Is a 6:5 pay out a rip off and whats a continuos/automatic shuffle machine, this is what they have in Melbournes(australia) crown casino.
sorry 6:5 on blackjack
Matt,
Yeah, a 6:5 on blackjack game is REALLY bad. I wrote a blog post explaining CSM’s and other shuffle machines. You can read about it here: http://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/2008/07/07/shoes-shuffles-and-shoddy-machines/
i went to a casino where they use an automatic machine to shuffle 5 decks and all the cards are placed back into the machine after every game. doesn’t that destroy the running count?
These are called CSM’s (Continuous Shuffle Machines) and you are correct, they are NOT countable.
