They have 5-100, 10-200, and 25-500 tables, all with the following rules:

4D H17 DAS DOA
They allow double/insure for less and early surrender. Penetration is about 75%, dealer does not take a hole card.
 
Are you sure that all of the tables are 4 Deck? Last time i was there they were all 6 Deck. Also, do you know when they open up the 25-500 table?

EDIT- and before anyone gets all excited and drives into the middle of nowhere, it is only ESv10, not full early surrender.
 
My mistake I just clarified with them that it's ES10 over the phone.

I am sure they are 4D, and I believe the 25-500 tables open on weekend evenings, not sure about during the week. I will double check when I go Saturday.
 
Had a good night here on saturday, but sweet merciful lord almighty are there some horrible players here! I was at a full table and everyone, everyone I saw that night didn't understand "don't hit your 15 vs 6" and so on. I know it's common to find people that don't even know BS but come on...

Lucky lucky turned out to pay quite well. I simply bet it whenever the count was lower and I kicked some tail; after hitting a couple suited 21's (15-1) the ploppies were eyeing me.
 
limits

Those are actually not too bad limits for the area. Most places around there will only have a spread of 20x. So like 10-200 for example. A lot of the other places that I play at only have a 10x spread, and given the shitty rules, it basically becomes unplayable from a play all standpoint unless other forms of AP are used.
 
Most likely because they are stupid. If you can't think of a reason, this is always the fallback response :laugh:.

Do they not allow big spreads because they don't want counters playing so aggressively or because they cant handle the swings (or some other reason)?

Stupid/fearful. A lot of these places don't have as much working capital, either. If a casino has a few hundred thousand in capital, they can't lose it all in one night to a guy betting $100 a hand on a side bet, or $1000 on the main game.

Oh man if I owned a casino with only a few hundred thousand in capital I'd probably limit games to $500 max, max!

I mean, in all seriousness, what do you think these Indian casinos are working with? Obviously not the bigger ones like Foxwoods, but if you go into a place with 4 blackjack tables in Oklahoma, they probably don't have that much money...

how many casinos there?
how many of them with decent pen. 75%?
tolerlance to cc ?
 
there is only 1 casino... they have 2 CSM, and 1 shoe game during the weekdays. on the weekends, they will open 2 more tables with shoes. your almost always playing at a full table, and the $25-$500 table is only opened on weekends... sometimes they don't open the $25-$500 table on the weekends at all... unless you request it. it's a very small casino... they don't have high limit area, Craps, or even Baccarat. they have 1 pit for all there table games in one small area.

Hi Tree,

Can you elaborate on the rules and payoffs for suited blackjacks? You mention 15-1. Is this the payoff for all suited BJs or does it apply only to a single suit, e.g. diamonds?

Someone mentioned 2 CSMs in this casino in this thread. This means that there are 8 regular (or ASM) tables?

Any feedback appreciated.

Cheers,

BJ Warrior
