New Orleans and Biloxi

I just got back from a 2 night 3 day trip to N.O. and Biloxi.

The first thing I noticed is that they seem to be really glad you're there, unlike AC where you are a nameless face in the crowd.

I completed my 6 stop destination tour with this trip.

I also noticed there are favorable rule advantages for the player in Miss over AC and Vegas. First and foremost, the Harrahs casinos there pay 3:2 for blackjacks; no Vegas 6:5 nonsense.

In Texas Holdem Bonus in Miss, you win the ante bet with a straight unlike Vegas and AC where you need a flush or better. This happens more often than you think.

In addition, if you have AA as your first 2 cards, and the dealer pull AA it pays 1000-1. Vegas and AC do not have the 1000-1 bonus. I would not hold my breath waiting for it.

The blackjack games has a unique twist that combines the element of three card poker. For a 5 dollar bonus minimum bet, if you make 3 of a kind, a straight or a flush on with your two BJ cards and one of the 2 dealer cards it pays 9-1.

I saw people hit this over and over again.

The craps in Biloxi is 5 min 10X odds, while in NO it is 10 min 100x odds. I can't figure that one out.

All in all, I went alone on this trip and had a great time.

I made a small profit from the games, but still can't gwt over the feeling that they were really glad I was there.

Hey Mike,
I've never been to these Southern casinos -- but after all the evil weather they've endured, and the pictures of demolished ocean-front casinos I've seen on TV, I am sure they are very glad to be back up runnng, and very happy to have you! Great report. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on completing your 6 destinations. We just did ours.

Glad you had such a great time with great service. We were very pleased with the service at the props which we visited as well. We are VP players and very surprised at how many great machines they had at both St Louis & Horseshoe Indiana.
