And look at that board, that I put a picture up of the players.  I believe this is what Asym is  talking about and I've seen more of this than a banker's equivalent. Yes I see runs and streaks and clumps for Banker over the Decades of playing, but as an overall majority there's more of something like this and more clumps for players and easier to follow for player because of that third card than anything else IMO.

And I've said it many times, I love the players in the first section or first two sections of the shoe and this is very easy to clean house if you're not teaming up or listening to other people on their Banker drive and how they only wager for banker. Or how they only want a banker streak and few believe players coming out. Enough said, take a look at this picture, I believe this supports what Asym says?

After what MGM Resorts is calling a strong opening weekend in Las Vegas, the company says that its ready to ramp things up with another round of hotels and casinos reopening.

I highly doubt Vegas will go totally smoke-free, might have a couple here and there that do it at their own property.

Some more in the midwest has implemented no smoking now, we have a state or two that's been totally no smoking except on tribal lands prior to C19, which tribal can do whatever they want but they have posted that they are no smoking in 90% of their casino floor space since they've reopened. As long as there's no casino next door smokers won't go anywhere else, it's been proven at other casinos and other properties. They'll just go outside, they'll get their smoke on and then they'll come back in and then continue playing.

As of yesterday June 7th, the official count on opened casinos are:

Across 26 states, 519 casinos are currently open for business, representing more than 50% of casinos nationwide, according to the AGA. Nevada reopened casinos on Thursday, including in Las Vegas.

This morning I had to run to the market to get a couple of things for later today. I decided to check out the paper goods aisle and it was officially pretty much stocked up.   I wanted to show you what it looked like. This is a little smaller market property of a larger chain brand.  They get their supply from another Supercenter Store of theirs that is much bigger than this one, and if they're out of anything everybody comes to this one to get it. Safe to say the supersized store is fully stocked,  plus if they weren't this one would be down to the bare shelf. 

I checked out the ground beef prices and the cheapest is $5.99, goes from $5.99 to $6.99 a pound when it used to be anywhere from $2.99 to $3.99, maybe $4.99 for the 93/7 blend but that is up near $8 now.  Their Fried Chicken which is usually pretty good is now two piece with two sides for $6.99 when it used to be $4.99, and their 8-piece now is $9.99 when it used to be $7.99. Just the way it is with supply and demand.

Yesterday in a few major stores, just about all the shelves are back to normal as far as inventory level except for the Lysol products once again. Of course there's lots of knock-offs  and new items in the cleaning isles, that are claiming the same thing that Lysol does if not better.

Pricing is considerably more with the majority of the everyday items, that's a done deal at this point. Which consumers drove it all up and will continue to drive it up. That's all that buying and hoarding does, is affect supply and demand with every item I've seen it is considerably more then what it used to be.

Now I noticed in most of the major stores where there are limits signs on buying certain high demand products that used to be one and two, almost all of them have moved to limit four or greater.

No more talk, no more everyday--all day media about the bare shelves, about the lack of toilet paper or ground beef or even cleaning products or anything else. They're all on to other things. No more consumer groups yelling and screaming, no more media about any any of it that I see unless you're on some obscure website or digginging down in the internet to find something about it.

Once again, congratulations people you did it to yourselves.

The following is a short recap of what I've noticed on the implemented new procedures once the casinos reopened, approximately a week and a half ago in the central Midwest. These are major casino chains with prominent and large properties.

No plexiglass barriers at table games;

Very few Plexiglas barrier slot machines and I stress very few;

Some slot machines turned off betweeneach other and other ones have signs on them saying that they're I've been disabled due to C-19 requirements;

Three or five people max at the baccarat tables depending on the property;

Three people max at the majority of the blackjack tables that I did observe walking through the casino floor;

Some casinos have the self-serve drink stations open and other casinos did not;

Cocktail waitresses had styrofoam cups at all the casinos nobody had the real glasses;

Two of the three casinos I went to had a new no-smoking policy implemented and the other one said, smoking in moderation;

Some of the players clubs were not functioning and they would not issue player cards but the pit Personnel offered to put you in the computer with your play and it would be counted towards a card, at a later date once the  players clubs reopened;

No temperature checks the way it was so hyped up about even in the midwest here;

One Casino was mandatory to sanitize hands each time you sat down or came back to the baccarat table or stepped away, the other two casinos did have hand sanitizer on top of the table, it was not mandatory to use.

Limited entrances and exits at all three of the casinos I went to, with security personnel greeting or giving everybody the once-over real quick;

At one of the casinos, you had to give your driver's license or other ID and they swiped it through their computer system. I can only assume they were checking it against some type of list of banned players and/or taking a count on who was on the property since they are limited to 50% capacity by their state governing gaming officials.

Very good thread indeed.

Remember the following?  I'll highlight part of what I wrote:

Wrote the following on the board January 17th, 2017

"As far as the Lucky Dragon, don't know much about it, just a group of investors from China got together and all invested $500k each or more for USA citizenship, etc.  They will not survive catering to the Asian crowd only from what I hear.  Although the Golden Steer Steakhouse right next door, nothing to do with the property is one of the best non-casino steak houses in Vegas!"

Then almost 1 year after i wrote the above:

"On the morning of January 4, 2018, the casino and restaurants were temporarily closed and the property announced plans to reorganize itself by hiring new firms to operate those aspects of the resort. At the time, the Lucky Dragon had more than 500 employees".
