Casinos mangers really do dumb things sometimes. Mt. Airy will make more than enough money off of people making poor surrender decisions.

Thanks for the info forme. If the players on the Shuffle Master electronic BJ game are any indication of how players will use surrender, the addition of this rule should benefit Mt. Airy considerably.

BJgenius, which casino?

Tico, it would be better if each person wrote their own complaint. As a rule, government organizations and politicians disregard form letters and cut and paste type complaints.

BTW, Mt. Airy casino was the one PA casino that had alleged ties to organized crime. http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080131/NEWS/801310314

No, unfortunately, I can't. However, I can say I know of two players who were asked not to play blackjack (I'm don't believe they were formally barred).

Late Surrender is required by PA state gaming regulations. Every Pennsylvania casino except Mt. Airy has the LS rule. I suggest you and others who have visited Mt. Airy file a complaint with the PA gaming commission. Doing so will only take a few minutes. You can do so online at the link...

Yes, PA casinos can and already have barred players.

Were the $10 six deck shoe dealer shuffled games at Delaware Park or Dover Downs?

Wow, they really must hate making money.

$100 max? Do you mean $100 minimum bet?

Normal limits on the 18th. $5 limits are the test date, 7/16.

Ok, got it. I thought you were talking about win/loss when you said you never got into positive territory.

Since you were plus $430, I assume you meant "negative" territory? Thanks for the report.

Yes, the dealers will need time to (literally) get up to speed.
