Though this IS a bit unusual it's not at ALL unprecedented. And it's the NORM in many Canadian casinos.
No, THIS is not unusual. More than half of all places start their baccarat shoes this way.
I happen to have personal knowledge that the Seminole Hard Rock casino in Florida does NOT have a policy of short-shoeing any of their games, whether it be blackjack, or baccarat; or any of the carny games.
I, for one; have no patience for the people who start these ridiculous threads; in which the OP whines about some casino bad luck, and then attempts to draw the conclusion: I lost, therefore I was cheated. Good grief! :flame:
*yawn*
The games aren't that great, but I highly doubt they're cheating. I had a great run there, myself.
This is the same casino that rigs their drawings and sets their machines to pay back less than 70 percent.
So you had a great run, and this means what exactly? Oh that's right, nothing.
Clearly logic isn't your strong point, given your methods of determining the fairness of a game, but you might still want to think twice before making assumptions about players who—for all you know—might be long-time professionals with more experience in advantage gambling than you can hope to even imagine by observing chip stacks or suffering a few bad sessions at a game with a reasonably negative expectation in the first place.Longtime lurker here, but finally made an account to respond to this sucker's ludicrous post.
Personal knowledge how? Your post wreaks of an insider who does not want bad PR for his company.
Honestly? No one here should care about the opinion of someone who uses the terms "libelous" when it comes to talking about an Indian casino.
Do you have any evidence to back your claims? How do they rig the drawings and how do you know that they set the slot payback under 70%? The Seminole Indian Gaming Commission?
Don't get me wrong. I agree the Seminoles are a bunch of crooks but I want to know how far they go?
I have not been back since I have NEVER played a H17 shoe game without LS.

You find me that 1/2 deck cutoff and we shall discuss it further.
Until that time, check your spectacles, discern reality from fantasy, or
use winking emoticons or smileys when you are trying to be be funny.
Anyone can win or lose, but those whose play is efficacious,
Merit credit for good news, and find the adverse less vexatious.
