    Many jurisdictions have added table games over the last year or so, and I'm sure there are casinos that should be added to the Casino List here.

    Take a second to browse the list and make sure all the relevant casinos in your area are listed. If any are missing, reply here and I'll get them added.

    Thanks!

    Nothing "NEW"

    In New Mexico, Big Rock is now called "Santa Claran" and Isleta is now "Hard Rock.":p

    I also just noticed that I don't have any of the new places in Florida listed. Those will be added soon.

  11. What is a Casino?

    I'm not trying to be cute here, but the lines between casinos and racinos have been blurring, and I'm not exactly sure what places you want included in your list. Take Rhode Island, for instance. They don't have table games per se, but I believe that they do have implementations of video blackjack. You've included Twin Rivers on your list, but not Newport Grand. Was that a mistake to include Twin Rivers, or a mistake to exclude Newport Grand?

    The lines are indeed blurred these days. I prefer to err on the side of too many listings rather than too few. Some of the slots-only places are adding Shufflemaster video blackjack for example. While tournaments may be very unlikely, it hurts nothing to have them in the list. I'll add Newport Grand.

    In western washington the ones I know are closed are:
    Big Apple, both Hooters, Midway, Northstar, Players, & Silver Dollar-Tukwilla.
    PJ Pockets has been closed since spring but the rumor mill says will reopen soon.

    Thanks leilahay. I've removed those from the list, although I left PJ Pockets in the list for now.

    Deletions anyone?

    Some places should be DELISTED because of their terrible game offerings! (50% pen BJ, 6/5 JOB VP, and the worlds worst odds--- PULLTABS!!!!!)
    Struggling casinos have 2 choices
    #1 Offer good games to solicit more customers or------
    #2 Make their games more profitable so they don't need more customers.

    I'm seeing much more of the latter. They're subscribing to the P.T. Barnum theory that a fool is born every minute (every second may be more realistic!)

    The other option is
    #3--Tournaments and matchplays.

    There is no playable VP in all of Washington and the Blackjack is generally so pathetic that I play either Pai Gow, or at some locations, Spanish 21. The majority also don't have slot machines or allow smoking (Hooray!) Why do you think that we have so many tournaments?

    They get players in the door with good value mini tournaments and generous matchplay and food comps. The one we played last night is a great example:
    $35 buy in gives you $25 and $5 match play, each $100 buy in on the tables gets another $10 match play, rebuy gets two more $10 match play. 5 rounds with 2 tables of 7, 2 advance, with payouts of 1090, 685, 535, 150, 125, 100.
    They also have some of the best Asian food in Western Washington. Bowling too!
