Hmmm... I think ##### casino's management gets a great wisdom just like Zman.
I didn't mean to say flat bet in my last post. But will limit your spread $5-$50. Even if its a $25 or $100 table, they will imposed these "special limits" just for you. In case you are a red chipper, who wouldn't mind a 1-10 spread, that will quickly be followed by early shuffling up.
Speaking of which, I understand a casino has a right to protect them self, if they see fit. This included barring, backoff, bet restriction, reducing the shuffle point, prior to the start play, but I have never understood how deciding to shuffle part way through a shoe or game when the count goes positive is legal. This is the one technique that is clearly altering the outcome of play, which is suppossed to be against the rules. Any legal minds want to attempt to explain it to me.
Legal minds? The good lawyers from AC are dead or in jail. I kid you not.
1) Ex-Counselor Arelia sued AC casinos and failed. She's in jail for 7 years. Go figure.
2) Counselor "Steve What's-His-Name" shot himself dead in a GSP's rest area after he had lost tons of money @ ###### casino.
3) Another Counselor lost his money and head---walked in front of a you-know-what. Well, he's a smart one. His killing-one-self-by-accident is an alternative way to enable his loved-ones to collect on his life insurance proceeds. Jumping off Trop's parking deck or shooting your brain out... get no insurance money for beneficiaries!!!
Only amateurs play one and two deck games. Guess why.
That is a foolish statement. Maybe you haven't recovered from your new years party.
So tell us why " only amateurs play one and two deck games"
Many policies have a two year no contest clause.
