I remember when they used to pay 2:1 on blackjacks every Christmas.Joep said:Bininos Double deck game is now being dealt out of a shoe . (Hole Card Protection)
And there are down to 1 table of single deck paying 3 to 2 with a 25 minimum and a 2,000 max bet
The rest of the tables are all paying 6 to 5 on their 1 deck games
Naaaww, you are too young to remember that! zgSonny said:I remember when they used to pay 2:1 on blackjacks every Christmas.
This fact shouldn't hurt the game unless the pen. is reduced, right?Joep said:Bininos Double deck game is now being dealt out of a shoe .
Mathematically, no. But it does pretty much eliminate the shot at the hole card. I think Plaza and LVC are now both dealing double deck out of a shoe as well. Plaza started doing this this past September.E-town-guy said:This fact shouldn't hurt the game unless the pen. is reduced, right?
Is there a "trend" by the casinos that offer both shoe and pitch games to play the pitch games only on the higher limit tables? This is true at AmeriStar in KC...or was the last time I checked.Joep said:As a NFL referee would say " Upon Further Review"
This weekend at Binions in a pit that was not open on Thursday night one of their Double Deck games were being pitched and not out of the shoe.
The other Double Deck game that I referred to on Thursday night is still being dealt out of the shoe
So this may be an experiment by Binions to see the customers reaction's .Can you really figure out what casino management is really thinking .
No Time out will be charged
Also, the cards are dealt face-up which is beneficial to card counters. It's not as beneficial as front-loading, but you have to take advantage of what you can get.E-town-guy said:shoe games are probably faster to play so perhaps as players we should prefer those?
