The game has changed :(

#1
I've been playing a lot of BJ this week, and noticed that a particular off-strip casino has changed their double deck game since my last visit, which was around a month ago.

I went to two of their properties and found that there is now no double after split, and every dealer cuts 50%! The last time I went there, there was double after split and the penetration was 70%. I was appalled by the change.

I hope this does not become a widespread thing for double deck games all over Vegas.

Vegas,

Everyone runs to Vegas, Vegas this and Vegas that:rolleyes:

The best games are no longer in Sin City, go there for the prostitutes and shows and nothing more, if you are into those things.

Vegas sucks:whip:

Just curious, if it was H17 or S17

While I can understand players wanting to hide good games they find, I don't understand why they chose to protect casinos that degrade their games.

Ha ha, is this in regards to my not naming the casino? I don't care if everyone knows about this place, since I probably won't return, but I don't know if someone else in the forum would mind.

You live in Vegas and don't play shoe games? That severely limits your opportunities. In that case, most of the games you find will be terrible. :(

Have you checked out Summerlin?

I foresee having to move on to shoe games eventually. But for now, I opt to play double deck because it's a lot quicker. There are some pretty good double deck games all around but who knows, they might start changing like the one mentioned in this post, or ban me. Yes, I've checked out Summerlin.

What's a lot quicker? Hands per hour, winning hands per hour, or win rate?
quicker in terms of the action. i could be wrong, since i haven't had that much experience with shoe games, but when i have played i felt like it was a waiting game. i have to back count, hop around, and usually don't see a count of +3 or better until at least a couple of decks have been dealt. in double deck, i can see counts of +5 in a few minutes. i have had many sessions where i'd sit down at a double deck game, run into a couple of good rounds, and be out the door in 20 minutes up 30 units.
