At least one Casino is trying something new. My hat is off to them. Dumb I agree with the odds the player must endure, however it will be the only $2.00 BJ game in town and it will pack them in even if only for a while and who knows without trying.
To me it is still better than 6-5 BJ that was first introduced in NV and then also in AC with much higher table limits. Players are still playing 6-5 BJ even if they don't like it, same old saying if it's the only game around it will have players.
