I think it depends on where you're from. If BJ pays 3:2 and the HA is really .285%, then the game is pretty good. BUT, you can find a very similar game spread in Atlantic City or Connecticut. So I wouldn't drive past AC to go to Delaware, but I wouldn't drive through Delaware to get to AC either.

I agree w/rdwpotus.

Fact is, the three casinos there are wildly different from one another (I think I mentioned this in another thread); each has it's own thing going. For example, if you go to Harrington right now, you'll be in time to see the pigs race and other goings-on at the Delaware State Fair. You won't find this at Delaware Park.

Can you bet on them?

so far, generally speaking, the new scene on the East Coast seems to be fair games such as 3-2 BJ with stand on 17, but you may run into higher minimums and other undesirable-for-some-of-us factors which, cross your fingers, may evolve into a better situation. The problem with it changing now seems to be lack of dealers! Why have a $5 Craps Table, etc, when you have a line of players waiting to play?

Harrington is certainly outshining Charles Town WV at the moment, pig races and all.

I don't know about the wagering possibilities on the pig races; there might be some side bets going on at this event:

Do you think this is simulcast at Delaware Park?

I don't think so but it would be hilarious
