I used to try to get their attention and get them to laugh, but it was obviously one way glass.
In my state, the glass was removed about six months after the lockdowns ended. Our live dealers are now unprotected, except sometimes they're allowed a small fan to repel the cigarette smoke.

The pic of the 4 acres with kicker is from on line Borgata.
Finally, someone who plays online :up: .

Please tell me that's a 9/7 :heart: pay schedule.
9/5, But don't concern myself with pay tables when playing small amounts of free paly.

Thanks. So then if I wanted to play large amounts of not free play, that would be the wrong place to do it.

I think I saw 9/7 TDB at one or more competitors, last I looked.

Play vanilla games. Accept vanilla results. Embrace solvency.

According to PlayNJ, New Jersey has 29 online casinos! I'd be like a pig in slop checking them all out.

The Borgata review doesn't mention vp pay schedules, but slot paybacks are indicated up to 96.5% (Almighty Buffalo Megaways).

If the vp is only 97% for perfect strategy, I see little incentive to play vp. And some casinos preference slots over vp for promotional qualifications.

Not exactly. I can’t attain break even solvency even on vanilla games most of the time.

I don't know how comfortable I would be playing " large amounts "on line.

I don't know the exact concerns, but comfort can develop over time. I bet large amounts at the regulated sportsbooks, and have essentially no complaints. They correctly grade winning bets, and pay out promptly.

An online casino has an additional consideration of game fairness. Initially, I might want to steer toward low volatility games where rigging would be more readily detectable. In the video poker category, that would likely be multiline Jacks or Better.

It could be argued that online should be safer. The technology is not new, and everything is logged. I think you can request your full history, within reason. Try that in a b&m. Call an attendant and say I think I was cheated three hours ago. They can only roll back the last several deals afaik.
