The problem with this of course, is software can easily monitor players decisions, bets, according to count. Players make decisions on a touch pad screen in front of them. However, bets and card play are done electronically. Approximately 75% penetration, but is irrelevant.ģ) The last, and only chance of advantage for a counter, is 8 (or 6?) deck w/ a discard tray, normal open top shoe, and hand/machine(non-CSM) shuffled. When the cut card comes out of the shoe, the dealt cards are taken from under the table, shuffled, and placed back in the capped shoe. The dealt cards go in a slot in the table. That way a player can not see how much of the shoe is remaining. But get this- they do not have a discard tray, and the shoe is covered. Walked right past those.Ģ) Non-CSM, 8 (or 6?, not quite sure) deck, hand/machine(non-CSM) shuffled games. Unfortunately, the casino took a different approach to combat counting and made blackjack games more player unfriendly in a non-traditional type of display.ġ) Continuous shuffling machines (CSM). Good rules as mentioned in a previous post, S17, 3:2 blackjack, etc. This casino could have really had an edge over worsening Atlantic City conditions, but didn't take advantage of it.
