Upper Peninsula of Michigan games

According to CBJN, there is a reasonably high density of desirable games on the UP of Michigan. That's a reasonably easy trip for me so I'm considering a raid. Anybody ever play there? Are they tolerant?
 
No... I mean around the Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie area. Also a few in the northern part of mainland Michigan, right under the UP. I counted 5-6 places I could drive to in a long weekend.

Looks like they have some 4/1 shoe games with very desirable rules. Although it looks like most of them are run by the same people, so if I get booted from one, I'll be booted from them all. Just wondering how the heat is up there.

No but...

... if you happen trek out that way, please fill us in. I have been meaning to hit that market myself. As you say, CBJN reports unusually good games for the midwest, but they have report dates that are 5 months to a year(or more) old as of the April issue. I wonder to what extent they are still available?

thanks,

"Looks like they have some 4/1 shoe games with very desirable rules."

I'm not sure what a 4/1 shoe game is but I was just up there last week. I went to two casinos in the UP (Sault & Ignace) and they did have a good 6 deck shoe with very favorable rules. (S17 DA2 DAS DSA LS house edge 0.223%) and also a hand dealt double deck with lesser rules (S17 D10&11, LS).

Also stopped at Turtle Creek and they no longer have double deck and do not offer LS on the 6 deck game any longer.

Best dealer line of the weekend on double deck: "Now don't you guys take too many hits or I'll run out of cards!"

It was a good weekend!

Forget about it!

Mr. pill and wife burnt them all out!

They would be intolerant of anyone who refers to a "trip" as a "raid". The last players that tried that ended up in bad shape.
