Small update on Delaware Park. Most Dealers are very slow and not very accurate. The limits on the two actual shoe games on the second level were changed to a max of $100. Not sure about the CSMs because I don't look at the CSMs.

$100 max? Do you mean $100 minimum bet?

Nope $100 max - $10 and $15 Min. This is for the shoe games on the main floor, not the high limit area.
ha! Try spreading 1 to 10 on the $15 min table. :laugh: Maybe early in the wee hours of the am when the tables are not full you can jump to two hands when you want.

Weird I thought all of their games that weren't CSMs were $50 and up for the minimums. Are the rules still the same as the higher limit tables?

Wow, they really must hate making money.
I wonder who is running Del Park? They seem to have a real phobia about being ripped off. I mean, CSMs more than anyone else, and $100 max tables. What next? 6 to 5 Blackjack? NDAS? 50% pen? Heard one good thing about their BJ, but I'm afraid to mention it in public. They are sure to change it.

The funny thing about it is that this was a recent change just like switching the craps odds from 10x to 5x within a week. The limit signs on the table are were the originals that show $10 -$1000, but they have a post-it note covering the $1000 with $100.

Possibly the DE casinos will always be packed on weekends and evenings, maybe the high limit games will have seats. They are fairly isolated in large population centers.:joker::whip:

I've been lurking here, but I just registered so I can post.

I live in DE and go to DE Park and Dover Downs. Both places are grossly understaffed and can't keep up with the demand. I went on a Saturday night two weeks ago and they have about 6-7 tables going for BJ total (including HL) and about 8-9 not going at all.

Most of the games are CSM games, but upstairs there was two $10 min tables running six deck shoes dealer shuffled. The clientele here looks clueless and just wants to play anything they can. I waited over two hours to get on one of the six deck shoe games and no one got up so I just left.

I've been a total of three times. I won $300, lost $400 and then yesterday I won $1,000. I play BS and tend to bet two hands between $25-50.

Thats it for now.

Were the $10 six deck shoe dealer shuffled games at Delaware Park or Dover Downs?

Those games were on the second floor of Delaware Park by the escalators. They were also S17 with 10 min and 100 max.

I was there today. Upstairs they had a number of $25 hand shuffled games, S17 LS DAS 8-deck. Won $200. Also, made $30 free slot play good through VP Deuces Wild.

Went to Dover Downs, played 6-deck $25, S17 DAS NS. Lost $50. Made a $2,000 swing on one one long plus count, but unfortunately, that only got me back to -$50. Won $60 on advan. slot play.

The small pit upstairs to the left off the escalators is gone, which is strange because only a few weeks ago they added a craps table to the pit. Now it is a mostly open space with a car parked there and roped off. I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 SP21 tables added to the main floor.

They parked a car upstairs at Delaware Park? That building is so old and decrepit that I would be afraid to walk near it or under it. The "beautiful" entrance on the North side, that goes under the train tracks, gives you an idea of the wonderful condition that building is in.

When they condemned the walkway over the rr tracks, they should have condemned the whole place. God forbid they should ever have a fire. No one on that 3rd floor would get out alive. I hate to see how unsafe it is on the 4th floor because I saw no means of egress other than one escalator.:eek: On top of that the outdoor seating above the 3rd floor was some old wooden benches that had been condemned!:eek::eek:

I'm glad to hear that Aslan reported more hand shuffled games there. Is the pene still decent? Are they open more than just one shift per day now?

They do not open upstairs until about 2:30 pm. I mainly went to find some slots, but they had removed them from the building. I played one shoe, won $200 and figured the variance gods were good to me. The pen as I recall was a deck and a half or more; I never had to use the LS.

I left to play the 6-deckers at Dover Downs (no LS) and played 4 hours to break even. The pen was a deck and a half or more there as well. :eek: The Park had the better game IMO. Both were $25 games, although up until 3 pm, Dover Downs had several $15 tables on Saturday. I think they have $10 games early during the week; I don't know if and when they kick them up.

They upped the min on the hand shuffle game to $25? It used to be $5 min (counter-intuitive) and the csm's ranged from $5-25 min with all csm's downstairs at $25.

Glad to hear you had some + variance.

I saw nothing lower than $25. That is not to say that some days, or hours, they don't have lower min games. It had been a long time since I was there last. At that time they had only two hand shuffle games, and those were not opened every day. That's why I quit going there. Considering the LS feature and assuming not too hateful pen, I like these 8-deck games better than the 6-deck games at Dover.
