- When I said Excalibullshit I was referring to the sickeningly poor attempt
- to capture a midieval (SP?) theme. Seems like the only casinos that will be
- in business will be themeparks. About twenty years ago where the "world
- largest souvenir shop" stands (on the strip) now was a casino with topless
- female bj dealers. Now that's a theme that screams LAS VEGAS.
- As far as SD conditions at the Ex; I've seen two hands of four far more
- than three hands of four, and I too have been shuffled up against when going
- from two hands of $5-10 to one hand of $50. IMHO if you can't play SD with
- a minimum spread of 1-6 and decent penetration (75%+) you won't live long
- enough to make your play profitable.
