European casinos and CSM's

[RJT]

First off i'd just like to say a quick hello to everyone here. I do post on several other forums but this is the first time i have on BJI.
From the limited amount of research that i've done, it seems to me that most of the European casinos are move quickly towards the CSM's or at the very least, some form of automatic shuffler. Everyone i hear speak of casino's in Europe seems to be telling the same tale and i feel that this is a very worrying development.
Am i right about this? Or am i just hearing the bad stories?

This used to be the case for all the casinos near me in England but all of a sudden a few months ago they suddenly all switch to shoes. Not sure if this is permanent but heres hoping it is!

I'm playing at the north end of the UK, and i know of several casinos that are hand shuffling their shoe games. Good to know that it's happening all over the country.
I was looking to make a few trips abroad within Europe over the next year however, and would like to know if i'm wasting my time before i book the tickets lol.
Thanks for the reply Amigo.

Man i hope this is the case in Denmark too, since we dont have that many Casinos(it is a really really small country tho). I hope we have hand shufflers here too

Jmp.

I've just returned from Spain and they certainly are using these dreaded machines in most of the casinos. It is indeed very worrying!

RJT, I´m new here, so I read youre post not until today.
I know that in Germany they also use CSM at most Casinos (Spielbank). The Casinos are temporary under state control. But it may be changed in the next years because of the presence of online betting shops such as "bwin". After it, it´s conceivably that private investor will open casinos in all other European Countrys . They are lurking.
I hope that the conditions will change then.
