Casinos with the least heat for CArd Counting

Believe it or not, craps is not the only game in the casino. Savvy players have a back-up plan for when their craps game is off. If Heavy isn't winning at Craps you're likely to find him playing Baccarat, Blackjack, or even Roulette. If the table games aren't working out he may even take a cigar break in the high limit slot area for a little hit-and-run action. But just like craps - you have to plan your play and play your plan. If you have a question on slots, video poker, carnival games or any table games other than craps, this is the place to post. Let's hear about the games you play when you're not playing craps! What's your game? What's your strategy? How's that working out for you? Inquiring minds want to know!

Stanford Wong's Green Chip board is the place you want to be for that sort of info. They used to publish a monthly report on all Vegas casinos ranking the best games. It's been years since I was on that board but I recall the El Cortez consistently being one of the best places in town to play. However, if you're going to play black action you should probably start out playing black. I wouldn't try ranging bets from $10 to $100. $50 maybe, but that's about my personal max on a $10 game unless you've got a good act going.

Is it even advantageous to count cards anymore with all the changes to the game? (e.g. 6 to 5 payouts, auto shufflers, dealers not going through all the cards in decks before switching, multiple decks, etc).

Seems to me by offering all the crappy rules/games, the casinos can devote resources to watching for counters at the few decent games they might offer.

Is the edge you might have, enough to make it worth your while?

I know one is the Fremont but they have low minimums, I am looking for casinos with not tripping off of blackchip betters with 10 x spread across three hands.

You'll need a quarter million bankroll minimum, to play the game you just described. The recommended bankroll of $2000.00 for every $5.00 of max bet size is not enough. I know from experience.
