    Oklahoma Blackjack

    Anything Left in Reno?

    My trip is coming up quick. Any big changes other than Silver Club, Fitz, and Siena going to D10? I'm assuming no $5 DOA 1D outside of Boom, Rail, Western, & Alamo? Anyone been to Alamo recently? Last time I was there they were shuffling after every hand when I was playing heads up.

    Is there anything decent in Reno/Lake Tahoe?

    Alamo is on the far eastern end of Sparks, you can barely see it from I-80. Address: 1950 E Greg Street Sparks Nevada 89431

    Anything Left in Reno?

    I'm so sad to hear the news of Silver Club and Siena. Those were my two base casinos for every trip. Being a long time nickel player, the rules were outstanding and only a 5 hour road trip away. I'm taking some friends to Reno for their 21st birthday in February (20-22). Will the Siena be...

    Reno living conditions?

    As for home prices I think you can actually get a nicer home for the money in Vegas if you look in the right place. I attempted to get a job in Reno a while back and decided against it when I saw housing prices compared to Oregon. (Dead link...

    Is there anything decent in Reno/Lake Tahoe?

    I was in Reno recently and can tell you a bit about Alamo. The pen. was awful for the evening shift on Saturday. At one point I was playing heads up and they were shuffling after two rounds! I was spreading from one hand of $5 to two hands of $25 with no heat. After I started building a...

    Reno Rules

    I don't remember the exact hand that I had, I just remember that it added to 17, dealer had 21, and I still won the hand.

    Reno Rules

    Thanks Bob, The trip was a success. Circus Circus has crappy single and double deck rules (D10,11) but the comp was too good to pass up. I played 5 hours straight the first night with minimal camoflauge needed (I'm a nickel player). Using Zen and some indexes pulled away the first night up...

    How do you think the Casino's Feel about "21"

    Well said Mr. 17. I completely agree with your take on the counters response. My only concern is whether casinos may use this movie as an excuse to employ worse rules. 6:5 has become an epidemic in Vegas, and I'm sure I'll see more of the like on my trip to Reno this weekend...

    When will you see "21"

    I saw it last night at the midnight showing. Very far fetched from the book, and definitely could have been made a lot better. I was definitely disappointed. But it was entertaining and believable.

    Reno Rules

    Heading out to Reno this weekend. Any rule changes I should know about? If I play 5 hours at Circus Circus I get my room comped, what are the rules like there? I usually go out to Sparks for the good DA2 1D games.

    Anybody have any Vegas requests?

    I've got a request, see if El Cortez or 4 Queens have changed their rules since the big 100,000 win.
