The Circus Circus in Reno offers 3:2 single deck games $5-$500.
If you increase your bet by more than double they will shuffle up as per house policy. Circus Circus is a dive mind you, they will call out "Green action" -- yuck. CBJN doesn't mention this so perhaps it is a new rule.
On a Saturday night I blatantly spread 1-20 on a jumping table with drunk college kids. I thought they might be enough camo. I think I had snuck a couple big bets in buth the dealer was a relic and knowingly said, "If you are going to bet that way I am only going to deal one round." I left shortly after.
I went back the next day to see what was up. Played very low stakes this time, spreading from $5 - $20 just to see what was up. If I would jump from $5-$15 they would shuffle automatically, there was myself and another player, one round dealt. The dealer said it is house policy so again I left shortly after.
Thought about this 'house policy' right away with the large spreads there has to be a way to take advantage of this shuffle up rule. We came up with something along the lines of 2 players playing together, one plays big off the top, say $100 or $200 bets. The other plays the minimum always. If the count goes BAD after the first hand the small player triples his bet incurring the dealer to shuffle. If the count goes good, the big player parlays or spreads to x2 hands or other such strategy to get more $$ in action. This way the BP only has bad money off the top and may look like a play-all plop.
I feel that Circus Circus' policy is lazy and overly paranoid. I would really like to turn this around to bite them. Not looking to make a big score, just really to spite them. Any suggestions here?
