Default New West Virginia Blackjack Games

The Mountaineer in West Virginia will start blackjack on Dec 20. Does anyone have any idea what types of games they will have? Nothing specific on their web site.

Thanks.

There doesn't appear to be much info out there on the rules yet. I read from another board that both Wheeling and Mountaineer will be offering 6 deck shoes. I'm a basic strategy player myself and plan on being there the morning of the 20th. I'm just excited to have something close. This is only 1.5 hours away from where I'm at. Before it was either travel to Detroit (3.5 hours), Alleghany (3.5 hours),Argosy (5 hours). I will post playing conditions if noone else does.

Thanks, Farook, and good luck. I live about 2 hours away and will likely visit in the next week or 2. I figured that they would have 6 deck shoes since there is no competition close by. It wouldn't even surprise me if they use continuous shufflers. I am spoiled since I have recently been to Nevada a few times. I love double deck with decent penetration.

Thanks for the feedback.

Default just back from mountaineer

they have no single or double deck games at all . All BJ is shoe * deck unless you play in the high rollers room wherre it is 6 with standard rules DAS. DS17. aces only once and all others 3 splits . The casino was jammed with nothing but ploppies big time and not even playing basic strategy in its infancy form . The stand on 15?16/14/13/ was common against a dealer up card of 7-A yes A , and they splity every pair against everything including 20's as i saw in the high limit room on SEVERAL occasions . The tables were jammed and the wait at the $25.00 min tables was like 30-45 minutes .the low limit tables those clowns never even left to puiss it seems . I ended up dropping $5,000.00 and no one in our whole group won - mist dropped their buy ins which were $10,000.00 or close to it .we stayed only like 5 hours and we saw enough that we would never go back aand their comp system is a joke !!!!!!

Well, sorry about that bad trip. Nice to hear that they are using shoes and NO damn CSMS like Wheeling. I'm used to 8 deckers. I don't think I've ever played a 6 deck game yet. Since I'm playing strictly BS it doesn't make much of a difference to me. Do they have $5 minimum tables? Thanks for the info.

Default the table limits

were $10.00 and $15.00 were the lowest that I saw . The majority of tables are $25.00 and up . The one thing that I noticed was the "big wheel" had constantly at least 20 people playing it . Give you any idea of the I.Q. down there ? Thanks for the condolences but 5k is just a day out - no problem . Good luck wherever you go . Soon with the economy catching up with alot of people out here you will see casinos giving more incentives i think to play and better comps as well although I may be wrong. A friend of mine his son works at Greektown and the word up in motor city is there will be layoffs after the first of the year .

look no one in America is going to say that West Virginians are the smartest people on earth....am kind of surprised to hear the lack of $10 tables...i mean, it IS West Virginia...i was expecting to hear $1 minimal tables.

i'm a low-stakes guy from pittsburgh and will be visiting next saturday...but i'm fairly discouraged now. $5K is a little outrageous, almost unbelieveable, for someone who is perusing websites for tips on casinos.....next you're going to tell me that you're going to monticello with 50K's to throw around? RIIIGHT.

anyways i'll take a total count of $10/$15/$25 tables for those of you who are using this site and are non-fictional users actually trying to gain info that we can use.
