Off the top of my head, I dont know of anything but ill check CBJN anyway and let you know. Of course, im just curious what the pen is on that .45 game is that your talkin about, for that, is usually the most important factor. Im actually surprised there arent any 6 deck games that offer the same house edge. I guess the games are gettin worse for everyday.

It is a list of table conditions for all US casinos.

Resorts is much better than M Star.

You can play quarter games with mid shoe entry to wong in and out.

M Star for quarter games you have no mid shoe and you can only spread to two hands.

I would agree that Resorts is better than M Star. Not only for conditions, but nicer casino in general.

You're wrong.
CBJN says that Resorts has 15 $10 tables at .43% and they are not in the high limit room. I've also been to Resorts within the last month and can verify that some of the games are even 6 deck shoes at the lower limits $15. The pen really varies from dealer to dealer so the percentages can really get better.

As for 5 dollar tables, I think you have to go to Blue Chip.

Default which nw indiana casino is the best?

i checked out resorts east chicago and horseshoe in northwest indiana yesterday.. both have 6 decks, S17, DAS, DA2, split to 4 hands.. both have $10 tables, but horseshoe is $15 after 6pm, and resorts only has 6 decks on the 21+3 tables.. so it depends what time your going to the casinos in northwest indiana.. if your going at 6am-2pm, then the majestic is the best because it has $5 tables then (you can ask them "since its dead can you make a $5 table please" and they usually will) (8 decks tho), and if your going at 2pm-6pm you can choose either the horseshoe or resorts (both $10, 6 decks), and if your going 6pm-6am, then resorts is the best ($10, 6 decks).. hope that helps!
