| teddys Member since: Nov 14, 2009 Threads: 100 Posts: 2723 | I was randomly surfing casino websites and saw this interesting promotion at Bayou Caddy's Casino in Greenville, MS: " 2 To 1 Blackjack • Jubilee always brings more to the table! • Every Monday and Wednesday from 2:00pm to 6:00pm • BJ's will pay 2-to-1 instead of 3-to-2*. • See Pit for details Some restrictions may apply. See Cashier's Cage for complete details." I would assume they cap the betting at something small, since this results in a sizeable advantage for the player. Otherwise, I would be on the next flight down to Greenville!

I was just at that casino in late september. It's a pretty small, locals/casual tourist oriented, and I think the max was $200 (5/200). The city has a very cute downtown, and there's a lovely park between Bayou Caddy's and Lighthouse point. There's also a $10 signon bonus at each casino. Not that it wouldn't be worth it, but it's surrounded by some laughably expensive airports (Jackson, Monroe, Little Rock, Memphis). It'd probably almost make sense to fly to saint louis or new orleans and accept the additional drive time.

They cancelled it mid-game while I was sitting there, I think the 3rd or 4th week. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

| teddys Member since: Nov 14, 2009 Threads: 100 Posts: 2723 | I lived in Jackson for six months, but never went to any of the MS River casinos, only the Native American Silver Star in Philadelphia. I did go to Greenville, and in fact have relatives there. Great town, with a great restaurant called Doe's Eat Place.

I remember that one! I went along too, and the Wizard's wife made a rare appearance to help out, so we could have as many people playing as possible. Ah, what nostalgia. As I recall we didn't win anything, or just had a very small win. |

| WinningWays Member since: Mar 4, 2010 Threads: 5 Posts: 11 | I'm traveling through Greenville soon...... is it the kind of town that one can see in a day or is it worth staying overnight? Any decent cheap hotels downtown? I think I read somewhere that there are only 4! Is it a safe place to wander? Most importantly how many casinos are there?! Conditions for Blackjack good? Any heat? |
