Table games are outrageous! Let it Ride $15 a stack, that's $51 a hand if you play 3-card and bonus. I can play the same game at the Rising Star boat and Mountaineer for $21. I was there a week earlier (on a Friday) and played all day at $5-10. The pit boss had the gall to accuse me of being wrong saying it was never at that rate. Both times their rack never had any red chips. They would pay people off with white and tell us to be patient. Both visits it took forever to get the rack filled. In a half hour, three dealers in row had no idea how to deal or pay the game off. Rising Star patrons never had anything positive to say about the Hollywood riverboat. Since they hosted a WPT event, folks say it went to their head, and they could care less about the "average" player. In an interview with the Dispatch, the head honcho gave the same PC comments. "Our limits are based upon business demand". What's that mean? Oh, Columbus must be a haven for high rollers, rigggghhhtt! $25-50 blackjack minimums? Give me a break. If you have to work for a living and can't afford to visit casinos more than once a month, you won't find much affordable at the Hollywood. I'll stick to the Mountaineer. Those patrons don't have a lot of positive things to say about Columbus or Cleveland casinos, and visitor comments go a long way with me. Not to beat a dead horse, but WV caters to the average player too.

On a side light, we stopped on the way out at a slot or two. In five pulls I hit for $800, then on another for 300 more. Took the grand profit and walked out, probably never to return.
