Low cost BJ

[BSONBJ]

This is my first thread: I have played BJ at several Casinos in LA and MS. I am quite familiar with the BS and have used it my play. I am also familiar with counting stategies but am not very proficient and have not tried using in a casino. Since I usually play at tables with a 6 deck shoe I think that the KO count works best.

My last couple of trips have been to Tunica. I found a "legitimate" BJ game at Fitzgerald's (3:2/DD any2/Split any 2pr and not dealt out of a machine) with a minimum bet of $3.00 on slow days. Only negative I found is dealer hits soft 17. Since I'm still early in my BJ career and have limited resources; I am always looking for a low cost game. I've heard Vegas has $1.00 & $2.00 tables. Does anyone know about the Gulfcoast?

BSONBJ....I don't know about Gulfcoast but didn't want you to think you were being ignored. Hmmm....Fitzgerald's?? In Tunica? I know the Fitzgerald's on Fremont pretty much sucks for DD.

Where are you located? PM me if you'd rather not say on the forum.

I have some friends who live in or around Houston and drive over to LA to play. My brother goes down to Bosier City quite often but he doesn't play at the tables....just gets drunk and plugs slots

I thought you might live a bit closer to Kansas. Be kinda fun to make a run up to Kansas City.

I've been to the casinos in Lake Charles (Isle of Capri, Harrah's, La berg something) I've only played in Isle of Capri. We may try Coushatta in Kenner LA. but I haven't been there during off hours to take advantage of any reduction in minimum bets.

What's in Kansas?

What's in Kansas?

A lot of wheat fields and cattle farms! Not much else besides wind and heat.

Casino-wise: There are 4 casinos in Kansas and all are Tribal. One is operated by Harrah'$ just north of Topeka. There is a Bingo Hall that I believe has removed the craps tables and probably the BJ tables as well up in White Cloud. Then there are two located around Holton or Horton (I get those two confused) up north of Topeka that have some pretty good BJ games.

Up in Kansas City, Missouri, there are 4 I believe. AmeriStar (9th largest in the world), Isle of Debris (I mean, Isle of Capri), Argosy and Harrah'$. Argosy and AmeriStar are the only two that I play at.

They do make you ante. State Law requires it. The ante is all the casinos are legally allowed to take as profit from Blackjack. Any table wins from the game (excluding the ante) are split 20% to the State and supposedly 80% back to the players. Of course the "State" gets tax on all of it!

Is it the same stuff as California no bust rules?
