Bally's AC Floor: Live Straddles prohibited by NJ Gaming Commission???

They wouldn't let me live straddle at Turning Stone last time I was there either. Suck.

In blackjack, I was referring to the players cards. Face down "pitch" games such as were once common in Nevada were never legal in AC. The Golden Nugget got fined something like 20K for dealing one by special request and that led to Steve Wynn leaving AC to build the Mirage.

I have played blackjack at the Taj and they dealt face down in the single deck game.

I don't know exactly who prohibits it, but you can't live straddle in AC, you can blind raise, which means you can't make it 3 bets when it gets back to you.

AC has lots of wierd rules, that's one of them

I think the live straddle is the weird rule.

If there is any CCC prohibition on live straddles, it's news to me. I posted a live straddle several times in a 2/4 game at the Sands a few months ago. No issue was raised by the other players or dealer
