Best Ontario casino's?

[thedon]

Hello all.

I'm looking for a description of the games for casinos in Ontario. I will provide for Fallsview Casino and Casino Niagara.

Neither of these offer outstanding games, 8D DAS S17 no surrender with about 70% pen give or take 5%.

Casino niagara only has one shoe game on the floor, and the rest are CSM. During the day, table min is usually $15, then goes to $25 in the evening.
The back room is $50min, 6D with same rules as 8D, adding no mid-shoe entry to this game

Fallsview casino has about 7-8 games on the floor that don't use CSM. All 8D games, same rules as above. Only about 2 of these tables are usually $15 min during the day, (and usually stay that way in the evening), the rest are $25 min, and there is one table at $50 min.

The back room is $100 min, 6D, no mid-shoe entry, same rules as above

Anyways,
Please post information about any casino's you are familiar with in Ontario,
Are there any with 6D games on the floor?

Mostly, could I get an update on Casino Rama? Anyone been there lately?

8deck, DOA, DAS, S17 75% pen on the floor. 6 deck with same rules and $100 minimum NMSE in the VIP. Half hand shuffled half ASM on the floor. Hand shuffled in the VIP. You might find a $5 table in the morning on a weekday but your best bet counting is to backcount $25 tables. Ive seen a few 6 deck games at the OLG casinos, but they are always $25min, $100 max and few/no comps. Best game in the broader area is Senecca Casino in Niagara Falls NY due to faster dealers, slightly better pen, and higher table max.

Caesars Windsor: You can usually find empty $10 tables on weekday mornings until about 11am. If you are lucky, you might even find a $5 early on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning. After that, they tend to go to $15 and $25 and stay there for the rest of the night. The $15 tables get crowded after 5pm. Avoid nights with big concerts.

On the regular gaming floor they deal 8 decks, S17, DAS, split to 4 hands, double any number, dealer peeks, no surrender - typical Ontario rules (except the CNE). The only exception is the Winners Option tables, where they only let you split aces once.

Penetration varies by the dealer, usually 70-80%. There are no CSMs. All tables on the floor use ASMs. The VIP uses 6 decks, same rules, minimum seems to be $50 and $100, but I haven't been there in a while. They used to have great $25 tables in VIP but those left when Caesars took over.

By far, I prefer Caesars Windsor over any other casino in Ontario. The charity casinos don't let you bet more than $100 and have terrible comps (if any). Rama, Fallsview and Niagara are too crowded and have CSMs on some/most tables.

I was at Brantford casino Wed evening. They had two $5 tables ASM. 6 deck S17 DAS . One $10 table hand shuffle

Suppose you had a 3.5hour drive to windsor, or a 2hour drive to rama, should the player choose rama?

If you're in Windsor you've got 3 casinos on the Detroit side. If you like to scout out a lot of tables then this might be worthwhile. If not I don't think the RSA rule is worth the trip, play with the shortest drive possible. Some bus tour companies offer $10 casino rides or even free.

All the Brantford games are 8 deck. Confirmed that today with a pit critter.

Went to Fallsview last Fri. night.

Ontario is ridiculous now. ALL CSM's except for one 8D $50-$1000 table.

Oh well, I just sat there backcounting and would throw a bet down near the end of the shoe if it was a good count. Always fun pissing off the ploppies with putting a bet out after not betting any part of a shoe previously.

And it was entertaining watch some guy blow through $10K in under 25mins.

do you know about the current rule in the V.I.P.?
