AC Blackjack Rules
https://wizardofvegas.com/guides/blackjack-survey/hedge/asc/
I was able to find one of the good tables at the Aria and did well. My question is does a survey like this exist for AC? Does anybody know if they have tables that pay 3:2, stand on soft 17, double after split, surrender, and re-splitting of aces? If so, what are the table minimums? I live on the east coast but haven't been to AC in quite some time. If they had decent tables it would give me incentive to go back. I most certainly will not be going to AC again anytime soon if their blackjacks pay 6:5, hit soft 17, etc.
There is no surrender or re-splitting aces anywhere in town.

3:2 is pretty standard in AC (I have never seen a 6:5 in AC, I have heard some are around though).
H17 is pretty standard, though you may be able to find a S17 at some tables.
6-8 Decks is the norm (generally 25 and up tables have 6 decks, and the below 25 tables have 8 decks).
Surrender is pretty much nonexistent.
Double after splitting is allowed.

Yes, you're in luck because there is a chart (embedded below) which serves almost like a blackjack survey.
From the chart, you look for the ACTIVE casino with the smallest win%, i.e, Borg's 11.1 win%.
So, right now, Borgata is the best casino to play bj per the chart below.
You will love to play @Borgata. It's so unique. No other casinos can beat Borg's bj games.
For lowrollers, Borg offers the famous 3:2 $5 bj game 24/7 @ table#128.
For $25 bj players, Borg offers 6 deck bj games in pit#4, table#20 thru #32 (13 tables).
For highrollers/whales, Borg also offers the bj game with $20,000 minimum bet (the mustard-chip players) @ table#14 in the private room of Pit#1.
Quote: TwoFeathersATLThankyou Arttemis, usefull info. Not headed that way anytime soon, but I betcha a bunch of other members are!
Quote: VladsGiantsThanks Artemis. At the $25, 6 deck tables - do they hit soft 17? And is surrender allowed? I guess RSA would be asking too much...
You guys are welcome.
I embed for you guys more Borg's bj rules and info below.
VladsGiants, you can find my answers to your questions in the spreadsheet below.
Enjoy yourself, whenever you can make it to the Big B.
I wish that you guys will have many auspicious days filled with blackjacks and twenties.
If you can play at a green chip level...play Bally's 6 deck game on the main floor 2 or 3 tables open all the time. Or the Taj's $25 pit. All no-mid shoe games S17. All open 24/7. For the marina side...the "high limit" room at Harrah's is usually only a $50 limit at least on a table or two. The rest of the BJ at Harrahs is pretty bad; 6:5 tables are creeping in more all the time. But if you can do $50 the high limit area is nice.
Quote: vendman1Yeah you're basically not going to get surrender in AC. PA, MD or DE yes. But not in NJ. $25 S17 6 deck is pretty widespread in AC, some are 8 deck though.
How about in CT?
Quote: vendman1Just a couple of notes about the table Artemis provided. While it all looks correct to me. A note about the $5 BJ table at the Borg. It's open 24hrs true, it has a $5 minimum, also true. It is often three deep with players, very true. It's filled with ploppies and old ladies who take forever to decide if they should hit 15 or not. Absolutely true. Many of the BJ virgins/new players get excited when they hear there is a $5 table at the Borg, don't get excited. It's the worst BJ game in AC for most of the reasons I mentioned above. Hate it.

A dead $5 bj table @Borg!
Some things have changed recently. Weekday-players don't feel crowded @ the table#218. In fact a player emailed me a photo of the empty $5 bj table@Borg.
The photo's taken circa 6pm on a weekday. The "hot-dealer" probably annihilated all the redchippers @ the table.

All players should be aware of the legal loophole... the sovereign immunity!
Yesterday's court ruling basically warns players to stay away from CT's Indian Casinos. The Judge thumbed down & went against 2 gamblers & Ms. Sun (Phil Ivey's ex-Pardner in Minnie-Bac Game). The 3 gamblers forfeited almost $3 million in winnings and deposits. Luckily they only lost money, NOT their arms and legs literally.
Quote:In a judgment entered Monday in federal court in New Haven, U.S. District Judge Janet Hall ruled the gamblers couldn't sue Foxwoods because the Connecticut casino's owner, the Mashantucket Pequots, has sovereign immunity as an American Indian tribe.

The best kept secret in AC is this...
The only $25 double deck game has been offered for years in this AC casino. I don't want to make it too E-Z for you guys, but I give you a clue...
Look for the Glenn Straub's “Triumphant Lady”. Glenn had parked his huge yacht near Revel, but now he parks it in front of this casino (with the only $25 double deck game in AC.)

That's a photo I never thought I'd see. Still good luck the other 23 hours a day, or any time on the weekend.

There's that little yellow sign that says your betting will be restricted if you dare to play unrated.
Well, another court in another state ruled yesterday that unions can organize Indian casinos because the workers are not Indians.Quote: ArtemisAll players should be aware of the legal loophole... the sovereign immunity!

Quote: vendman1Restricted play at a nickel table. What's the posted table max $500 probably. What are these a**holes worried about. That someone might actually win? The Borgata makes many millions a year in profit. God forbid someone would hit them for a couple grand at the nickel table.
Generally speaking nickel tables have less favorable rules than $25 tables which have less favorable rules than $100 tables. If I were the type of gambler who was able to bet a couple hundred or couple grand as my standard bet, I wouldn't do it at the nickel table.

Right. Which was kind of my point. Why is the Borgata, or any place else for that matter, restricting play on a nickel table.. what is the point? How up tight/paranoid is management that they even bother to do this.

I know the game your talking about, it does exist at certain times at night on the weekends mostly from what I remember - but the rules are horrible, from what I recall, you cant double down after a split and its H17. I don't even know if this game is offered anymore. The game is not terrible, you can get to a favorable count a lot more frequently than a 6D or 8D, so you can press your bet a lot more frequently. You have to play rated in order to play 2 hands also. You won't have the edge until your over a +1 - +1 your just about even - I believe the house edge is around .55% .
Definitely, the closest thing your going to find to a vegas $25 DD on the east coast.
