BlackJack conditions in New Zealand

[edinem]

Hello,

I`m planning a trip to New Zealand and therefore I want to know the current BlackJack conditions there. Especially in the area around Auckland. I already searched the Internet about unfortunately didn`t find any information.
The decisive question is:
Do they use Continuous Shuffling Machines or shoes?

Auckland skycity (and all other skycity casinos in New Zealand) use CSM machines on the main floor. VIP area (members only) has several 8-deck human shuffle shoes. Nothing better than that.

Does anyone know if this book is still useful? Have casinos taken measures to defeat the strategies used in this book? Thanks.

NOTE: Finding a hand shuffled game of Pontoon may not be possible to find. CSM's are ubiquitous.
