Ok, I'll let you in on my home casino's game. Not that I want the competition, but they could use some more traffic so that they can get more tourneys going and I can have more chances at some fun/money.
Santa Ysabel Resort and Casino (where there is NO resort yet)
It's in the middle of nothing, and at least an hour from something resembling a real highway. So make sure to fill your gas tanke before heading out.
Website is a little slow to load, forgive them. It's better than it was. Really.
Sunday's it's a 1pm start. 6d shoe. $35 buy-in max 24 players, 6 to a table. They've been known to squeeze a 7th on a table on occassion to the consternation of the regulars who will grumble very loudly with smiles. No Re-Buys at this time. No surrender. Insurance 2:1. Blackjacks 2:1 for easy math as the chips used are green/black/purple/yellow.
Random seat-card selection: first up - first select from face downs. trading sometimes happens so couples split up. Very relaxed atmosphere up here as the Pit Manager and crew wants people to keep coming back as long as they aren't drunken ***holes. Very few have been bounced/banned to my knowledge.
This game has a Mulligan Chip in each round. You may kill any one card in your hand at any time. You get the NEXT card in the shoe. If you only had your first to and had A-3, mulligan the 3 and get a T....you are paid 2:1 Blackjack. If you have busted with a 8-4-T and mulligan the T and pull a 9, you then beat the dealer...you are paid for a winning hand. Don't use the Mulligan Chip by the end of the round? It's swapped for an Opportunity $5 play on table games.
R1 is 15 hands, $3k in starter chips, mulligan chip, $100 min for 10 hands then $200 for final. All-in whenever you want. Split to 4h, A to 2. DD on first 2 only. Button moves each hand, skipping the empties. Chip count before last three hands. Depending #of tables, 3 or 4 advance to either Final (2 tables) or SemiR (4 if 3tables and 3 if 4 tables).
Semis plays just like R1. Fresh stack of $3k. New mulligan. 3 advance to Final table.
Final Round. Another fresh stack of $3k. New mulligan. This time min. $200 for 10h and $400 for final 5h. Chip count on last three as before.
Payout goes to top three: $500/$200/$100. They do take down 1099 info, just incase you collect enough earnings to have one generated at the end of the year (oops, I'm getting one this year), but by keeping the max tables to 4, it's keeping the prize pool small as well.
