Default Number of decks

Hey everyone I am new to this site and whatnot, but I was wondering what do you believe is the most common number of decks found throughout Vegas for a low stakes player? Is it going to be 6D CSM mostly? Thanks

CSMs are not the norm. Don't confuse CSM with automatic shufflers,which are pretty much the norm.

Oh yeah by no means was I trying to imply that. From what I understood was that on the low stakes tables they really don't care that much so they just stick a CSM on it so that the house just cranks out deal after deal. I know that they generally don't have CSM's on high stakes games because if that were the case people just wouldn't play forcing them to switch back to a ASM.

There are plenty of DD games for low rollers. But not all that many on the strip.Downtown or off-strip(Terribles,Fiestas,Wild Wild West).A few of the MGM strip casinos have $10 DD games,and I think the Trop does. Slots of Fun annex has them if you are on the north strip. Most,if not all of these don't use CSMs on their $5-10 games.

It depends on where you are. The Strip will have mostly 6D games for low limits. Downtown will have mostly DD games.

Thanks for the responses. Does anyone know anything how the action is at the Green Valley Ranch or Southpoint? Table rules etc?

GVR has a good DD game and a mediocre 6D game. South Point has mediocre DD and bad 6D.

i can confirm South Pointe has a so-so DD game. it is playable and can be fun.
boulder station's DD game is pretty good too, not great though.

Actually, on this past trip (last weekend), I very rarely saw ASM's. Games were either CSM or hand-shuffled. This is radically different from the 2002-2007 trend, so maybe I just had a skewed sample.
