Akwesasne Mohawk Casino: Review

New York’s northernmost gaming place, Akwesasne Mohawk Casino is Class III gaming, so it contains all that New York allows in a casino. It is of course Native American; recently the Mohawk Bingo Palace relocated and is now part of this one. There is a hotel and small RV park. The Casino just held its yearly qualifier tournament for the World Series of Poker, with the prize of a $10,000 seat in the Main Event of the WSOP in Las Vegas. Look for all kinds of other promotions, because this resort is likely to rev up its specials and games to attract gamblers from Canada and adjoining states.

Many complaints are heard concerning low slots payouts, but the blackjack odds are better than nearby Canadian casinos due to Akwesasne’s Double-Deck Blackjack game, and the shoe games use 6 decks instead of 8.

Additional Information: You may be wondering, What is 4 card Poker? It’s a table game offered by Akwesasne which pits you against the dealer, like in blackjack. Each player is dealt 5 cards, and he must make the best 4-card poker hand out of them he can and discards 1 card. The dealer gets 6 cards, 5 dealt face-down and 1 faceup. The dealer discards 2 cards to make his hand.

This is an Ante poker game. You pay an ante to be dealt cards; you also place a bet on the Aces Up spot to begin. Aces in your hand are high except in the case of the hand A-2-3-4. After viewing your hand you must decide to fold or bet; you can bet up to 3 times the Ante. Best hands in 4-card poker are 4 of a Kind; Straight Flush; 3 of a Kind. If your hand is equal to or stronger than the dealer’s you win. If you made a hand, you win a Bonus even if your hand didn’t beat the dealer’s.
