Just passing word not to bother with Harrah's in Cherokee, NC.
First and foremost: It is ALL digital. Absolutely no way to shuffle track.
I asked how many decks it used. They claimed 6. DAS, No surrender, No resplit aces. S17.
When I finally got adealer who could answer the question, I found out the 3 decks are actually dealt out before shuffle.
I counted how many hands on average were played per shuffle. I counted 6 rounds played with only 2 other players at the table. I doubt this hit the 3 decks he claimed.
The table minimums are too high. The lowest I usually see has been $15. A couple times $5, but usually nothing lower than $15.
They have another game called "blackjack bonanza" the difference is there is a sidebet for getting dealt a matching suited pair and the dealer has a matching card to go with it. Pays out $10000.
Same deck, same rules but h17. I think the dealer said there was also no DAS. So because of a really poor sidebet option they give themselves more of an advantage.
Overall strikes me as a greedy casino judging by various other games I looked at (i.e. paytables on video poker.)
Also, it's a pain in the ass to get to.
