HE and EoR: Same result in the end but...

Personally I'd like to know the average cost of playing the game and how much might I have to risk given the table minimums for the two games are the same. There is also the slight factor of how risky (variance) the game is and whether I'm likely to drip chips but have the occasional good win (like poker based games) or just go up and down like Blackjack, Roulette or Craps if not pressing your bets.
Another factor is how often your money bets: so placing $6 on 6 or 8 (at 7/6) is marginally better than $5 on pass (or don't pass if you prefer) for making your money last longer (as the place bet doesn't work on come out rolls). Also, as the last post suggests, is how many hands/spins/rolls the table has per hour.

Dealer Tipping Side Bets

Quote: DogHandSlightly off topic, but here goes:

When a particular casino (that I shan't name) brought in Mississippi Stud, they allowed bets for the dealer at any time before the dealer revealed the last of the community cards. Thus, the players were frequently in a position to know that the hand was a winner before opting to bet "for the boys".

I am not much of a tipper, but even I would bet $5 for the dealer when I was in such a position with two pair or trips. Once, when I was holding 3-3 with a board showing 9-3, my $5 turned into $205 for the dealer when she flipped the fourth 3.

Do you mean that if you started out with a dealer bet on ante before the cards are dealt, you could back it up with the appropriate 1-3x on each street? Or are you saying they basically let you "past post" the dealer bet after getting your cards?

EDIT: I think I understand you now. You were allowed to bet for the dealer on the street bets without necessarily having a dealer bet on the ante. Is that right?

I've heard about a dealer in Oklahoma getting a $50 ante dealer bet, player got a big pocket pair and jammed it the whole way for both of them, and it turned into quads for a $20,000 payout to the dealer. She kept her own too.

Equal Hands Poker

Thanks for the responses. I thought of the game conceptually because I always felt it peculiar that with an equal numbers of each numbered cards in a deck, cards are ranked, which has no relation to their distribution or probability of being dealt.

For a split second I was interested until I remembered that they stopped allowing freeplay to used on video poker last year.

Slots only.
link to original post The interesting thing to me is states other than Nevada don't get the automatic support from the Attorney General to go after unpaid markers as bounced checks. As a result I have noticed more resistance to the idea of allowing markers [I could be incorrect in some of this, and some is just my observation/speculation].

Has something changed in Maryland that the casinos feel more comfy with markers?

In a place like that, likely there is a service they contract with to provide markers and that service would have the same business model as a payday loan company.

I saw him and a few other people enter the surveillance room IRL. I was at the casino that day.
