You need 80% pen to make it half way decent

Soboba now has very good DD (h17, D10/11 - $10to$200). Not great rules but penetration from 65% to 80%. I have played $10-$75 with no heat.
Their 6 D game has better rules and the cut card at 1 3/4 deck to 3/4 deck.
They do have a $5 6D game. It's supposed to be 24 hr but sometimes the $5 is not available.
Penetration on all games varies by dealer.
At the double deck you can sometimes effect the cut placement by where you cut the cards.
$10 action will bet you a $10 lunch comp for about 8 hours of play - all computerized but friendly players can run a negative comp balance.
Glad to join the forum, Bruisedlee
The DD game at Soboba, since they went to H-17, has the (tied) worst rules in all California casinos, with D10,11, and NDAS. For me, to make this game marginal or slightly better, you get 80% pen or forget it. The 6D game, is a better game, especially if you get a dealer who cuts a deck or slightly more.
The $10 lunch comp is also questionable since I found their food choices all uneatable.
I used to go to Soboba when the rule for the DD and 6D was S-17, but after calling nearly two years ago, being told that there were no changes to their blackjack, traveling 3 hours to get there, making motel reservations and to find out that there was a major change to their blackjack (h-17), I have had no thought of returning.
Better games closer to Palm Springs.
