PA and DE- are video table games REALLY table games?
 

Casino Player Mag's Nov 07 issue made a statement that the video table game machines are actually table games (such as BJ and other pit games).
In a previous post, I though that these games were disguised slot machines. That discussion never made clear what the machines might be.

I don't know what class of machines are in play in the PA and DE racinos. Are those machines truly electronic versions of table pit games? So, basic strategy and other knowledge can affect results?

If the Machienes are programmed like slots (to take in a certain percentage no matter what) .. (unrandom cards) then it would be considered a slot.

Which is shady in itself because table games are the same as a slot over a period of time they are going to make a certain amount of money I don't see the difference no matter what skill is involved your still going to lose in the long run.

If the blackjack table reshuffles every hand you can't count cards hence no advantage.

Can't speak for DE, but the BJ machines in PA are actually the same as the table games. They do shuffle after every hand, so counting can't be done (obviously), but all in all, they are without a doubt the best games in PA Racinos.

Here is an article from the Wizard of Odds explaining the machines, their payback, and their configuration in more detail.
