Hilton's 2 deckers

I hit one at Planet Hollywood two years ago I think it was. I had been hitting a lot of negative variance, and so I had switched to 25 cent VP. Finally, my last night I switched to 50 cents because I was losing too much to get even at 25. I hit a RSF in hearts to get even for the trip. Talk about luck! I was uninformed about full pay machines until last year, so I was playing a lot of poor machines, especially deuces wild machines. Now I am careful to play only full pay machines.
AC conditions are sad. 
Hence, my decision to migrate west at least part-time. Hopefully, but doubtfully, competition from 2 neighboring states due to begin tables games play sometime this year will help. In fairness, Abenzio described only very average games for AC. There are somewhat better games, if you look. 8 deck/1.5 cut, 6 deck/1.25 cut can be found if you shop around.
As for his claim concerning counter catcher, "Charles" at Borgata, by my records I played more than 30,000 hands at Borgata in 2009, (I track hands played rather than hours) winning nearly 1100 units and never encountered "charles" nor was bet restricted.

One table open - $15min, your spot on with the pen. Watching for an hour and never saw less then 1d cut off.
The felt has 7 spots + the dealer. Watched players have 6 hands (includes the dealers) go 3 rounds and the cut card was out, happened consistently for 3 or 4 dd's in a row.
Stripping, riffling, flip flopping, another riffle, and another stripping just to put it into a ASM anyway. Talk about a waste of time.
Saw a guy going 1x15, 2x $15 to 2x $75 with no heat.

Double Deck Penetration
I think that with the great amount of interest shown here regarding the Hilton's double deck games since January and the number of forum members that have physically observed them, that it would be wise to spend 15-20 mins. scouting the tables and actually counting down the pen. for three consecutive shuffles, calculating the average , noting the time of day and coming up with an accurate penetration %. That's not asking too much, is it?

Here's another report from a reliable outside source who is a regular poster on another site.
After WTC's recent visit to Hilton's DD games, she summed it up well.
"The DD game that is much talked about in some quarters is a crappy version (1.0 pen) of the worst LV DD games that were also far too crowded to be playable."
