Added date (10/6/2006).
Changed frequency (1 to 3).
Changed duration (2 to 3).
Changed phone number (800-539-2346 to 800-539-2346 ext. 24071).
Added details (First day is registration in the evening and a small
buffet - not intended as a full dinner but you can eat
enough to be satisfied. Play begins the second day and
concludes on the third day.
This is a great deal. Entry includes 3 nights at the hotel
(maybe motel), 2 buffet dinners, 2 breakfast buffets, Slot
Tokens (worth about $10 cash each day in special slot
machines), and $45 in cash if you show up at the casino on
the 3rd day.
If you want entry into only the tourney (no room, no food,
no freebies) then fee is only $175.
If two sign up together and share room the total cost is
only $450 which includes food and freebies for each.
Played from a 4 deck shoe. Surrender offered only if
dealer shows ace. BJ pays 2:1.
Total of 42 hands per round with a chip count after hand
35 is played.
The only other quirk about this game is that they offer
DSA. Otherwise it is standard shoe rules. S17, DA2, Sp4.
This makes for a great weekend get-away with small shops
and vacation atmosphire in town. If your room faces the
lake, get up early, grab a cup of coffee, and take in the
spectacular sunrise - then it's OK to go back to sleep.).
Added prize details (I have conflicting information as to the prize package. It
may be $30,000 instead of $35,000. If it is $30,000, entry
fees will be $25 less.).
