Question about Atlantic City

[rogue1]

We're going to be there in a couple of weeks-is it impossible to find a $5.00 table on the week-end? Is it possible to find one on a weekday?
Thanks.

Borgata has at least one $5 table open at all times,two on weekends. But getting a seat is another story.I've been told that they sometimes open $5
tables in the poker room at Ballys,but I've never seen one.
Other than that,you can occasionally find $5 Spanish21,6-5 single deck,or Superfun21 at the Taj on off-hours-say 6AM on a Tuesday.
Everything but the Borgata is 8 decks and some houses are now hitting on soft 17s.
Its pretty freakin dismal.

Update for shadroch - Resorts now has a few 6 deck tables (S17, etc.) with $25 mins.

As does Trump Plaza. As does Hilton. As does Taj Mahal.

Thanks,its been awhile since I've looked around down there.I'm still in mourning over The Sands closing.

Which casinos are now hitting S17?
Let me quess....Harrahs properties?

Was Harrah's recently bought out by a group of private investors? I was wondering if that is what I read somewhere.

Or maybe still pending?

Just wondering if all these Harrah's changes are part of new ownership or old ownership.

old ownership, the private equity guys haven't really had a chance to change anything yet.

Thx - maybe there's hope yet lol.

But ur saying the deal has been completed, right?

[shadroch]

The deal is pretty much done,but its not sealed yet.I wouldn't look for any improvements.I'm imagining these guys bought Harrahs more for the worth of the real estate than the games.What is possible is that they may sell a few of the properties(Caesars?) to knock down the insane nut they are going to have combining all the ongoing expenses with their equity loans.

Thx. Sounds about right.

This 6-5 crap on 8 deck shoes has me worried it will become the norm just because they can get away with it.

I don't ask for much but that would make me stop playing.
