Casino

[mot neil]

Can any one tell me, what table games that they have in the Casino on the Westerdam ??? B.J. Let it Ride...Carib. Poker...Three card Poker ?????

Another question that I have is....At the B.J. tables do they have the dreaded Auto/shuffle machine..

Thanks...Mot Neil

These games can come and go, but here is my memory from the Westerdam regarding table games:

Decent low stakes BJ, yes, with shuffle machine on one HAL ship but shoe on the other. 2-1 BJ. I am just back from a Regent cruise which had 3-2 payoff for blackjack (ptui!). Also on the Westerdam, C-Stud, with a meter never much above 10K. And remember, if you win >$1200 you will fill out a W-2G for the USA IRS, no matter where the ship is at the time. Also on both HAL ships, one night featured a table or two of double-exposure blackjack. Both dealer cards face up. Google for the rules and strategy. Most shipboard low-stakes BJ players have little clue.

If you are a high stakes player, a little known plan does provide some perks. Talk to the pit boss early if you are making those black chip bets.

Balliett..

Thanks for your info.......Because of the type of players on board the ships, i ussually ask the pit boss to give me a table at least green....In fact I found that a Fifteen $$ table keeps the bad players away...However: in all of my years of Playing I have found that high $$$ tables do not make "good players" So for that reason, I don't play that much unless I can get a table to myself and if not, I watch my Wife play ( let it ride,,,3 card or c/poker )

We live appr 60 miles from A/C, so I can get my belly fill any time that I want....

Thanks again......Mot Neil
