Re: Crappy Experience at Ameristar St. Louis Last Night
How To Have A Crappy Time At Ameristar
1) Wait until the busiest part of the week, like Friday or Saturday night. If you are going some other time, make sure it is after dinner when the casino is having some special event. 2) Sign up for the lowest limit game they spread. You should expect the casino to drop what ever else it is doing, and cater to you and your other $100 bankroll buddies. 3) Since you know nothing about casino procedures, expect a dealer to plop right down to a new table and start slinging cards. Don't worry about set-up, counting down the rack, or any of that other mumble-jumble. It is just a waste of time designed to annoy you. 4) If the dealer makes small talk with some of the players while waiting for floor approval to start, feel put out. I mean, you don't know who or what he is talking about, and he is not paying any attention to you personally.

This is the 2nd post in a row I've read by you where you come off as a huge [censored].

[/ QUOTE ] Again, I will make one attempt to spell it out to you. Move your lips if you need to while you read it. If someone sits down at the table with $100 in their pocket, no matter what the casino does with rake, max rake, time charge, tip the dealer when you feel like it, whatever method or rate they want to use -- THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM THEY CAN MAKE OFF THAT PLAYER IS **insert drum roll here** one hundred dollars . A large bankrolled player typically sitting at a higher stakes game will probably pay many times that $100 in rake before he gets up and leaves.

Re: Crappy Experience at Ameristar St. Louis Last Night
I've played at Ameristar at least a dozen times when I was still in school and they are very very very slow.
The best thing to do, as we did, was call when we left Champaign, IL on a Friday evening, by the time we got there (2.5 hrs later) we were first on the NL list. Seriously though, this is a place that takes names over the phone (at least they did when I used to frequent) so use that to your advantage. p.s. Harrah's is a much nicer room
