I found the Shufflemaster machines at Harrah's Chester at the far end of the room from the entrance from the parking garage. As you enter the room and look all the way down, the machines are past the circular bar and to the right. I'm pretty sure there was a $5 machine back in mid-May...hope...

Harrah's Chester has a $5 Shufflemaster machine... Harrington in DE has super low limits at tables before 1100... Otherwise, you'll have to settle for $10 or higher mins. p

The high-schooler gets to vacation at the Swiss convent. The rest of us get to go to the beach!! p :laugh:

As of mid-May: Tables at the valet entrance are 6-deck, ASM. Standard PA rules. Mins are 10-15 in the mornings (more $10 tables than $15), and seem to go up in the mid-afternoons (mostly $15 with a few $25). There are several $15 min Shufflemaster Royal Match machines. In the back...

I tried the Jersey Shore a couple of years ago--boy did it seem like a different country!!:grin: This time, thought I try a place more like home! :cool: I know the rules aren't the best, but do you have more specifics on the "rumors of being dishonest?" Appreciate the help. p

Will be there on vacation later this month. Anyone been lately? Best casino? Conditions? Thx, p

Hollywood Casino at Penn National Raceway (Racetrack?) is NE of Harrisburg, approx 15 miles on I-81. Thanks for the Harrah's suggestion--I'll ask Emily and see what she thinks :) p

Other DE casinos are better The Delaware casinos are closest to me, also. According to Emily, my (un)trustworthy GPS, Harrington is actually closest, but as Aslan said, it's pretty horrible. I much prefer Dover (much more "upscale") and will also go to Delaware Park and Penn National...

One more story from Stuttgart: From the last post, remember that Tuesday is New Dealer Night. Dealer changes every 20 min or so. (There's a cushion on the dealer chair. The departing dealer is supposed to flip i over for the arriving dealer. DON'T FORGET TO FLIP THE CUSHION if you don't...

Played at Spielbank Stuttgart again this evening. So, Tuesday is new dealer night!! Misdeals, mispays, all caught and paid correctly by the supervisor. Except... At one point, the dealer had dealt the first card to seven boxes and himself (a four), and then the second card. He also took a...

At the small casino in DE, there's a table that is 8D shoe (don't remember the rest of the rules, but standard DE rules). As the dealer takes the card out of the shoe, the card gets "read" and it shows up on a small (less than 8x10) screen at each box. The screen totals the cards and also...

That night about 90 minutes. One other night, about 2 hrs and gave it all back! Figures. You cannot re-split aces, and double is 9, 10, A. Couldn't figure out the pen, though (JOKE!!)

While playing in Germany this week, I think the lady next to me was trying to tell me how to play--I just didn't understand any of it!! Finally, I replied, "spreche english?" and never heard another word!

So...I played at Spielbank last night. 6D CSM. ENHC, split up to four hands (did it and doubled on one...dealer hit a stiff and got 21 :( ), DAS. Dealer blackjack takes all bets, and pushes a player BJ. They offer even money on player BJ and dealer ace, no surrender. 10 euro min, 500 max...

Lame-o first-post intro para: I've been following the site for a while now. Thanks to all for the great info--my game is much improved. Now for the real questions: I'll be in Stuttgart at the end of the month and in Munich in March. Any info on conditions at Spielbank Stuttgart (I last...
