    Why the low limits for 6:5 SD?

    to limit the spread My guess is that they keep the table max down to limit the possible spread. I imagine the game is beatable with some monster spread ($25-$1000, perhaps). I assume the house has decided that it's easier to keep a low table limit than to hire competent PCs to police the games...

    Paradise Island, Bahamas

    Nassau Both Atlantis and Crystal Palace offer 6D S17 DOA DAS no LS (basically AC rules) with table mins from $15 up to $500. At Atlantis, there are also several $10/15 min. 6:5 SD games (which, unfortunately, means very few $15 min. 6D games). Comps are tough at Atlantis - it is high roller...

    And EVEN MORE CASINO/GOP Corruption!

    Re: casino/GOP corruption *LINK* The Abramoff case is going to make the pending Delay and Libby indictments look like child's play. It is a much more serious threat to Delay than the current indictment for Texas campaign law violations. Lock 'em all up and throw away the key!

    The Dreadful, Dreary, Boring World of Canadian Casinos

From a policy perspective, however, public casinos (the model in much of Europe, as well...

    Stanford Wong tossed from Golden Nugget while playing Craps

    Hmmmm Maybe a minor blow to his dice-throwing career, but a BIG boost to his writing career (I suspect Mr. Wong makes a lot more money selling books than from actual gambling). Maybe he paid them to back him off in order to give credibility to "Wong on Dice"?

    Seriously off topic...

    We should be "open minded" to valid competing scientific theories, but not to religious dogma masquerading as science "I don't recall anyone suggesting that we teach the religious perspectives on the origin of the universe and of man to schoolchildren" Precisely my point - ID is nothing more...

    Seriously off topic...

    Kansas - moving forward to the 1600s "all kinds of ideas should be presented in schools" we need to present both sides of the following issues: (a) the earth is round vs. (b) the earth is flat (a) the earth revolves around the sun vs. (b) the earth is the center of the universe (remember...

    Backwards in Kansas, Forwards in Pennsylvania *LINK* At least the morons who voted in favor of teaching intelligent design in Dover, PA have ALL been voted off of the school board. Of course, the downside is that it may render moot the Pennsylvania court case in which the teaching of...
