Illinois casino info

[Bacchante]

I'll be traveling through Illinois in September and am searching for some info on Illinois casinos. I'm an OPP counter (probably the simplest system) so I avoid casinos that continuously shuffle and 6/5 BJ games like the plague. I'm also a low bettor (prefer $5 minimum tho 10 is okay). 6/8 deck shoes are okay. So, my question is about all the above on the following casinos: Harrahs in Metropolis, Hollywood in Aurora, Pair-A-Dice in East Peoria, Empress and Harrahs in Joliet, Grand Victoria in Elgin, and Argosy in Alton. Any info is sincerely appreciated and thank you. (Btw, this is my first post and I think this site is wonderful)

I believe they're all shoes. I don't remember any $5 tables in Illinois, you have to go to Gary for that.
