This weekend, while catching up on news, I saw that a few other smaller market casinos may also be on the market. “…what he probably had in mind was unloading [...]

I managed to pull myself away from my ‘full house’ of a family (or rather, they pulled away from me, as my wife took the kids to visit a friend in Lancaster), so I finally had the chance to check out the new Valley Forge Casino. It was…. Okay. It felt like Parx did when [...]

What a busy week!

After passing on the better video poker offerings at Revel last week I said that I would run a check to see what kind of blackjack payouts they were going to offer. The Main Street Haitian commented hearing on five hundy by midnight that blackjack payouts at Revel are 3:2 with dealers hitting on soft 17. [...]
