I'm looking for a casino with the House Money sidebet. My nearby casino, Rocky Gap in Maryland, had it. I had some of my biggest wins there and they took it away because I was the only one that like it. So in a week I'm visiting my mother in Reading which gives me a chance for a casino visit. I saw Mohegan Sun has it. Just wondering about places like Sands, HCPN, Valley Forge, or anywhere in AC. Not really interested in Parx, Chester, or Sugar House.

Harrington, DE had it last time I was there a few months ago. It appears to be about the same distance from Reading as Atlantic City.

Pretty certain Valley Forge does not have it plus you have to pay to get into the casino.

Mohegan HAD it, but only in two $5 pits, so far as I know, but they took it out. Customers did not like it, on top of which they didn't train the dealers on it, I guess because it was a trial, on just a handful of tables. There were customers explaining it to dealers, as well as floor people, who only seemed to find out about it when they got assigned to the $5 pit ghetto. Didn't last long.

Boy, that's too bad. I thought it was a great game when I played it in London. Hope it makes a comeback out East.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Wizard covers it. Not a bad HE for a side bet.

To clarify if I may. The OP is about Pennsylvania and rhodyBob appears to be referring to Connecticut.

I can confirm 100% that Valley Forge does not have it. Enjoy Reading, the 2012 poorest city in America.

We do have a Mohegan Sun in PA near Scranton, though I do not know if he was talking about that one.

True but the Connecticut casino had the game in the $5 pit and rhodyBob plays there. In Connecticut, not necessarily in the $5 pit. He's from nearby Rhode Island.

Oops. Forgot that there's a Mohegan in PA. Sorry.

I guess you didn't watch the Undercover Boss episode featuring both properties. You didn't miss much.
