BJ Rules at Cincinnati area casinos

I spread 5-200 haha. Table max was 500 and I probably could have gotten away with it but I just don't have the bankroll. Variance is a bitch and its pretty easy to drop a grand when your betting 200 even at +EV

I'm assuming HSI is the Horseshoe? and if so, that would be a little too far to drive.

I have never gambled in the great state of Indiana, but I hope to put a small dent in the education tax fund by winning!

I agree that Grand Vic is your best bet. It's the least scenic of the three casinos but it has the best rules. Hollywood doesn't offer late surrender or rsa. Belterra doesn't offer ls but does have rsa.

The last time I was at Belterra they did not allow RSA. However, they ADVERTISE that they S17, especially for those on the way to Horseshoe. I enjoy Horseshoe the best of the four, and I was talking with a dealer there. I guess the flooding earlier this year really took a hit on them (Horseshoe was the only one that had to close). I'm pretty sure most of their customers ventured up to Belterra, and since Horseshoe often has well-read players, they appreciate that rule. (Incidentally, Belterra does not charge the vig up front on BUY 4/10.)

I think that Horseshoe High Limit Double Deck is probably the second best option (outside GV high limit 6-deck). They S17, double on any two cards, no double after split, no RSA. $50 minimums most of the time, but I think I've seen 25 as well.

Hollywood has by far the worst options overall. Other than being a stunning casino (it's pretty amazing looking), the rules are really not player friendly on any game. They had BJ switch for a long time, but took it out to put some more bad tables in.

Thanks to all for the help.

The baseball was great watching the Tribe take both of the games I was in attendance.

As for the gambling... you probably should have reccommended a different casino if you wanted me to win!!
