Sorry if I errored, but just four weeks back watched at a 25$ min., a clueless newbie hitting everything and splitting everything including 10's. The dealer never stopped him nor did the pit, just gave him strange faces.
He didn't last very long but fun to watch.
Maybe they let him go for the side show.
Yes the PEN varies... yesterday had a dealer closing her eyes and just slapped the cut card in where ever it landed...cut over three decks on one
6d shoe. I asked her why she wanted to shuffle so much....her reply...
I paid to shuffle..
Like shuffle..
You like my shuffle.
You win big on my shuffle...
Walked.... I mean ran from that table...
Then found my first deep pen dealer in 5 years.....
$10 TOKE at the shuffle and some additional tokes throughout bought me 3 absolutely beautiful 5/6 shoes in a row until the dealer took a break. Then got the normal lousy 4/6 Mo-sun is famous for.
I believe Mohegan Sun is the only casino in the world where you can't split 10's. Apparently they created the rule when a high roller was infuriated that someone else did it and never came back.
The pen can be good, or bad. But I've found if you complain about the pen there, they'll make it worse.
