In case you're not familiar with it, Philadelphia Park is one of the new slot parlors in PA. Recently they added electronic Blackjack, so it got me curious as to what the rules really were. Also, they had a $25 signup bonus, so wife and I each got to play slots for $25. I wound up winning about $7 and she won $15. Wow
They had several stations of Shufflemaster electronic blackjack, with min bets ranging from $5 to $25. Rules were poor - H17, no resplitting, double any two, not sure about DAS (does it matter at this point?) It used 6 decks and reshuffles after every hand. I'm surprised Blackjack paid 3:2 and not 6:5. What a joke!
Getting back to the slots. I've NEVER seen a decent-sized casino have just about every slot machine seat taken like this was. It was unbelievable. In the parking lot, most of the plates were from PA, but a fair number of NJ and NY plates, too. If today was a typical day, the AC casinos are in BIG trouble.
