Tunica BJ Conditions

[jimpenn]

I have never played in Tunica and today received a 3 night comp trip from Harrah's Grand and Horseshoe Casino. In the past I have often received comp packages from Harrah's but considering their BJ conditions are normally poor I have never taken one. There are no playing requirements with this trip and was interested in AP's comments on best casino playing conditions available. In short, what casino(s) offer best player conditions/rules. Are all casinos centrally located? Is 6D games the norm? Trip is from Monday through Thursday (Sept 1-4) and only accepted because I don't play on weekends. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, jp

Hey Jim,
I'll be at Tunica this sun. thru tues. I do not know bj but thinking about learning it. I will let you know conditions first hand, but--looking foward to anyones input before i go. I am studying BS and will just use that if i play on this trip.

DD games much better than anything in my area! $5 DA2 DAS H17 60%
$5-40 no heat

Fitz, Gold Strike, Hollywood my favorites - watch heat at Fitz

Sheraton has 6/5 and some CSMs

Resorts has some crappy rule where you can only bet like $20 if you enter mid-shoe - shame on me for trying to wong in!

Horseshoe changed from 6D to 8D about a year ago..

Lots of "Lucky Ladies" tables..

At the Grand hotels (now Harrahs), be prepared to walk about 2 miles every time you park and go to your room (unless you want to wait for the valet)...

From a recent copy of CBJN...
Conditions in Tunica are virtually all H17,
while Biloxi is mostly S17. Doesn't matter
how many decks.

Which probably means, split three times to total of 4 hands.

Just back from Tunica on a Thursday night...not many tables open at Hollywood or Fitz, no shoe games going. It was all DD pitch with slightly more than 50%pen. My first losing trip in 4 years!
