Sonny is right on with the description of these casinos. Foxwoods usually has some very good penetration, between 1 and 1.5 decks. Although they are primarily 8 deck games. As he said they do have 6 deck but they are high limit games with no mid shoe entry. As far as the rest of the tables go, you can wong in and out at your hearts content, and there are many tables to choose from. Mohegan Sun is a little different as you have to really search for good penetration. The best you will see there will usually is 1.25 to 1.5 decks. There will be a lot of tables that have as bad as 2 to 2.5 pen, but there are so many tables you can avoid them. There are 2 different casinos at Mohegan, The casino of the earth is primarily all 6 deck, and the casino of the sky is primarily all 8 deck. And as Sonny indicated they do not allow splitting of 10's at Mohegan either, but thats not a rule that ever particularly bothered me anyway. Mohegan has $10 tables in the morning and very late at night, as the day progresses so do the table minimums. Although during the week you can always find $15 tables and a few $10 ones. During the weekend during peek hours most minimums get jacked up, the only chance to find a cheap game are at some of the 8 deck games, or if you play blackjack bonanza, where you must put up a $1 side bet up with every hand. I suggest not playing that game.

Mohegan Sun is owned by the Mohegan Tribal Nation. Foxwoods is currently the largest casino in the US and the 3rd largest in the world. It has 4 hotels and several gaming areas. As a result, both Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods must report their total slot earnings to the state each month. In December 2010, Foxwoods earned $45 million on its slot machines, an increase of 1.2. Mohegan: 6 decks, S17, surrender, unlimited spilts except A. Foxwoods: 8 decks, H17, surrender, spilt up to 4 hands, better penetration. Most people would say Foxwoods was better for counting while Mohegan was better if you're just playing basic. I've been hearing rumors that Mohegan either has changed or is about to change to 6:5. Honestly, depends on what you are looking to get out of your experience. I prefer Mohegan for the atmosphere, entertainment beyond gaming (the arena draws bigger names, Comix, and the Wolf Den has some great free shows), and regular eating.

Bill Burton is a best selling gaming author and columnist. He has been playing blackjack in casinos for 25 years. He started using the Hi/lo count and tried several others throughout the years. He attended one of the first Golden Touch Blackjack courses to learn Speed Count and now uses it exclusively because of its simplicity and ease of use. Bill shuns the high roller pits preferring to 'fly under the radar' and is more than content to walk away with small profits. In his career as a player he has never been barred using this tactic. Burton is also the Casino Gambling Guide and columnist for the Internet portal About.com located at: www.casinogambling.about.com. He is the author of '1000 Best Casino Gambling Secrets' and 'Get the Edge at Low Limit Texas Hold'em'(the latter available at 10% discount in the BJI store).

Connecticut Blackjack

Once again summer has arrived in Connecticut. The dead giveaway is not so much the soaring temperatures, as it is the soaring table limits at the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos. During the winter months you can usually find a five- dollar game early in the morning on weekdays but when the summer tourist season arrives, these games disappear faster than an Ice Cream cone in the hot afternoon sun. I visited both casinos early on a Thursday morning and only found a few $10 games but if you plan to visit at night on the weekend you probably won’t even find a game at this level. You are more likely to find $15 or $25 as the lowest denomination game.

Foxwoods

Of the two Connecticut casinos, Foxwoods is better for card counters. They offer an eight-deck game with about 75 percent penetration. In the Newport high roller casino they offer a six-deck game. Foxwood’s rules are: DOA, DAS, S17 and they are now offering late surrender. The only negative is that you can’t re-split aces.

Mohegan Sun

Blackjack games at the Mohegan Sun have gone from bad to worse. In fact, the Mohegan Sun is a wasteland for counters. They used to deal a six-deck game at all tables with two decks cut off giving you only around 66% penetration. Now, however, continuous shufflers have replaced many of their six-deck games and the rest have been switched over to eight-deck games. The rules at the Mohegan Sun are the same as Foxwoods, however, at the Mohegan Sun you are not allowed to split tens if you so desire.

The Mohegan Sun is actually two casinos: The original Earth Casino and the newer Sky Casino. One thing the Mohegan Sun casino lacks is consistency in the number of decks and their mid shoe entry rule.

You can still find a few six-deck games in the 'Spring' section of the Earth Casino and in the high roller pit near the Fall section. In the Earth casino they do allow mid shoe entry on their six-deck games. However, over in the Sky casino you will find six-deck games in the high roller pit and in the adjacent pit # 22. The six-deck games in the Sky casino have No Mid Shoe Entry even though the penetration is terrible.

Comps

Poker Foxwoods Vs Mohegan Sun

The comps at the Mohegan Sun have also been tightened more than they were before. Foxwoods is by far the more liberal of the two casinos when it comes to scoring a comp. Both casinos use the same comp system. Each point you earn is equal to $1, which can be used in the restaurants, retail stores or to pay your hotel bill. The Mohegan Sun also has a gas station and you can use your comps there as well.

As of June 1^st Foxwoods is offering same day cash back to their slot players. With the new cash back program players can redeem half of their points for cash at the rate of 50 cents per point. For example: If a slot player earns 20 points for the day, they can redeem 10 points for $5 in cash and the other 10 point remain on the players card.

Poker

Mohegan Sun Vs. Foxwoods Blackjack

The Mohegan Sun closed their poker room a few years ago and claim they have no plans to re-open it any time in the near future. Foxwoods expanded their poker room last November and now have a World Poker Tour branded room with 114 poker tables.

Video Poker

Unfortunately, Connecticut is a video poker wasteland. Foxwoods has three, old Double Jackpot machines in the old Bingo Hall. These are the only three full pay machines in the casino and I think they are there by mistake. They used to have full pay Pick’
