No full-pay and no table games. They do have some video bj games with
multiple seats.

They've never had decent VP. They used to have perfectly decent multi-
player video BJ games, with bets of $1-$99. But when I last visited
(on a holiday weekend last fall), the video BJ ("BJ Flash") had a
minimum bet of $25. They also had this very strange hybrid BJ, where
the "cards" were "dealt" video style, but you bet with actual chips,
& a real live "dealer" gave or took your chips after the hand.
I don't know why they used this system. For years Cherokee had been
machine only, which I'd heard had something to do with the pact
between the Cherokees & the state government banning live dealers.
Perhaps there was a loophole in the law & it didn't apply if
the "dealers" only handled the chips, & maybe the casino discovered
that they got better business with the human element.
Another possibility is that it's worth it to them to have human
dealers so they can adjust the limits easily. On this holiday
weekend, the cheapest hybrid tables had a $10 minimum, but I'd assume
they'd reduce this if business were slow.
