| aluisio Member since: Sep 15, 2010 Threads: 10 Posts: 172 | I would like some help issuing where to play in PA. I will be visiting some friends in Gettysburgh-PA and would like some recomendations of nice nearby casinos. Are there any? I mostly play blackjack, baccarat, caribean stud and poker. Thanks in advance! No bounce, no play. |

| Mosca Member since: Dec 14, 2009 Threads: 74 Posts: 1628 | Blackjack rules are set by law: • Blackjacks will be paid off at 3-to-2. • Dealer must stand on soft 17 • Players may double down on any two cards (some sites limit doubling to hands totaling 9, 10 or 11). • Doubling after splitting pairs is allowed. • Late surrender is allowed Pairs may be split to a maximum of three hands; aces may not be re-split. Deal is continuous shuffle; a hand is discarded, the next hand is played, both hands go into the top of the shoe. The closest casino to Gettysburg is Hollywood Penn National, a racino. No Caribbean. Mini-baccarat, 4 Card and 3 Card, roulette and craps. The pay tables for 3 Card are downright horrifying; Pairs Plus is 1-3-5-25-35. Ante Bonus used to pay 1-3-4, it's been put back to 1-4-5. 4 Card is just as bad, Aces Up pays 1-3-4-5-7-40-50. I haven't played there, and I probably won't. I have played at Mohegan Pocono (my home casino, I live about 10 minutes away), Sands in Bethlehem, and Mt Airy. Sands and Mohegan are kind of funky, but nice; they have very much a local feel. Mt Airy has a more cosmopolitan air about it. NO KILL I |

It is only slightly closer than Charles Town in West Virginia, but it sounds like CTown isn't offering lower limits and many tables according to reports. |

| pacomartin Member since: Jan 14, 2010 Threads: 545 Posts: 6200 | The Eisenhower Hotel on Emmitsburg Road is the proposed site for a new casino, but it is not open yet.

| sang9768 Member since: Oct 9, 2010 Threads: 3 Posts: 16 | i just came back from Hollywood Casino in Grantsville. It as about 2 pm. The table Minimums were $15. However they had sticky notes out stating that at 2:30 they were changing the mimimums to $25. Also in one section of the casino they had continuous shufflers they were dealing from and another section they were dealing out of the shoe. Thought that was a bit strange. The shoe area was noticably busier. "It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Krishnamurti |
