Instead of just regurgitating the
facts about each casino, I am going to list a portion of my
notes on each
casino I visit, and try to keep it as current as possible.
Several years ago I read The Mad Professor's Shooting Bible,
Part 1 where he spoke about keeping casino session notes
(you can read all about it
here). Since I read that I have been keeping
casino/session notes and what I report in the tables below is
from my most recent notes.

Bally's
Good for craps
One table has
5X odds and is usually $25 minimum
Remainder of
the tables are 2X odds

friendly
Tables seem a
tad bit high - vertically challenged shooters may be
uncomfortable

Borgata

Very bouncy - don't loft
dice too high or they'll be in
the aisles
