Calling casinos for rules etc

[aussiecounter]

Hey guys, just a quick (or not so) question.

Before I ask that though, I'll just point out that from where I live, near Sydney Australia, there is ONE casino in Sydney (CSM City), one about 3-4hrs drive in Canberra( our Capital), and then a few others 10hr drive or more or a flight away. Total of I think 13 casinos in the country. (I just read ZG's excerpts mentioning so many casinos, so yes, that was a whinge.)

Now my question.
I'm probably going to one or two of the places with casinos in the next few months, and I was just wondering if I should have any qualms about calling the casinos themselves to find out what rules they use, so I can practice for the conditions? Also, how forthcoming will they be? Should I just come out and ask "Do you use CSMs? Whats the pen like?" I know I should have no probs asking about how many decks and the basic rules etc, but how far should I push it? Thats if I can get through to the right people.
I know this may seem pretty petty, but meh.

Call and ask for/see if you can reach the BJ pit and speak to the pit secty who may put a floorperson - don't be shy about asking rules/decks, then ask how many cards they cut-off the end.

Or, if you get a female floorperson, just ask "how deep is the penetration in your pit?" zg

I did the same thing at a casino near me and they were honest and had no problem explaining to me everything from rules to decks to how many csm's and shoe tables they had.
