Horseshoe Hammond in Indiana?
I know a number of people on here like playing Pai Gow. The casino has 3 pai gow tables in the Le Cheng Casino along with a big baccarat table that is often open with 25 minimum.
I've never played poker there.
Quote: scottndindyI have always found the Hammond Casino to be a great place to play. It is a large casino and you should have no problem finding a table to play on. They have a number of craps tables and I have always seen multiple open with players on them. They offer 100x odds and huge limits.

Pai Gow Poker ($20 minimum) is really nice there in the Asian gaming room. The dealers and floor people are very pleasant. I've rarely seen craps at less than $10 minimum. The buffet is the best I've had at any Midwest (WI, IL, IN, IA) casino. The Majestic Star a few miles away always has a $5 craps table and $10 Pai Gow Poker, but the food there is terrible.
Worst back-to-back losses in Craps in a LONG time!
I agree! You got a comp, of course?Quote: FinsRuleNoodle Bar is pretty good after you play pai gow for a little bit.

I think you have your Indiana Horseshoes mixed up.
Indiana? Ohio? I don't know... if its damp in the area don't go there. Its some horseshoe casino that closed temporarily due to flooding.Quote: FinsRuleI think you have your Indiana Horseshoes mixed up.
This boat has a floating adjustable walkway between the mainland and the casino. boarding is possible on any of the 4 floors, and the ramp angle can be adjusted. I wonder how that looks today.
Several years ago I visited the old Argosy in Sioux City, IA. It looked like this, with the employee entrance ramp under water and the guest ramp so steep it had to have a board ladder laid into it so people could climb the slope:
Edited to show the pic of HSI's flooding. Which was, you know, kind of the whole point...
Quote: rdw4potusOh wow. that's some VERY high water. Usually they close when the road is flooded. That happens once every few years, depending on what the CoE does with the river. This time, the water is all the way back/up to the hotel and at the level of the first floor of the building (borderline getting inside). That's many feet over the level of the roadway, which is itself a good distance over the usual water level.

In some.parallel life, I never left Sioux City after high school. Probably got pregnant by a particular unnamed guy before graduation. Dealt.the night shift at the Argosy after hubby got home and could take care of the kids. Cashier at the HyVee part-time for extra money.
Shudder.
Yep, the picture is Horseshoe Southern Indiana. Belterra Casino is also closed, not sure about the others on the River.Quote: FinsRuleI think you have your Indiana Horseshoes mixed up.
