Foxwoods has low table minimum ($10) and 3/2 blackjack. You have to be a sucker to play the $10 table at Mohegan Sun or the 6/5 games at MGM Springfield. Even if you just play $10 a hand, on average 1 in 21 hands is a natural, so $3 extra for each twenty-one hands. It was reported on another forum that Foxwoods in CT had eliminated 6-5 Blackjack in September but I had to go and see for myself today. Everything is now 3-2. There's a mix of $10, $15, and $25 tables in the four sections. There's even a $1 minimum table at 3-2 but it's a CSM. All 29 tables in the Fox Tower Casino will be 6:5. Crews were busy this morning stripping the 3:2 felts off 8 tables in one pit. The 6:5 tables were open, including a handicap table. The Pequot and Great Cedar Casinos are still 3:2. A good game can be had in the Newport Room with 6 decks S17 for $50 min on weekdays. Good luck trying to spread. Foxwoods Resort Casino: Had a great time.

Fortunately, there is an alternative. You can play in the Newport room at Foxwoods or the high stakes pit in the MGM Grand at a 6 deck game. I've observed the penetration in the Newport room to be at least 75%. The table minimums are $50 so it's not for everyone and I'm not sure if they stay that low on the weekends.
I believe all the games can be beaten with the proper spread, Wonging, and indices but if you are a green chipper Foxwoods is worth looking at. The only difference in rules that I can think of is in pair splitting. At Foxwoods it's up to 4 hands and at MS it's unlimited. Unlike Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods allows splitting 10's, but be careful it could get you unwanted attention.
I have it on good authority that MS has reduced comp points for BJ again. I'm not posting the new percentages but if someone wants to know, I'll share what I heard. It's not great.
Foxwoods had a promo that would exchange one comp point for $1.00 cash up to $1000.00 on Saturday's through October 30th, but it has been postponed according to their website.
Every foxwoods backoff I've ever heard of has involved play in the high limit rooms.
Two summers ago I was flat bet one hand only at a $15 table. Fortunately, I didn't give my card because a friend was using it at the $5 slots. I stayed away for six months and all was well.
Call me old fashioned, but it just didn't look right. It makes me wonder why the $20 table has been avoided by most casinos.
I stopped in at Foxwoods yesterday afternoon and saw something I've never seen there before. Mixed in with the $10-$25 BJ tables in the Grand Pequot Casino were a couple of tables with $20 minimums. I thought it was a mistake on the electronic table sign but it wasn't.

Probably has been avoided because it would just be too many red chips.
$20 is the common unit in Bacarrat (I'm sure you checked and made sure that it wasn't a couple of Bac tables?), but the game uses (yellow?) chips specific to that game. I've been at a BJ table where someone came from Bac and put the yellows in play. The dealer took them out of the game after a loss or replaced them after a win. When I cashed out, he gave them to me so I'd bring them back to the cage. They like to keep the units specific

Definitely blackjack. One of the games was dead and I had a chance to speak with the dealer who was just as surprised as I was.

Those yellow chips (sometimes more like tan, to differentiate from yellow $1k chips) are also pretty common in Pai Gow Poker where bets in multiples of $20 are common, to accommodate the vig.
I've always wondered why $15 was a fairly common BJ denomination but not $20. $20 would be pretty easy to keep neat, just pay in green and tap off $5 every time if necessary.
Where Are The $1 Blackjack Tables At Foxwoods
Craps Tables At Foxwoods
Within the past couple of weeks, these 12 tables have been outfitted with continuous shuffle machines. As we've learned from the Wizard, the house edge is slightly decreased, however the hands per hour are increased with these machines. MS has assigned it's fastest dealers to these tables and the hands per hour have increased way beyond the expected 20%.
Looking at total money wagered, it may be better in some cases to play at the S17 tables at a $10 minimum than to speed through these $5 tables. Granted there's a lot of variables but it's something to think about.
By the way, I check out these H17 tables periodically and have yet to see anyone use proper basic strategy. I've never played these tables nor would I especially now.
