The Peppermill is one of the nicest casinos in Reno. Their blackjack and craps games have $5 minimums. Actually, most table games are $5 minimums. Unfortunately, the craps game max odds are 3x, 4x, 5x. This is a craps game that I played at Peppermill Casino. Played Boomtown Monday afternoon. Expected $5 minimum craps table. The table minimums were $10 for the traditional table. Boomtown also had the same Digital Craps table with a $5 minimum. It appears to me the $5 minimum craps table are being replaced with the digital and the tradition craps tables are going to be $10 minimums.

Introduction
After some time in Atlantic City at Resorts and Trump Taj Mahal, it was back to my home turf in New England with visits to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. The pair of southern Connecticut rivals are located 10 miles apart, with competition more fierce than ever for business from their regular patrons.
Foxwoods Resort Casino (350 Trolley Line Blvd. Mashantucket, CT)
Foxwoods has been North America's largest casino for over a decade now, with its main gaming pits consisting of Grand Pequot, Great Cedar, Fox Tower, and Rainmaker. The Grand Pequot also features the high-limit Club Newport International room tucked away to its side, while the 25th floor's Stargazer looms above for the venue's most premium players.
Blackjack games consist of eight-deck shoes through the main floor of all pits, with 75-85 percent penetration. The dealers hit soft 17 on these tables, with minimums generally ranging $10-25. Several $1 tables are offered at times in the Fox Tower, but they are 'fee based,' with a charge of 25 cents per hand if your wager is less than $10.
High-limit areas like Club Newport, Stargazer, and one group of the Fox Tower's tables, feature six-deck games with the dealers standing on soft 17's. Penetration generally is a one-deck cut from the half dozen (80-85 percent), with no mid-shoe entry permitted. Surrender is offered on all main and high-limit tables.
The deep penetration makes the blackjack games at Foxwoods some of the best you will find in the northeast; however, along with that comes the realm of game protection. During 2015, I was asked to no longer wager above the table minimum after many years of mixed results in Mashantucket. I had just finished enjoying a private patio lunch to start Memorial Day Weekend, watching Nik Wallenda open the property's new outlet stores with an intense tightrope walk. After that, I started playing blackjack in the Club Newport room and was the one who 'fell flat' with the pit's news.
Since those days, I have moved on to other games like craps, baccarat, and Pai Gow Poker. I also maintained all of my rewards points and player status, enjoying events and promotions when they came along. This past April, I received an offer for a free MacBook Pro computer if I earned 1000 points through the specific weekend. Although 18 hours of Pai Gow Poker may not seem exciting to many, I ground it out and finished with 1045 points to send me over the top. I was also surprised with a comped corner suite for that trip, which surely helped soften wounds from the prior year.
During the month following that endeavor, I had mainly focused on craps. Foxwoods presently offers 10x odds, giving shooters a chance at some of the lowest house edge possible. The tables through various pits have different degrees of bounciness to them, and some may agree with your style more than others. My favorite has been the one in Club Newport with its old-fashioned green felt, and shooters rolling for high stakes. I recently tailed one gentleman who used a '3V' (dice control) set (3-3, 1-5, 4-4, and 6-2) that made the table happy, with a hot roll of 6's and 8's coming through.
In May, I visited Foxwoods for the Kentucky Derby and its traditional buffet spread in the Grand Pequot ballroom. Although my bets on 'Exaggerator' went down to 'Nyquist,' who held on to win, I enjoyed mint juleps and was even featured by Foxwoods on Twitter. Later that night, I lost a few ‘pumpkins' at Pai Gow Poker but enjoyed getting a free round of Johnnie Walker Blue for the ladies at my table to celebrate Mother's Day.
I eventually moved over to craps in Club Newport and had a long night of chasing that ultimately paid off. My use of the 'Hardway Set' (2-2, 3-3, 4-4, and 5-5) helped me hold my own, while mixing in place bets on the 6 or 8. I also leveraged the 'Five Count' on myself and others to get come bets added that had their share of payouts.
The table had several shifts of great crews, with very little heat for not hitting the wall at times when tossing the dice. As a new craps player, my dice can especially go all over the place. Once in a great while, I have even had a 'kill shot' happen with the ‘bones' stopping way short without a bounce. Sometimes I think the late, great, Bill 'Ace-10' Burton's spirit is looming through the Connecticut woods and making the dice fall right on the point.
Sunday morning I was still at the same table and got paid a surprise visit by dice-control legend Bob 'Mr. Finesse' Convertito, who was visiting Foxwoods for the first time in several years. While Bob looked on, I sevened out during a long roll of trying to make a point of '4,' but did cash a couple of come bets. Bob and his friends fared well over at the Great Cedar pit's craps table, but my all-nighter left me a little too spaced out to tag along.
Overall, Foxwoods still features one of the region's best gaming experiences with the kinds of offerings it has across the board. As long as your bets are not high enough to set off the 'smoke detectors,' you will find a friendly staff and some of your best chances to come out ahead. The rewards points can also add up nicely, with lots of ways to treat yourself after some long days at the tables.
Mohegan Sun Casino (1 Mohegan Sun Blvd., Uncasville, CT)
Mohegan Sun has not had a lot of changes since my visits last summer, with blackjack conditions relatively the same. Nearly all tables still feature favorable rules that include the dealer standing on soft 17's and surrender available, while penetration remains tight at the 65-70 percent range. The 'Triple Status' days remain your best opportunity to get the most of the property's comp structure, and are worth a shot if you have the time.

Stadium Table Game Vouchers:
Stadium vouchers are specific to each property. Stadium vouchers are not for use in VLT’s at either property. Slot vouchers are not for use in Stadium Game terminals. Stadium vouchers may be redeemed only in the property they were issued.
Blackjack
In Blackjack, the aim of the game is for the total value of your cards to be closer to 21 than the dealer’s cards, without going over 21. Number cards are worth their face value, face cards are worth 10 and aces are worth either 1 or 11.
Roulette
American Roulette is a casino game where players spin a wheel and predict the number/color where the ball will come to rest. There are Inside Bets where one bets on the inner part of the table and Outside Bets where one bets on the outside parts of the table. Each table has a minimum and maximum wager limit and players can bet any money within these limits.
Craps
The ‘Come out Roll’ refers to the opening roll in a round of craps. The point is established only if the dice totals 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10. A come out roll worth 2, 3, 7, 11 or 12 terminates the round immediately. Once the point has been determined, an ‘ON’ puck will be positioned on the point. The dice will then continue to be rolled until a player either matches the point or rolls a 7.
Baccarat
The aim of Baccarat is to assemble a hand with a point value totaling as near to 9 as possible. Aces are worth 1, 10′s and picture cards are worth 0 whilst all cards from 2-9 retain their face value. If the value of the hand amounts to a two-digit total, disregard the first digit. The last digit represents the baccarat point value.
Three Card Poker
Three Card Poker is a game where you can make multiple bets on your hand. Ante, Pair Plus and the new 6 Card Bonus. The Ante Wager plays against the Dealer’s hand. The Pair Plus is optional and wins with a Pair or Better. The 6 Card Bonus uses the Dealer’s Cards and your cards to make the best 5 card hand and wins with three of a kind or better and pays 1000 to 1 for a Royal Flush!
Spanish 21
Spanish 21 is a fast-paced variation of blackjack that has become increasingly popular. The game is played on a standard blackjack table. The main difference between Spanish 21 compared to blackjack is the removal of all 10′s in the decks. Jacks, Queens, and Kings remain, but all natural 10′s are removed from every deck used at the table.
Let It Ride
Let It Ride™ is a five-card poker game. Players compete against a pay table, not against the dealers or other players. The game has three parts: Basic game: Players win with a pair of 10′s or better. $1 Bonus game: Winning hands vary. 3 Card Bonus: Players win with a pair or better (Players three cards only).
Pai Gow Poker
Pai Gow Poker is played with a standard 52-card deck plus one joker. After making a bet, each player is dealt seven cards and must make two poker hands: A standard five-card poker hand and a two-card poker hand. The five-card hand is often called “behind”, or the “bottom,” “high,” or “big” hand, while the two-card hand is called “in front”, “on top”, or the “small,” “minor,” or “low” hand.
