At off peak times, most AC casinos will have some $5 tables (all 8D except for Borgata, which is 6D). On Saturdays (daytime), your best bets are: Wild Wild West (adjacent to Bally's), Bally's (upstairs room open only on weekends), and Sands (low limit room upstairs open on weekends). All of the above are 8D S17 DAS. If you go early enough, Borgata might have two $5 tables (6D S17 DAS) in the low limit pit (in front of Noodles of the World), but they will be mobbed and it will be tough to get a seat. In peak hours, these tables go to $10 or $15 and will remain mobbed.
A piece of advice: WONG IN. The AC casinos are big, and Saturday daytime would be an excellent time for wonging. If you're only wonging in on positive shoes, you won't have to limit yourself to the very few $5 tables that you'll find. If you were planning on spreading $5-$100, for example, you could instead wong in at TC+2 at $25 and spread 1:4 up to $100, and wong out at TC=0. This is a much more lucrative way to play. The only downside is that you have to stand a lot.

A personal opionion in relation to this thread and another.
Is it possible the reported losses are linked to a lack of proper and disiplined wonging out ? My buddy and I have said to each other time and again, it is no good to be a counter if the count is always (exagerating) negative. So you learn some low count indices... I dont think it is worth it, so now we scout for superb rules for our turf, superb pen, which btw the last joint we scoped out was great, and are looking for places we can wong as we please. With two of us in the small card rooms we use a sort of team approach, I sit down and he stands and watches counting, I flat bet till the shuffle and right after, then do my thing, if the count is up he sits and bets big, if not I play a few and move to a different table, he sticks around and sits at the original table when it doesn get high. I start counting the table I am at, He looses, and joins back up with me, if there is a stack of chips in my circle he sits and bets big, if not I stand, rinse, and repeat. This way we can use a team type stradedgy in a small club without looking like we are attached at the hip and both winning.
