Why complain about AC blackjack?

[zoomie]

I've seen a fair number of laments here about how poor AC is compared to, well, I don't know where. I don't really understand. According to the Wiz, HE for S17 6D AC rules is .40%, and 8D is but slightly higher, .43%. If you can play $50 units, some places will give you LS on 6D for .33%. The best 6D shoe game I have found in Vegas is .26%. So what is so bad about the AC games? We can easily overcome small edges like these. I grant that there are plenty of bad games in AC, but that is true in Vegas as well. My only problem with AC is not that there are no good games, but that there are not as many as Vegas, so you risk blowing your cover by visiting a store too often. Is that the real issue?

AC has literally the worst blackjack of any major destination. Is it the worst in the country? No, I've seen 8 deck H17 3 decks cut off. But the SCORES rarely crack 40, even for large spreads.

Contrast that with pitch games or back-counting S17 LS good pen shoes, and the SCORE may be twice as much.

It's just that no one should go out of their way for AC

namely surrender is one aspect, while the house edge is effected only a small amount off the top, the gain from counting when surrender is offered is very high.

shitty penetration is the other reason.

generally the games just art worth as much as other casinos toi counters.
