Re: Am i SOL for B&M play?
Semi on-topic -- regarding map distance algorithms, my first trip to Tunica I used the Motel 6 finder which put me in Helena, Arkansas, which it said was about 18 miles from Tunica. I ended up at least 50 miles from the casinos!
Problem #1: I used Tunica, not Tunica Resorts or Robinsonville, 14 miles north.
Problem #2: Their algorithm appeared to give distances "as the crow flies," i.e. assuming I could helicopter over the Mississippi River instead of driving 20 miles south for the nearest bridge.
Needless to say I learned an important lesson about trusting online distance finders. Cheapskates only gave me a $10 coupon for my troubles. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
