I'm told the Horseshoe still has 100x craps and a liberal comp policy as long as you ask for comps.

I was there a couple of weekends ago, though I will not be there while you are there. So Good Luck while you are out there!

Check my blog for reviews of each casino; however, the best deals in Tunica for craps and Bj are:

BJ: Single Deck- Horseshoe or Harrahs- 3:2, No DAS, RSA, DA2, 50% penetration for about a .10% house edge (mins are always $25)
Double Deck- Horseshoe- 3:2, DAS, RSA, DA2, 75% penetration; Harrah's, Hollywood, Gold Strike and Fitz same rules, less pen. (mins are usually $25 at Horseshoe, Harrah's, Gold Strike, $10 at Fitz).
Multi-Deck- Same as double deck at all but Resorts, Bally's and Sam's Town. All can be found for $5 mins, sometimes $3 or less.

Craps: Horseshoe has 100x odds, most others have 20x odds. Mins are $5 at Horseshoe ($10 at peak), Resorts, Bally's and sometimes Roadhouse has $3 or $2 craps.

Where are you staying? What else would you like to know?

I'll be staying at Harrahs casino. Wow $3 craps seem hard to come by I'll have to go over to Bally's and check it out. Yea by reading about Mississippi Stud it appears that your money could go up or down in a hurry. Any other good games in Tunica you would recommend?

For cheap play, there is a not so great Double Deck game at Resorts, with same rules except no RSA. However, the table mins are always $5 for a pitch game. Even Bally's seems to have $10 games most of the time.

Tunica has gotten away from novelty games (like ones you can ONLY play in Tunica). If you like crapless, nearly every casino (less Resorts) has at one table of it (though mins are surprisingly higher). It's a higher house edge than Craps though, so beware.

If you like Three Card Poker, Sam's Town has their REGULAR TCP (no progressive) with the old 4-1 Flush Paytable on the Pairs Plus bet. The dealer will ask why you are playing that game, and it may be a higher minimum, but the house edge is significantly lower on that bet.

Wherever you play, make sure you ask for a food comp if you play for more than an hour. They will nearly always write one (and Horseshoe they will probably ask you if you want one). It may be to the buffet, but it's still a free meal!

Pai Gow Poker is ONLY available at Harrah's and Horseshoe. Horseshoe has it in its Asian themed room, while Harrah's is in the middle of the back pit. Mins are usually $10, though $5 is common on the weekdays. If you're playing a minimum amount on the bonus, you could play this game for hours on $100.
