just was thinking about this in regards to blackjack the other day, has anyone ever heard of a case of a casino removing/adding cards from a multideck game. it seems to me as much as casinos seem to want to avoid having good counters beating their games .... it would be hard to detect and ... well anyways just curious if this have ever come up that anyone knows of.

I haven't heard about this, but I do know that some casinos (legally and within the rules, if you read their fine print), have had single and double deck games that were actually six decks shuffled together, and then a single or double deck worth of cards removed from that shuffle to create the illusion of a one or 2 deck game when you're really playing a six deck game with only one or 2 decks worth of penetration.

I forget the details, but a small Indian Casino did this years ago when I was pretty new to the business.

I read this, it actually sounded like it was the actual cash games. Which i find odd, they're always so prompt to replace bad cards when I'm there

when i was playing wsop event in AC we were playing with 51 cards for like 2 hours before they found out

some guy even brought it up cause the shuffler said 51 cards and the dealer was like thats usually wrong

then they did nothing when they found out [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

They must have a huge turn around with dealers there.. 90% have no idea what they are doing- regs deal like its their first day on the job. The main floor there is an absolute tool also.

Is the only poker room at the crown the space downstairs that has about 15 tables? The casino has way to many slot machines that are too similar.

Anyone play the electronic roulette games there?

more like 50 tables and about 10 pokerpro electronic tables.
they also have a area upstairs which they open at peak times (aussie million & vic/melbourne champs) which has about 8 tables

Damn, I didn't know that. I live near it and go there now and then but only found one smallish poker area. Whereabouts are all the electronic top tables and 50 tables?
