Another phrase is "don't bother".
A small casino, probably the smallest one in the lower peninsula of Michigan, which has a very nice interior and nice cocktail waitresses to look at, but the gambling is nothing short of poor.
Video Poker left a lot to be desired. The best JoB I could find was $1 8/5 and the $0.25 was 7/5.
The blackjack game is fairly standard for the area, 6D, H17, DAS. However, Aces can only be split to two hands, one card on each, NO resplits. Remaining pairs can be split to four hands. NO surrender. Pen is via a notch in the discard tray, roughly 1.3-1.4. AND DOUBLE MINS TO PLAY TWO HANDS (forgot that part)
The dealers are absolutely TERRIBLE. Painfully slow. May have gotten in three shoes an hour and that's with an ASM. Only a couple pay-off errors that I observed especially since the dealers were adding and re-adding the hands several times to make sure they got it right. Buy-ins were slow, pay-outs were slow, especially with double downs or blackjacks on atypical amounts.
Mid to late morning 6D shoes were $15 min with a few $25. Later in the day they all are $25 from what I hear. They do have some CSM’s at $5 and $10 mins to keep some of the ploppies happy.
Considering its close location to the second largest city in the state, I think it will be awhile until the novelty wears off and they "get with the system" and offer a game that will compete with their neighbors down the road.
