Looks like a nice mix of games.

What amazes me is the amount of full-time jobs they propose for staffing the table games. Hope it's true for obvious reasons.

good luck :joker:

That is a lot of BJ tables! High percentage of table games are BJ, which I initially thought encouraging. Have just read on the other board that Pa intends to have "double shoe" BJ dealing from 2, 8 deck shoes alternating shoes depending on the color of last card dealt. This devolpement seems very discouraging and hopefully will not happen.

Why is PA choosing this situation in which to be "innovative" :flame:

Uggh.
