Delaware Park? Anybody?

I've been lurking here, but I just registered so I can post.
I live in DE and go to DE Park and Dover Downs. Both places are grossly understaffed and can't keep up with the demand. I went on a Saturday night two weeks ago and they have about 6-7 tables going for BJ total (including HL) and about 8-9 not going at all.
Most of the games are CSM games, but upstairs there was two $10 min tables running six deck shoes dealer shuffled. The clientele here looks clueless and just wants to play anything they can. I waited over two hours to get on one of the six deck shoe games and no one got up so I just left.
I've been a total of three times. I won $300, lost $400 and then yesterday I won $1,000. I play BS and tend to bet two hands between $25-50.
Thats it for now.

I was there today. Upstairs they had a number of $25 hand shuffled games, S17 LS DAS 8-deck. Won $200. Also, made $30 free slot play good through VP Deuces Wild.
Went to Dover Downs, played 6-deck $25, S17 DAS NS. Lost $50. Made a $2,000 swing on one one long plus count, but unfortunately, that only got me back to -$50. Won $60 on advan. slot play.

They parked a car upstairs at Delaware Park? That building is so old and decrepit that I would be afraid to walk near it or under it. The "beautiful" entrance on the North side, that goes under the train tracks, gives you an idea of the wonderful condition that building is in.
When they condemned the walkway over the rr tracks, they should have condemned the whole place. God forbid they should ever have a fire. No one on that 3rd floor would get out alive. I hate to see how unsafe it is on the 4th floor because I saw no means of egress other than one escalator.
On top of that the outdoor seating above the 3rd floor was some old wooden benches that had been condemned!
I'm glad to hear that Aslan reported more hand shuffled games there. Is the pene still decent? Are they open more than just one shift per day now?

I left to play the 6-deckers at Dover Downs (no LS) and played 4 hours to break even. The pen was a deck and a half or more there as well.
The Park had the better game IMO. Both were $25 games, although up until 3 pm, Dover Downs had several $15 tables on Saturday. I think they have $10 games early during the week; I don't know if and when they kick them up.

They do not open upstairs until about 2:30 pm. I mainly went to find some slots, but they had removed them from the building. I played one shoe, won $200 and figured the variance gods were good to me. The pen as I recall was a deck and a half or more; I never had to use the LS.

Glad to hear you had some + variance.
I saw nothing lower than $25. That is not to say that some days, or hours, they don't have lower min games. It had been a long time since I was there last. At that time they had only two hand shuffle games, and those were not opened every day. That's why I quit going there. Considering the LS feature and assuming not too hateful pen, I like these 8-deck games better than the 6-deck games at Dover.
