questions for you dd players.
1. what is an acceptable pen level for dd? (70% + etc....)
2. I hear where some casinos are using the "fake dd", where they deal two decks in the hand that were actually cut from a 6 deck shoe. how do you know if you are getting the real deal? and if they are doing this shouldn't it be illegal?
I think I saw somewhere that 70% is good, 65% acceptable. Even though I don't count, I'd rather get all the cards in play that I can on DD.
Where I play, cards are changed every 2 hours. They are spread, checked and washed in front of the players at the table. Never any doubt when this procedure is employed by the Casino.
I've played at casinos where they hand shuffle which I strongly prefer.
However, I've also played at casinos using Shuffle Master which employs two separate double deck stacks. In these cases, the backs are different colors. They are also spread, checked, washed and then placed in the shuffling machine. They are NOT continuous shuffle.
I've never seen, nor would I play on one of the so-called "fake DD" tables.
