Who knew how good we had it out here in the west? I had a chance to check out a
few AC casinos last weekend and they were all worse than the average LV strip
joint, let alone the good casinos. Both 2 & 12 on the field pay double, which I
don't care about much, and they charge the vig up front on the 4 & 10, which
matters a lot to me. Odds were 3-4-5.
Almost made me regret spending all that money learning how to throw the dice!

How did you like the minimums? The Borgata was running at least one $100
table on Sunday. |

Yeah, AC is ruining it for the rest of the Northeast!

I walked through the Borgata and saw that if I wanted to play it would have to
be the $100 table. They had a few cheaper tables that were full. At Trump
Plaza, by comparison, I could always find a $15 table. I'm not even sure they
had anything higher than that.
They spent a lot of money on the Borgata, but mostly so everyone could see how
great they were. At Bellagio I feel a lot more like the expense was for my
benefit. Mostly I think I'm just out of place with the culture in AC. |

One major sad aspect of that is how it discourages potential younger players
with smaller bankrolls. No doubt that contributes to the contraction of an
otherwise fine game. |

I play in AC, but never on the weekends. I don't like crowds, and higher
minimums make it less attractive to me.
Most AC casinos offer 5X odds. I am aware of the ones that do 3,4,5X odds.
Trump Taj does have a 20X odds table last I checked. I don't bet the
field, so it isn't an issue with me.
However, there are 14 craps pits available in relatively close proximity
in AC. Which is a plus for me.
I find that their games are well run, and the tables are in good
condition. I usually play at $10 tables during the weekday. It does
require a decent bankroll.
AC has apparently had a good deal of influence on the game especially at
many native american casinos. Somewhat more stringent vigs.
Would I prefer to play in AC with the "conditions" that were found in
downtown LV back in the day? Everyone would prefer a low minimum game,
with lower vigs.
But, the AC market is what it is.
I wouldn't characterize the conditions as "poor" however. An inside Place
bet costs the same all over. The games are well run, but I can see why the
less than 5X odds tables could be an issue. The higher minimums are also
an issue for those who play in smaller venues with $2 mins.
The boys have always taken good care of me at the tables. |
