Majesty or Opus casino boat on Long Island
- Thread starter Sharky
- Start date
4/4.5 decks
I never said i never lose. There are of course times I have taken a beating. Generally I bring $1000-$1500 with me on any given cruise and play the $25 table with a max bet of $300. The vast majority of trips, on Opus, the Midnight Gambler, and The Southern Elegance(never went on the Majesty) I have lost no more than $200 or won $500 - $1000.
I pretty much play here or at Mohegan Sun. I don't know why but it seems when I play here I tend to do a lot better in shoes with very positive true counts than I ever do at Mohegan.
Also be sure to ask for a pass for next time, or if you are a regular they will give you a pass good for two weeks. They no longer give out free passes to anyone, passes are good for $25 off admission, you still need to pay $10 which covers the port taxes($25 on sat. night cruise)
The food is edible, not great. The DJ is nothing special. Its a boat, so if its rough and you get seasick, just stay home don't complain if you get sick. And if Eddie sits at your table, take a break.
I said first time posting here, so forgive if i don't word **** right. when i said penetration at the 6 deck table was 4-4.5 decks i meant they play 4-4.5 deck and cut off 1.5-2 decks. I not stupid to play at a table that cuts off 4-4.5 decks.BUZZARD said:

psip, to be honest I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about, or you're just BSing.
First off, mohegan's one of the crappiest places to count cards, they cut at least 2 decks off a 6 deck shoe and are very strict about it.
And a comment like "you seem to do better on positive counts" at one place versus another proves you don't know crap about variance.

Well whatever you think about my skills as a player here's the lowdown on the game
There are about 12 regular blackjack tables, plus a blackjack switch, and match the dealer and a ocean's(spanish)21 table. Table min/max are $10/$200 at most tables, plus 1 $25/$300 table, and 1 $50/$500 table(not always open but usually will on request, or they will make $25 table $25/$500 on occasion). There are occasionally $5/$100 during day cruises on slow days. $25 is no-mid shoe usually only on request of the players, $50 always is. All tables have now gone to 6 decks though 8 deck discard trays remain. Penetration is very good, 1.5 or less cut off especially if you say something to the dealers/toke, they will push cut card further back. Standing on soft 17, double on anything, double after split, no re-splitting of aces, Late surrender offered, blackjack pays 3-2, can split to 4 hands and they will only let you split tens if it is an actual pair, not any 2 tens.
