Detroit area casino reviews
Quote: IbeatyouracesA friend of mine went last week and got the third degree coming and going. On top of that, why contribute to helping Caesars get out of debt?
Why drive all the way to Toledo , over the bridge with potholes large enough to drop you into the Rouge River

The deal has now been approved by the workers. Look for things to deteriorate for players.

Cross to THE OTHER SIDE if you want to see bad...... cut cut cut is all they know. Very low moral around the place which patrons can notice. Place used to be spotless...never anything on the carpet....now as you walk your eyes constantly focus downward as they catch objects in your view
But they did open a NEW NIGHT CLUB where the old high rollers room was.... of course that is leased out to the night club owners who cover all expenses...included the $700,000 or so into the club.

33cents on the dollar I believe it was the other day....seemed kind of low as the bank was charging just under 40 cents on the dollar to buy US greenbacks

That's why I hate those plays- they are never ending and the ev isn't truly realized until you hit it
Have you been playing it straight through ?

I didn't play it at all. Someone hit it later that night or early the morning as when the next time I looked it was at $1013 and change.
Was trying to be discreet with the camera, so sorry for the sorta bad picture.
Quote: ams288I see on Facebook that someone won the $253,000 Pai Gow progressive at MGM Grand Detroit.

Hopefully they utilized the valet.
I wouldn't wanna walk into that parking garage after everyone watched me win that much money...
It was too tough to get close up pictures. It was very busy.

I want to make a joke real bad, but I'll be nice 0:-)
Panic in Detroit, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Detroit
Putting on some clothes I made my way to school
And I found my teacher
Crouching in his overalls
I screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine
And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights
Having scored a trillion dollars
Made a run back home
Quote: IbeatyouracesBrawl outside of Greektown tonight. I was there this afternoon for some grub. I missed all the fun.

Four of them still on the run. Possible reward.
For every day you don't turn yourself in, your jail sentence increases by 5 years if found guilty.
Latest:
A third suspect in the early Sunday Greektown brawl that left a Detroit man hospitalized has been charged, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office announced Thursday.
Eddie Curry, 31, of Inkster, joins Stanley Faulk, 27, and Keith Harvey, 26, in facing charges of unarmed robbery, assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm, and felonious assault. Harvey is also charged with possession of cocaine, which authorities say was found during his arrest.
Curry's bond was set at $5 million.
A fourth suspect was also arrested in the case, police said Wednesday, but no charges have yet been announced.
Police are still seeking four others in connection with the brawl.
Investigators identified the four others they are seeking: Darnell Shaw, 19; Myron Larkins, 20; Rachann Yarbrough, 21; and Tyrone Larkins, 24

Still seems like a good idea to me:

The only thing wrong with that title, is it's not a Detroit stadium nor is it close. I pinned it in this screen shot. Detroit starts south of M-102 at the bottom which is 8 mile.
Pontiac is like Detroit's little brother though. Looks the same.

At the time of posting this, there are a total of 9 players scattered around playing bj (all 3:2). Keep making this game worse and they'll stop playing!
Quote: IbeatyouracesGreektown now has four 6:5 4 deck CSM's three of which have the Trilux side bet which pays 8 to 1 on straights, flushes, straight flushes, and three of a kinds. I'm guessing that your initial two cards and the dealers up card are what matters.

i play poker in there often, find me and say hi. wil be there from 10pm to 5am saturday night.
i lost big tonight, so on the way out i went by to see the BJ offerings, having just returned from vegas the last 3 months. seems i found a $15 shoe game, offering 3-2 and NOT a csm, but a normal shoe. unsure if it were 6 decks or 8.
i was glad it wasnt $25, since my roll is less than $20,000. u need to spread from 1-30 units at a bare minimum to have an edge
something is weird, please check this out for me, it seemed they dealt to the bottom of the deck? well not quite, but over 95%. this couldnt be right, or theyd lose big money doing this. surely they dont deceive us by leaving some of the deck in the shuffler?

They did some rearrangements in the pits and got rid of the couple of 6:5 games. There are a few more scattered shoe games now and are all 6 decks. The CSM tables are still 4 decks. I saw one dealer just two nights so cut off only half a deck for some guy on a $100 min game, which he probably requsted. I've seen the shoes at $10 or $15 a few times, but are usually $25
Quote: IbeatyouracesOk, I just did a run through of the blackjack games at GT. All are CSM except 7 tables set up for 6 deck shoes. The 3 that were open were cutting off 3/4 deck (dealing 5.25/6). Two are $10 and the other $25. I did find the 6:5 tables. There are 4 of them, all CSM's, and are next to the craps tables right across from the security podium. Obviously avoid these.
well they were $15 and $25 last night, no $10 which is 3-2 and a regular shoe instead of CSM or id played it. to avoid too many people, id need to play from like 3am to 8am. we could make a lot of money if i sat and counted the cards, then signaled u when to come in, that way they wouldnt know u knew the count. i wont be there tonight, but will tomorrow

Thanks for the offer, but I have no intentions on playing there.
And as I said, the only 6:5 tables are the 4 CSM's across from the security podium next to the craps tables in between them and Synergy.
The dealer kept complaining to me how they recently changed their policy about changing out the cards. It used to be every 4 hours, now it's every 8 hours. He said, "These cards are old. Just watch. Pretty soon we're gonna get red lights every other hand."
He was right. He kept having to call the pit boss over each time the machine gave a red light. He kept telling her we needed new cards, but god forbid if she was going to do that.
I'm assuming this new rule is to save money. But how much does a pack of cards cost? Fifty cents or less? And Greektown's cards seem a lot cheaper than most casinos... I'm wondering how much money they are losing based on how many hands aren't getting played while they wait for the pit boss to come over and constantly deal with the red lights...

They use Gemacos. I don't know the cost, but you should've seen the problems Motorcity had with Paulsons in their shufflers. All it takes is a slight warp in the cards for them to jam up the shuffler.

I'm platinum but never ate in there. They may think it was contained to just that area, but I'm doubtful of that.
