Am in Florada, so spent a n evening on a floating casino out of Ponce Inlet (Daytona). $1O to board, but nice just for the boat ride. Lunch buffet $6, dinner $8 looked OK. Wed afternoon folks over 55 board free and get lunch for free (on ly afternoon cruise). Not like riverboats, they go offshore 3 1/2 miles to international waters. Mostly slots, but about 8 tab les: BJ, 3 card poker, car stud and a Poker room. BJ tables never full ... usually 2-
5 players. Played about 3 hrs, total time about 4

Game was $5-$3OO, 8 deck, split 3x, double any, DAS, S17 and had late surrender. Also $1O, $25 and $1OO tables ($25 & $100 closed for lack of players,. Tables never full .Dealers were nice, but one guy seemed inexperienced ... didn't pay a few times and some misdeals ...... usually settled by letting you opt out if you wanted.

Mixed group, tourists and locals, but probably the worst ploppys I ever saw. Lots of 10 splits even vs 10., surren der 12 v 7 etc. and lots of gut feeling plays like stand on 12 or 16 vs vs 10 or hit 17 vs 6. They weren't counters as far as I could tell.

Free drinks and waitresses pretty attentive. If you don't mind ploppys, it was a pretty fuin time even thougfh I was down .... or as I said bought $3O beers.

GeorgeD,

Not sure where you're located, but if you get down to FLL, I'd like a report on Sea Escape. Supposedly they have more tables, same rules, but only 6 decks. I'm gonna be in that area this summer.

been there. lots of six deck tables. $5, $10, $25 mins. s17daslsr .
problem is it costs almost $30 to board. you can get a couple of meals at no additional cost though.
oh yea penetration varies. mostly poor to fair.
anyone been to Sterling Cruise lines out of Cape Canaveral? they supposedly allow you to board for free. not sure what the games are like.
