Wonderful to see AC is taking strides to remain competitive as more east coast blackjack is on the verge of appearing.
On the other hand can you really blame them? They'd have to deal 100% out of a 6D shoe to get the same hands per hour as 75% of an 8D shoe. And to your typical patron is there really much of a difference between 6 and 8 decks? Not so much.

Actually its not really bad news. The Borgs pen on their 6 deckers was lousy anyway. They have better pen for the most part with their 8 deckers.

Uhm...No
I would have to say no to that question. I believe Borg was the only place to have MSE with 6 decks in AC. It saddens me about Borg doing such a thing. Their 6 deck pen varies greatly, from horrible to not so bad really. Most recreational gamblers won't know the difference and will play the 8 deckers and the only way they'd change it is if their overall business dropped off along with getting enough direct complaints about 8 decks instead of 6.

It does indeed suck to hear this. Borgata isn't the best game in town anyway. (i am not referring to that two deck crap on the boardwalk...lol) What makes it special is having so many tables and being able to move around so much, without creating a lot of down time.21forme said:
True, but it is kinda funny when the critters start following you around to see where you're going next. I've had this happen at the Trop, too. It was even funnier, one time, when I was talking to my EMFH partner on the cellphone while being followed, and you could see the lightbulb on top of the PCs head when he put 2 and 2 together and realized we were working as a team.kewljason said:

Which is pit 4--the one just outside the HL pit as you come in? I was there a month or so ago and there were a few 8D games, but mostly still 6D. Also, there was better pen in some locations, even at the same price, as a matter of house policy. Don't ask me why, but a dealer told my partner.MikwZello said:
Didn't Taj have some 6D in the $25 and up tables? I haven't been there in a while.

8D varience
All else being equal, there is less variance with 8 decks than with 6

Or do you believe that the casino made the change to give the player a better chance at winning?
But I know some people can talk themselves into anything.

8 decks has a higher house edge than a 6d.Viper said:
