Default Sit \'n\' Go Tournaments in Atlantic City

On my next trip to AC I'd like to play mostly in tournaments. I'll hit as many of the deep stack/longer blinds scheduled tourneys as I can manage, but I'm wondering which casinos have the most favorable sit 'n' go structure. I really hate the turbo style of most sit 'n' gos, which wind up playing like poker roulette more than anything else.

Anyone have any recommendations?

A $50 sit-N-Go at Harrahs gets you $800 in chips, 20-minute rounds with blinds starting at $25-$25. Yes, $25-$25. They usually last 1 1/2 hours.

That's all I can say.

Bally's Wild Wild West runs them infrequently. I won the first $50+$15 one I've ever played there for $400 1st place and vowed to never play again. Most of the AC casinos run turbo-style SNG's because having a slower structure just isn't profitable enough for them. Call the poker room in advance to put your name on a list.

Borgata is by far the best option, Harrahs is ok...Taj made the structure slightly better a few months ago but still too fast

Don't even bother. you are basically playing craps in these. I've tried some, as well as satelites, if you don't get a big hand paid off in the first two rotations, you are playing shove-or-fold poker.
