Where do u mostly play? I usually stay at Borgata, but also play at Taj and Marina, less often at Ballys, Harrahs.kewljason said:I am heading to Ac in a couple hours. probably won't check out the hilton til 7 or 8 am, when it might be a little slower. just wanted to know the rules, penetration and what ever else you may offer before hand.
This is a quick 2decker-report in addition to Jason's.kewljason said:Spent about 12 hours in AC today from 3am til mid afternoon. I did make a trip to the southern boardwalk to check out the DD game this morning after sunrise. There was only 1 table open. $100 minimum. There is a second table that was not open that rumor has it was a $25 table, but the shuffler is mysteriously broken on the first day of this new game.
No one was playing the $100 table. Just 3 pit guys standing and waiting. Just didn't look inviting to me so I headed to the northern end of boardwalk for breakfast and then out to the marina districk for the rest of the day. Was not nearly as crowded as I thought it would be for a holiday weekend, and turned into a pretty decent day for me.
I extended my east coast holiday trip 6 days just to check out this game, which I didn't really get a chance to do. I will probably make another day trip down there monday before I head west for the winter, but am not optimistic about this game.
Look at it this way. What is motivating this foray into the once taboo double deck game in AC? Could it have something to do with the emergence of blackjack in nearby states, PA, DE, and WV. I understand that Charlestown, WV, one hour out of Washington, DC, will have a double deck game. AC is three hours away. DC is a major market for Atlantic City. Bring on the competition!kewljason said:Spent about 12 hours in AC today from 3am til mid afternoon. I did make a trip to the southern boardwalk to check out the DD game this morning after sunrise.

I have, but even they went back to hand.21forme said:
Why pay royalties, when you can hand shuffle nearly as fast? One house told me that they make out better with the hand shuffle. Some houses have both, maybe because they appeal to different players. Personally I like the inconsistency of the hand shuffle over the rigorous shuffle of the machine. But maybe that's all in my head--I never did a study.creeping panther said:
At one of my prime casinos they were having a speed shuffle contest one night on a 6d. The winner did the 1 pass shuffle in 36 seconds, ave was 48.aslan said:
