I play at Wizard's in Burien. They let you double on any 2 cards and also double after splitting. And they also have a double-deck table but I don't think you can DAS there.

Default Casinos in Pierce County

The best one I've found is Chips in the Lakewood area. Double-deck, dealer hits soft 17, favorable player rules, suited blackjacks and 6,7,8 pays 2:1 (during "happy hours"; call to find out when these are. All BJ tables do this). Just playing basic strategy alone, the casino has only about a .1% edge! Table minimum is $15 though, which is too much for me personally. Two nights ago, I won $92.50 there at a $5 table just with basic. Check this place out! Also, $2 minimum blackjack all day every Tuesday.

Default Thanks for the post

I haven't really checked out Chip's Casino but I live in Puyallup so I think it might be worth the drive. I called them to ask what time is their happy hour and the guy said it is from 9am - noon and 9pm - midnight. He also confirmed about the suited blackjack and 6,7,8 paying 2:1. Do you happen to know their exact rules for the multideck games?

I usually play at the Grand Central Casino (aka Great American Casino) also in Lakewood. They have 6 deck game with DAS, H17, double on any 2 cards and they also allow you to re-split aces. They usually have about 85% penetration (less than a deck remaining when shuffled) which makes it slightly beatable with counting. They are very nice with comps also.

Default rules at Chips Casino...

Dealer hits soft 17, double on any two cards, and I'm about 90% sure that you're allowed to resplit aces (I have never had to do that before).

take em' down!

oh, does blackjack pay 3:2?

And, anyone know of any other casinos that have double deck or pitch?
