Furthermore, I read the online literature about the exact system they have, they have a card tracking system available in addition to their bet tracking system, which according to the company's website has features I definitely didn't see at Grand Casino tables. Hinckley is one of the least playable casinos in MN so it's a moot point anyway.

Canterbury doesn't care as much if you count because it isn't their money you're winning, BJ in MN horsetracks is class II, Indian casinos are class III so you really are winning their money.

You're right, Black bear isn't worth a special trip for, to be sure. But 5/6 decks with the standard rules in MN isn't garbage either. It wasn't overly crowded when I went, so you may have a point with that.

Don't get me wrong toastblows, I'm not calling you an idiot or anything, I am just saying it is easy to get details mixed up, especially if they're not fresh in your memory.

Nah I didnt think you implied I was an idiot I was surprised how much has changed in the last 3-6 months at casinos around here. My original post was information that was 3-6 months old until i did some rounds in october. Very interesting what is happening to my favorites.

That is interesting....the RFID thing. I swore there was a way they were tracking cards....but meh, like you said, that place sucks overall so its not bumming me out one bit.

And yes.....the corporate owned tracks are definately...or were....definately some of the best IMO....now that the 2D is gone at C, I'm not calling it my favorite anymore.
