Agreed. But look on the bright side - it may not last for long. Correct me if I'm wrong, but LCI are now owned by Harrahs and so it looks as though some edict has come from the other side of the Atlantic telling the management at Empire and GN to screw down the games (and they've done exactly as they've been told). But with Napoleon's, literally tennis ball throwing distance from the Empire offering a four deck game, I'm sure even the regulars will eventually wise up. Four decks or eight decks? It's a no brainer really?
Napoleon's could, of course, throw in the towel in offering four deck games, but as they advertise the fact heavily that they offer the best game around (so it's their market USP so to speak), and no doubt that this in itself attracts regular money, they may opt for business as usual. Watch this space.
