CSM's in Las Vegas

[monte_vv]

Does anyone have any current information regarding which casinos, if any, in Las Vegas are using continuous shuffling machines. I did a quick search but could not find anything current. I've been out of the game for awhile... Thanks

Most casinos in Las Vegas have some CSMs. Very few have only CSMs.

Get a copy of "Current Blackjack News" it will have the info you are looking for. You can get it at www.bj21.com

Most places have a mix of CSM's, shoes, single and double decks. I did notice that Binions is mostly all CSM's.....except for the cowgirl dealers....with crap rules.

Binions does not have mostly CSMs, and has better rules than most of the low limit games on the strip.

I was in town the first part of April and don't recall seeing the machines at Binions. However, the Plaza has mostly CSMs except for a couple of tables. I only play downtown, where the rules give you a fighting chance.

Suggesting that one cannot find games on the strip with rules giving you a "playable chance" is just plain wrong.

Agreed. There are tons of decent games on the strip.

It can be correct if you have an immutable concept of blackjack strategy. If you're absolutely wedded to single deck, for instance, I believe it is true that there is no game for you on the Strip.

Someone wedded to single deck would do far better going to Northern Nevada than going to Vegas. Another suggestion might be to get a divorce.
There are no playable single deck games (except for flashers) either on the strip or locals, but not everyone can play downtown single deck.

Being limited to 3 casinos in a town of over 100 casinos is very restrictive and once your bet size reaches a fairly modest amount, you are down to zero casinos. There are plenty of double deck and shoe games I can exploit at my betting level on the strip and at several "locals" casinos that downtown has become a place I no longer go.
