I found trackjack a real pain. I couldn't update stats for Ontario casinos. These programs should be user friendly but often are not. Keep trying and ask the programmer questions. I find it much easier to ask around and find out game conditions that way.

Yes! I think the competition will do us some good. Possibly six decks? Two?? I know there is supposed to be a permanent casino built on the Canuck side. The one that is there is not supposed to be permanent. I know the mechanical engineer that designed the HVAC system for the place. I will glady go to the US side to play with US chips. I enjoyed playing Hogansburg using both US and CAN chips for a wider spread. "Checks played" at $100US and CAN, so I could spread from $5CAN to $100US ($150CAN) if I wanted to. Easy shuffle to track I found. After I move I will get back into playing onLand again.

And maybe some more liberal comps as well. Niagara is the only casino I have been to that actually charges you for parking. Where is Hogansburg ?

Re: Niagara
Hogy is at the other end of Lake Ontario, across from Cornwall. Use your players card when at the table and when you check out they will cover your $10 parking fee for you. It to prevent people that use the parking garage from using it to go shopping instead of losing at the casino ;> Take a short trip up Lundy's Lane and you can park for $4 if you don't want to use your players card in the casino.

Hogy
Been a while since I was there. I could never double or split with US while playing with CAN chips, but could switch between CAN and US on the hands. ie count is +3TC I switched to US clay. Have you tried that yet?

Re: Hogy
Yes, that's exactly what I did. Since I could not double down US on CAN hand, the first thing running thru my mind is putting out US in the circle when the count went up. I don't know whether I can fool the pit, some PC are ok but got a slight heat from one lady PC (maybe I stayed a bit long, almost 3 hours that night), I stayed through the new shift and the new lady PC gave me some staring)

Re: Niagara
Casino Niagra is the single worst Casino I have ever experienced for comps. Also, $50 minimums on about half of the main-floor tables on weekends.
I'm a Clevelander too, BradRod. Have played mostly in Windsor. You get good food comps, free parking and automatic toll re-embursements at the kiosks for out of towners.
I won't be playing in Canada much in the future for several reasons, though. Exchange rates, keeping two small stakes instead of 1 larger one while knowing full well I'm understaked in both countries, more accessable U.S casinos, occasional border hassles (always coming back into my own country, never a problem getting in to Canada).
Have you discovered The Blue Chip Yet?(Indiana, 5.5 hour drive). I have only been there once. Six decks with one (or even slightly less) cut off. Same rules as Detroit, but better penetration. Always 5 dollar tables. Even on weekends. Tables a bit less crowded than anywhere in the Detroit/Windsor market. Many nice, probably inexpensive motels nearby, too. (I paid under 40 bucks on Saturday night at the Super 8).
My personal plan is to make fewer, full-weekend trips to Indiana instead of day trips to Windsor. But, I am currently in re-evaluation mode and won't be playing anywhere for awhile.
