Would it be beneficial to West Virginia to deal the "best" 6-Deck game in the East at all tables. My point is will this be better for their bottom line than the standard minimum Indian 8D games considering increased daily table play. I think it would take a very good AP to regulary profit camping out.

I agree for the most part. A place like Wheeling could attract quite a bit of the surrounding rural areas and metro Pittsburgh.
For an AP who lived in Columbus, OH or even SE Ohio, wouldn't it seem better to just drive an extra hour to Cincinnati? Those boats offer "decent" games if Wheeling Island bombs with the rules.
good luck

Exactly. The gaming public doesn't know the difference between good rules and bad. Sure, bad rules will chase away the high rollers but those guys don't go to Wheeling anyway.
But, you never know. There are some good games in small, remote places.

from salamanca new york indian reservation and they are saying the rules will be close to tribal casinos but they did not elaborate . I agree with shad as well that I am sure they will not be inclined to offer advantageous games as there is limited competition around the area basically and what competition there is has better rules like the riverboats in Indiana near cinci and the tribal casinos in NY .
:grin:

:grin: :cool2:What are the rules there anyway? Never been. Can u spread? Any mid-shoe entry?
the rules are basic
dbl on any two cards , DAS, DS on soft 17 , split and double afterwards . Yes you can spread easily and heat is minimal as well . Mid shoe at almost all levels - however there is also no mid shoe at all levels if players request it . :grin: :cool2:

:grin: :cool2:They'll lose my business if the game is not at least as good as AC -- really it needs to be better for me to make the short drive versus fly to Vegas. That said, they'll do much better offering crap rules. Have you seen the full 6:5 tables in Vegas? Until people are educated, you might as well offer terrible games. If I opened a casino in WV, I'd offer CSM, H17, no DAS, no peek, and BJ pays 1:1 (suited pays 2:1). And the tables would be full of hillbillies. Maybe offer one high limit table with good rules and a $50 minimum.

I believe that would be slightly more generous than 6:5. 1.25 instead of 1.2 on blackjacks?

Whats the pene? zgdbl on any two cards , DAS, DS on soft 17 , split and double afterwards . Yes you can spread easily and heat is minimal as well . Mid shoe at almost all levels - however there is also no mid shoe at all levels if players request it .
the casino is going or supposed to be opened december 16th the last i heard !!!!
Keep us posted!
I've always wondered what would happen if I had a BJ game that close.
Will I be there every day or hardly ever lol?
3 hours to Salamanca , 2 and a half hours to detroit and 2 hours to montaineer . Guess they are just moving closer to us !!!!!
Speaking of Detroit the new MGM sucks. At least on a Thanksgiving Sat night. Unless you like lousy pay tables at 3-card poker, H17 BJ, I think, not sure, even at $50 tables, and $25 H17 Spanish 21.
And you'd be lucky to find a seat at a $25 table.
Pyhsically though it's nice - much like Vegas.
The real downside is I apparently like Johnny Walker Blue alot. I think $28 or $44 a shot not sure lol. I never knew Blue existed lol. Fortunately I passed on the $100 (maybe only 60-80 or so I can't remember, for obvious reasons) Kobe hamburger. Actually a wonderful restaurant, it began with a "B" lol.
For $100/person, I'd actually do it again. And I don't say that very often lol.
And so went our hard-earned winnings over 8 hours lol.
Oh yeah - paying for drinks seriously cuts into EV lol.
But for $4 they actually put real alcohol in it, unlike AC or Vegas lol.
I have heard a few people say MGM
blows dead bears in a blizzard in antartica. Seems to be the the buzz on it . I went to salamanca yesterday with our crew of old farts and I dropped $2,500.00 over 6 hours playing black so I guess that was not too bad . Salamanca has Kobe steak and hamburgers as well and i can not tell the difference between a McD's dbl cheeseburger - lol . Sandwiches and dinners was all comped and the tab for 8 was like $960.00 with tip so it was ok . At my advanced age and crap health I have a strong feeling that my trips are gonna be really limited as I am still recovering - lol !!!! :grin: :laugh: :cool2:
