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.
ya but thats $25 games, resorts doesnt have $10 .45%.. im looking for a game better than .45% (8 decks, S17, DAS, DA2, split to 4 hands), but not in the high limit rooms, and i would like to know about ANY $5 tables within an hour/50mi from chicago.. btw u can wong in/out at the majestic on the $15 and under tables

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.

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!

i stand corrected.. note to self: dont take advice from players at the table about what other casinos have or dont have, go check them out yourself (which i did).. btw the penetration is about 1.6 decks, and there is no point of playing the regular blackjack tables (8 decks) at resorts, just play 21+3 (6 decks)
for some additional clarity:
at resorts there is regular blackjack (not 21 + 3) w/ 6 deck shoes.
They are at the mid limit area (the 25 dollar table)
Although pen does vary wildly, I do find the pen in generally to be better in the 25 dollars and up areas than at the 10 15 dollar tables.
Thats not to say that sometimes there are crap cuts even in the 50 dollar min area.

the pen is the usual 75%, and u wont get a damn bit of heat there.. in fact, even tho i have only played about 150 hours of blackjack, i have not seen 1 person talked to about anything, not 1 bit of heat in any way.. unless your betting blacks, i still think people are overreacting with all this heat crap, but i do know that it does happen, i just think that when somebody gets into card counting with a $10-$80 spread, they act all covert when that is not needed at most casinos with that spread
