Summer trip with approx 200 hrs of play and a 200 unit win for each of us. Best game found was in Mesquite with DAS for single deck and friendly dealers and pit. Backed off at the Suncoast while losing--no discussion, just picked up remaining chips and left the table. Good games in Reno for single deck. Favorite place in Laughlin is the Riverside but only has DD on 10 & 11 but friendly place with virtually no heat. Playing partner advised in Binion's by the dealer that she was not allowed to spread to 5 X her min bet--she didn't argue--just left the table--this was very surprising to me for this venue. I got a really 'evil eye' from the female pit boss in the Golden Gate on one occasion, so avoided her from then on. We each won a Great Moments Restaurant scratch ticket from the LV Club's summer promo and so we scooped a $150 dinner including cocktails, appies, filet mignon & lobster tail entree, their world famous salad (yes, it was absolutely delicious) and dessert which all ended up costing us the tip of $20--all this for the dealer getting a suited BJ on a $10 hand. Found some 2D games at Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, OR. Another place was a 'new' casino just south of Carson City called Fandango with friendly pit staff and 2D games. Witnessed the backoff of a gentleman playing green chips at Boomtown in Reno. All in all--a good time and more learning experiences...happy trails and cards to all!!!!!!

Nice report. Congrats on getting the hours in; sounds like you travelled abit from Vegas to Reno to Oregon. In my early days I used to take 2-3 week trips and just burn out an area (all shifts) playing 8-9 hrs/day at hand helds.
Now I just show up for the weekend; blend in with the action and bang away.
Good luck and thanks for the report!

One chip per hour 100 hands per hour = 1% edge. Nice work! Glad you didn't get into any Missouri boats rides! grin

Re: Bang On
Hi Rob...I'd like to think that we didn't quite average 100 hands/hour which would then up the % to say 1.5 but I have no way of really knowing for sure. Anyways, her win was mostly lucky cards while mine was all skill--can't let her see this post though...grin. As far as Missouri goes, I've never been there, but I'll take your word for it.
