UntilTheNDofTimE · 07-20-10, 06:35 AM

i dont understand why other states cant have casinos n such?

I live in Sacramento CA and we have 6+ poker rooms in Sacramento and 5 casinos within 40 miles.

I know other people who are opening up gambling establishments in other states as well. mUST SUCK TO LIVE ON THE EAST COAST WHERE U ACTUALLY HAVE TO DRIVE TO ac TO GAMBLE AS WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE.

I seriously doubt that AC is in trouble...

Another scare-monger thread from JJ...

penn tables will take away some players who go to ac

many will still prefer the ac getaway experience

AC is in HUGE trouble and this won't help.

jjgold · 07-20-10, 07:18 AM

Ac has been un trouble before this and most phila money, ny money and NJ money will be going to Penn

Ac Is a dump, not a real getaway

Funny you should mention this, the legendary BILLSFAN is headed to ERIE, PA this morning at 10amET to attack the Blackjack tables.

tanner40 · 07-20-10, 07:59 AM

They just added tables to Charles Town races & slots which will keep those from DC and Bmore from driving up to AC

unusialsusp5 · 07-20-10, 08:01 AM

expanded gambling will deplete bankrolls of people who can't afford it. banks aren't loaning money any more. horse racing will suffer. the saturation point has probably already been reached. these new places won't be overcrowded at least.

Been to AC a few times and I would have to say the word "dump" is an understatement!

And they don't give you anything to go there. A roll of quarters??

Even when Vegas use to automatically give you free rooms and food, AC makes you jump through hoops for comps.

I have been frequenting the Rivers casino in pittburgh, not a bad place but probably like many PA casinos right now it is filled with people who don't play right(blackjack) and bad dealers. For exammple, dealer hit on soft 17 and flipped a 4 when he was supposed to stay on all 17's.

gafl · 07-20-10, 08:57 AM

AC has been in trouble for awhile. Can see the Marina casinos surviving but the boardwalk ones are iffy. AC make a major mistake by not taking sports betting when they had the chance.

Fishhead · 07-20-10, 09:03 AM

I like the 40 card poker in ERIE, with the joker.

100% payback NOT COUNTING CARD

Worth about $1.23 an hour on paper plus mailings..............

If the posted rules say the dealer is supposed to stay on all 17s, then speak up and at least get a misdeal out of it. Don't just sit there and do nothing.

Chi_archie · 07-20-10, 09:35 AM

going to pa tomorrow hopefully I can get some action

cadillac pete · 07-20-10, 09:38 AM

AC has been squeezed by Delaware, PA, and Charlestown, W VA with their table games and slot parlors.....Not to mention Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. They are in serious trouble to say the least.

You might be forgetting Foxwoods in CT, you know the biggest casino in the world, they also have mohegan as well

no, you have no idea what you're talking about.

AC has to pass sportsbetting to survive

The smaller places in Penn will make money because a lot less costs than AC

AC gives me everything I want comped. I never have any problems.

Everyone in the Northeast would start flocking to AC!

clonecat · 07-20-10, 11:01 AM

Let's hope AC gets sports betting, then a few more states will quickly follow.

Correct. They have to realize they are not the only game in town for east coast residents to spend their gambling dollar. Sports betting, Las Vegas style, would be a start to righting the sinking the ship.

I was just in Atlantic City a couple of months ago...... I hadn't been there in about 8 years.

First, it is no longer the clear second gambling destination of choice. A lot more options now.
Second, I was a target of attempted panhandling a total of 9 times in three days, and they were aggressive.
Third, there are too many casinos there now, they should keep the borgata, harrahs, showboat, ceasars palace, taj mahal and tropicana open and close the rest.
Lastly, the city absolutely sucks.

In my opinion, this will be the bitter end of Atlantic City. they have had a monopoly for 50 years, and they could have turned the city into a beautiful shore destination, but like all of New Jersey politics, the money just went to corruption. It could have been Heaven on Earth. But instead, the neighborhood is as unsafe as ever, and very little money has went into urban redevelopment. It just makes no sense. So, I say let it rot. I lived in New Jersey for 10 years, and am a Rutgers grad, and Atlantic City will soon join the likes of Detroit. An abandoned town full of dangerous people.

MJFtheGenius · 07-20-10, 12:01 PM

It will take Atleast 10 years for AC to get sports betting

jjgold · 07-20-10, 12:20 PM

AC is a ghetto
Tons of bad blacks

Might be just as bad as Detroit

You will see how execs make moves now as they see their profits going to other states

pretty much spot on!

hope they won't close the Hilton though, too many comps from them!

MC PICKS · 07-20-10, 02:16 PM

AC's casino revenues have been dropping for the last 2 years. If they open sportsbooks it may save them.

DrunkHorseplayer · 07-20-10, 02:30 PM

Nothing can save AC; they're like downtown Reno with much worse gambling.

Fishhead · 07-20-10, 02:31 PM

I was just informed by BILLSFAN that ERIE does not provide free drinks for their players...........

ouman101 · 07-20-10, 02:38 PM

Can't wait for the Ohio casino's to get finished. The law passed, but it won't be until end of next year (i think) before they're finished building them.

Yes. I believe they have sports betting in Delaware now too, but you have to parlay, no straight bets. Very limited options.
