New Hollywood casino opened week ago. This is the old Argosy owned by Penn Gaming.
First Impressions? WOW!!!!!
Lots and lots of people in this place... what recession? Lots of table games, lots of BJ variations. 21+1, Switch, Hie tie, Lucky ladies, spanish. Of course none of us play the "bonus" bets, just the natural 21 game, which all of these are, cept spanish.
There is a mix of CSMs and Shoes. High limit games all seem to be shoes, including a double deck pitch game. Forgive me I forgot to check the rules on this game. They used to be pretty awful, unbeatable. The Grand Victoria does have a very nice 2deck game.
The hit soft 17 is still in effect all bj pays 3:2. double any 2 cards, resplit to 4 hands, cept Aces, no surrender.
It does seem the higher the minimum bet the more frequent the shoe becomes ie... 10$ min= csm 15= shoe.
All in all it seems a very nice casino. Certalnly the best of any in the area. |
