I guess they can't stand having a table where they can't take your money as fast and efficiently as possible. Meanwhile the gimmick games often have 1 or 2 players sitting at them. With over 100 tables available, recent visits have found only 2 tables actually dealing real blackjack and they are always crowed, very hard to penetrate, sit down and play. As the gimmick games have proliferated, the number of real blackjack tables have diminished. That won't happen but it's essentially what the 6 to 5 odds do to the player.insures that you will lose and lose quickly. Imagine if a casino agreed to take only 40% of your bet if you lose. If you're playing for the side bet, go play a slot and save some money, because you will quickly lose the major 'blackjack' bet at these tables, even if you get blackjacks. This is very important since reducing the blackjack pay off by 60% eliminates any hope a player might have had of winning by cutting one of the player's major advantages.

Blackjack is an old game and has traditionally paid 3 to 2 for blackjack. Since they opened there has been a relentless assault on tables dealing blackjack, the tables replaced by 'gimmick'- like pseudo blackjack games, all with a 'special'payoff on a side bet but most importantly paying you only 6 to 5 if you get a blackjack. The gaming has greatly suffered.I have played blackjack for more than 30 years. It replaced a very good Chinese place that they closed, and now it is, like the other food offerings, expensive and of poor quality. The recently opened Asian restaurant is the biggest disappointment. The 'American' restaurant is also very expensive for essentially Denny's style food. There is a grossly overpriced steak house as well as an 'Italian' place that really offers only expensive pizza. I haven't been in the newly opened hotel since I live so close, but the lobby is pretty. As such I have been in a good position to watch the gradual decline in quality of this place with the passage of time. I live about 10 miles from Graton and have been a rewards card holder since before they opened.
