Foxwoods back to 3:2

Around the time MGM Springfield came out and after Mohegan introduced 6:5, Foxwoods went almost entirely 3:2 out on the floor. Except for some $50 in Grand Cedar.

I was there past Friday and EVERY table is back to 3:2, soft 17, 8 decks. It's not great rules. But a heck of a lot better and it was only $10 min too!

I wonder why the change?

I couldn't tell you if it changed. I wonged out before we got to a shuffle. However, Foxwoods a was about 1 to 1.5 decks off for 8 decks. Mohegan has always been terrible, at least 2 decks. Even after they went from 6 to 8 decks.

Clearly because the 6:5 games didn't generate the same handle/revenue as the 3:2 games. Maybe the Foxwoods bettors actually have brains!

True. It certainly had me playing again! I never touched the 6:5 tables.

Confirming SplittingFives, 1-1.5 decks at FW, 2+ at Mohegan. FW has a good SP21 game as well, still.

It didn't last long. I just counted 45 tables at Foxwoods that have been changed back to 6:5. The Pequot Casino is still 3:2, the other three are mostly 6:5.

you'd think they'd have to give them more time than that to adjust. I only got to play once :-(

Morons should have done some heavy advertising announcing the return of all 3:2 games. But they're just too stupid. Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to ever become a casino manager without first undergoing a lobotomy. Dumbest class of sub-human beings on the face of the earth. All with IQs of an earthworm. And that's being a little harsh on the earthworms!

That's what happens when tribal members get preference. The ones that manage to stay out of jail end up in management. This casino has been poorly managed from the get go and no improvement is in sight.

For the past year they have been backing off red chippers from those 8 deck H17 games. Any other business managed by these people would have hit the skids long ago.

At the Wynn, the most popular roulette table is the new super snazzy triple 000 wheel.

The more numbers, the better. More choices, more chances to win. Right? :)

It's similar to getting multiple odds in craps...
... Wynn is the first to offer three times odds at roulette!

Some of the top casinos like Caesars and foxwoods and now Wynn, are slowly turning into the Griswold Vegas Vacation casino.

One of my favorite games, is double deck full pay freebet ... It is already a heavily disadvantage game with correct BS it still weighs more than 1% ... But I have determined that the pot of gold sucker bet has promise.

Well you know what, that variation is mostly being bastardized now and mostly offered only on 6/5 single deck:
"wow, lookie here, it's single-deck blackjack with free DoubleDown bets! That's what I'm talking about!"
