Is shuffle tracking a thing of the past...

Is shuffle tracking a thing of the past, or can it still be used in casinos. I know that casions have automatic shufflers but do they use them on 4 or more decks. I have only played single deck in reno and vegas never a shoe but the idea of shuffle tracking sounds good if it can be mastered and if it is still applicable.

It can be done assuming of course the casino isn't using a CSM. I've read a bit about shuffle tracking and though it can be very profitable its not easy to learn. For an intro read Blackbelt in Blackjack and if you think you can hack it as a shuffle tracker there's another good book recommended in Blackbelt in BJ, written by the same author.

I played against a CSM that the dealer said had 5 decks in it.

Shuffle tracking is still alive and well all over the country. I have found shuffles in Las Vegas and Southern California that are ripe for tracking. They can be difficult to find sometimes, but they are definitely still out there.
