God, how I’ve missed $2 tables in Atlantic City.

By now you all know that I am not a high roller. I am a journalist who loves to play, gamble and observe those worlds.  I also like to watch out for you.

And point out scams, tell you good stories, etc.

I hope that’s why you check in every week.

So now Resorts, in Atlantic City is bringing back the $2 blackjack table.

Hallelujah.

When I was a kid, first starting out playing blackjack, that was all I could afford.

Now, with the economy such as it is, it’s no surprise that Resorts is bringing back $2 tables to draw more people into its casino.

With high rollers being few and far between during the economic recession, the Atlantic City casino is hoping that the everyday gamblers can help improve revenue.

Opening tables at this price level does not come without a catch.

Players will have to pay $.25 a hand to the casino. The fee will go towards offsetting the operating costs of running such a small stakes table.

The casino is attempting to attract new and inexperienced players with the $2 dollar tables.

$2 tables were very common before casinos became greedy and took away the games. Now that they are hurting for customers, the casinos have started to rethink their high limit tables.

There has also been an increase in penny slot machines over the past couple of years.

While high rollers still have the option to play at stakes of upwards of $100 a spin, the gamblers on a budget can find many penny slots at most US casinos.

MEANWHILE, Pennsylvania has moved closer to toppling Atlantic City’s hold on casino gambling.

State lawmakers passed laws legalizing table games in casinos.
