The Digideals have a representative shoe on the table .... shows the cards going down to the cutcard. then the shuffle ...
I have never counted each card so dont know the pen either ...
The Shufflemasters "state" that they are 2/3 pen ...
I read on here that the new dealer image starts a new shoe ...
Don't know if thats true but will say the few times I counted the Insurance paid off well in the high counts and I didn't bet it in the low ... and it hit much less ...
Thats not enough to come to any conclusions but it made me feel a little better about the legitimacy of it ..
But i dont KNOW any of that about the dealer/shoe to be true ...
It was just mentioned on here a few times ...
Also the Digideals used to have slightly more favorable rules ... but those have been changed a few months ago ...
So now the Shufflemasters look better ... at least from that standpoint ....
And. of course, no tipping on the Shufflemasters !!!
haha ...... unless your a REAL tipping fanatic !!!
anyway, thanks for responding ...
