Mgm Springfield $5 Blackjack
What a joke!
I finally decided to check out the new casino in PG county Maryland and first off, the casino is nice. It almost feels like you are in a Vegas casino--- until you try to play blackjack.
All the blackjack tables on the floor have continuous shuffling machines-- let me say that again-- all of the blackjack tables are like that on the floor. Sad part was that they were all packed and some minimums as high as $50!!!
The high limit room has hand shuffled decks with a couple of $100 and the rest $200 tables. Those tables, all 6 of them were packed and i couldn't play, but it was 6D, S17. The pit manager I talked to told me that the other half of the high limit room will be continuous shuffling machines also. She even said it was a joke that management was doing that.
For those outside of Maryland, PG county or Prince George's county isn't the best place to be so it does bring in a healthy dose of degenerate gamblers which explains why the blackjack tables were packed.
After, I left the HL room, I played Let It Ride-- just to play a game. Wow-- bad mistake. Bonus bet was $5 and you have to play the 3-card option at the table minimum just to play the bonus bet. What a rip!!! I still played a few hands and only won because the dealer mis-paid me $400 on a 3-card straight-- shhh don't tell MGM. I don't think they care considering they are going to make boat loads of cash on blackjack alone.
Outside of that--the distance to DC is nice since they do have some nice restaurants and lounges there-- but be prepared to pay for it.
I plan to go back in the early AM and check out the HL room and play some blackjack-- i'll update my thread if I spot anything that is advantageous.

It offers $5 6:5 blackjack and double zero roulette. The pit at the top of the stairs is now slots. The 6:5 video blackjack machine was moved to Slots A Fun. Flamingo removed a pit to expand electronic table games. That video pit includes 6:5 blackjack, craps and double zero roulette. The minimum bet for each is $5. The minimum bets are only $5 or $25, so if you’re a blackjack beginner and want a little practice before moving on to higher stakes, check out the Mirage. With a beginner-friendly casino, the Mirage is also a great place to stay on your trip to Las Vegas.
