I played double deck at Cromwell on the first Saturday in June with a $15 minimum and 70-75% penetration.
Let’s not forget The Cromwell offers EZ Baccarat where the Dragon 7 side bet is countable. The 40-1 payout can be had with more 8’/9’s gone than normal and a minus Ten Count (2-9=-1 and 10-K). Would love to discuss it on GWAE if advantage play experts Bill Zender or Eliot Jacobson are not available.
Correction…2-9=+1 and 10-K=-2
Good to know. The double deck is one of the good games, but hadn’t heard of limits below $25.

When I heard Anthony’s comments about paying your taxes and generally living your life in such a way that you can sleep well at night, I was reminded of this clip from “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World”.
Is LVA Casino Poker coming back or is it just going to be a mobile thing now with slots and video poker only?
Mobile slots and video poker only for now. We’ve permanently closed the LVA Casino due to a change in ownership of the company that built it. The new group went in a different direction and couldn’t support the casino. We’re looking at some alternatives, but we don’t plan on bringing on anything new in that area in the near future.
