DETROIT AREA BLACKJACK REPORT

By Street Dog

The following are my observations of blackjack conditions taken in Dec. 2006.

MGM

I arrived at MGM at 5 PM on a Friday night to the usual massive crowds that swamp the Detroit area casinos in the evening and on weekends. As expected the casino was a zoo and the tables were all crowded. The following table summarizes the conditions that I observed.

See member's article for details.

The last two games in the above table are playable if you have the bankroll. I did not notice any heat but then it was a complete ploppyfest so there was no reason for heat.

There was also one 6-5 single deck game, H17, $10 - $300 limits and one Double Exposure game at $5- $300 limits. Both of these games should be avoided.

I arrived at 7 PM on Saturday to another huge crowd and ploppyfest. The casino has been renovated and signs everywhere indicate the coming conversion to Caesars Windsor. I can only anticipate the games getting even worse as the conversion into the "EVIL EMPIRE" is completed.

I arrived at 9 PM on Tuesday to yet another big evening crowd.
