Default Single Deck Update

Last year the only SD (obviously excluding 6-5) was at:
El Cortez-4 tables
Western-2 tables
4 Queens-2 tables ($10 minimum)

Any changes?

Single deck is starting to make a little bit of a comeback. Flash is correct Binions also has two tables and there is also the Vegas Club. If you are heading out to the Hoover Dam the Hacienda now has a single deck game as well.

IF I managed a casino I would put in Single Deck BJ Tables with H17, NDAS, rule of 6, 3:2 BJ premiums, and $10 minimums and $200 maximums.

If that cannot bring players back, what will ?

The economic meltdown, the so-called experts generally believe will last for several years.

What choice do the casino's have? Sit back and snidely continue to degrade their games, or make a change for the good ?

Under current economic conditions, casinos could change the payouts tp 2-1 for BJ and they still won't attract the crowds they were getting back when people had jobs, went to Vegas for trade shows,ect, ect.

Seriously, how many tourist do you think decided to not go to Vegas because casinos switched to hitting soft 17?
When the economy improves and people aren't afraid to spend money, the shitty BJ tables will be just as filled as they were three years ago.

Good points. Not even 1% of the players know H17 is worse.

I imagine that upwards of 5% know that H17 is disadvantageous, but far far less than 1% know the extent to which they are being victimized !

Here's a brain tweaker. How about SD, S17, DOA, LS, Ro8, 7:5 BJ? Looks like it could still ripoff the ploppies while making it profitable to competent CC's.
