Default Laughlin Conditions

on 4/3-4/5

Yuch!

Contrary to published reports, River Palms has no single deck.

The only semi-decent games I could find are:

River Palms DD (H17, das, $5 - 500) but penetration varies greatly and the DD game was only open about 12 hours per day & the pit is closed completely on graveyard.

Aquarious - DD the same but no das.

I got 15 minutes of a good single deck at Golden Nugget but any more than 3 players is a disaster - very strict RO6.

The Pioneer DD was barely playable but not good.

These are the only games I checked out.

Does anyone have any better reports?

I'll be there the end of the month, but it's bike week so I'm not sure how much playing I'll get in.

Riverside deals mainly single deck games, restrictive Reno rules, but not unplayable. Trop Xpress is pitching doubledeck, and there's a few different games at Edgewater.

And as usual, penetration is the most important thing. And I can't remember any specific.

we can use a counter measure to this travesty:
DAS - Double All Spreads

My counter measure is codenamed WALK ACROSS THE STREET. It's pretty damn effective. I'm not sure the casinos are on to this particular move yet.

Oh, they're versed. And they love it when people like you leave them alone.

Lol. I love it when counters get pissed off at a casino and decide not to play there. If I really hated a casino, I'd play there MORE...

Default Update on Laughlin

Hey everybody I just noticed this update on another blog for the better casinos in Laughlin. Thought it might be useful to anybody heading out this summer. I will probably make it out there and double check the info.

Brilliant. "Screw you and your shitty games, Mr Casino Exec. The worse you make your games, the more I'm going to play them." Simply brilliant.
