Just a quick update. We checked it out for a total of about 20 minutes. We had a concert and had to bail, but the place was easy to leave. Just a weird vibe there.
Parking was a nightmare since the attendant barely spoke English and was hard to understand, they wanted us to pay even parking even though we weren’t staying there but leaving in an hour.
The casino itself was small, compared to casinos with slots. But had a variety of games. Mostly poker, I didn’t get a chance to sit at poker since our time was very limited. We wanted to play 3 card but it was full, and the only blackjack I saw open was the No bust blackjack, which was a weird experience since I had not seen that or studied it. There was a $1 fee every hand, BJ paid 6/5, and I’m guessing g there must be deviations from basic strategy for regular BJ since the guy betting $100 next to me was upset the few hands I played. I tried to ask the dealer for some basic info on the game but again, terrible English and it honestly seemed like he didn’t know the basic strategy for it either. So after a few hands I just left.
I looked up the game after

No way I’ll be betting $100 per hand anytime soon, but after reading that at least I can sort of understand it. Idk but I just prefer standard double deck, and maybe a 3 card side bet, but all the BJ variations are just not my thing.
I snagged a $5 and $1 chip, I’ll post it tomorrow.
