Why are there no double deck games in AC?

After 9 days in Vegas BJ'll never be the same without double deck games. Why aren't there any DD games in AC? I guess I already know the answer. We need to start an AP Union. lol Picket the casinos until they give in to our demands.

Aslan, I'm with you man. Here's a thought. Why don't get a bunch of us members here on the Forum together and plan a convention at an AC hotel. We can appoint a convention coordinator and have him call the hotels and book a whole block of rooms if they would provide us with DD play for the weekend. If they lose any more revenue from the Pa. and Del. slot parlors than they have already, they may indeed entertain that idea.

Dealing a pitch game opens up a whole new category of problems involving cheating. Also most East Coast players are totally unfamiliar with the idea of holding one's cards in BJ and will either avoid the game or screw it up. Especially with the large no-English population in the AC casinos; they'll spend more time telling them not to take the cards off the table or handle them with two hands than dealing the game. Even their 6:5 SD games are dealt face-up.

I'm pretty sure Caesars deals it face down. This is, of course, from a quick glance as I walk past those 2 tables in disgust

There was one house in LV that dealt DD face up. That would be one solution.

My friend who is an eye in the sky is also an AP. She plays in other houses. She asked her supervisor what she would do if her picture ever appeared in Griffin. The supervisor replied, "I'd be proud of you!"

But, no, we don't want a group picture.
