Trump Taj is going to ****
- Thread starter pit15
- Start date
They stopped being the high roller destination years ago. Too many murderers and punks in that casino. Give them credit though for going to $1 tables. They're making more money now doing that then they'd otherwise be doing. I have yet to see an empty $1 table. The people playing those tables aren't there to be making any money. They're just there to have what they think is cheap entertainment.

Wouldn't you be paying the dealer more per hour than you're making off the players who risk $1 a hand?

This is really sad to hear. 
Taj was kind of my home base for a several years when I was located back east. At the time they has bad 8 deck h17 low limit games but still had better s17 games at $25 and up. And Resorts right next door had decent $25 and up games, with at times decent pen, so I stayed and played there a lot. Probably even more than in the marina district.
Taj also had the best burgers in AC at what was properly named "Burger". :laugh: Loved those juicy things.

It's pen has gotten worse lately. I think even their $25 games are H17 now. Recently Trump started sending different offers for each of their resorts and the offers are valid only where you play.kewljason said:This is really sad to hear.

I remember watching the $1 game with ante at resorts a couple years ago when it first started. Between the extra time for collecting ante's, making change (lot's of quarters) and slow play of the inexperienced low limit players that where drawn to that game, the game moved at a crawl. I'll bet they were getting 20-25 rounds per hour. It was considerably slower than a regular full low limit table, which moves pretty slow. As I said it was new back then, so maybe dealers and such have gotten better at it.

I remember when they used to be s17 everywhere and they gave out free redbulls....Now, almost everything is h17 and your lucky if you can find a casino that will give you free redbull.

Summer will bring a constant influx of tourists to AC, and they will willingly play the $1.25 blackjack.

Bag of poop
$1.25 blackjack? Well, you can wrap up a bag of poop in a pretty package... but you still have nothing more than a bag of poop there! I was just having a discussion the other day with Flash about the lack of basic math skills in the general public and of how they are clueless to being taken serious advantage of in certain casino games, such as this new thing with the 25 cent ante on $1 blackjack. The casinos promote this as being, "Cheap, fun and all the thrills of blackjack without the higher risk!" or whatever the promotional advertising says but in all actuality it would be less costly for them to be playing $10 or $15 a hand with no ante! These tables are jammed full on the weekends! It's a brilliant idea that will rake a stupid public over the coals and make a nice steady buck or two for the casinos that are doing it.
You are right about the boardwalk casinos such as Taj. It's difficult NOT to be wandering about boardwalk casinos such as the Taj without being accosted by hustlers, panhandlers, crackmonkeys, etc. They are everywhere and seem to be running amok to the point of you asking yourself, "If this is such a high class joint, why am I being approached by this smelly homeless person and they are asking for $3.00 out of me?" They become a familiar sight and you simply get used to the local junkies, homeless smelly drunks and an assortment of hoodlums up to no good lurking about.

Did you ever meet the guy with the baby stroller, who asks you for money? I'm 99% sure there's no baby in that stroller :laugh: Its a good angle though.Tarzan said:
The only good thing that might come out of 1.25 BJ is it might give a taste of BJ to newb ploppies, and they might like it and grow up to be real BJ ploppies someday. A significant portion of the players are college age kids at that table. Kind of scratch my head when I see the old asian man there :laugh:
