What is i-Table at Parx?

[ArcticInferno]

I don’t know exactly what an i-Table is, but this is my
understanding.
The shoes are open (not capped or covered) and the discard
trays are exposed.
However, the betting is done electronically on a display
screen on the table. There’re no physical chips.
That means that the bet variations and the amount of wins
will be electronically monitored.
Regardless of the count, if you’re varying your bets and
winning money, then the computer will alert the pit or the
surveillance. Right?
The i-Table may actually be worse than the covered shoe and
the hidden discard tray.

Yes, but you can play unrated, short sessions. Easy cash out (push a button) makes wonging out easy when the counts bad. Move to the next table deposit your voucher or cash and play again then move. Since there is no card for them to electronically follow your play and link these different unrated short sessions, they would have to do so manually, which is pretty much on par with playing unrated at a regular table.

Ugh. Doesn't sound good.

Call gaming and tell them you think the casino is using that thing to count cards and cheat the customers.

I spread from 10-75x2 and I get no heat. Since I'm unrated it has no way of knowing that I have a lifetime win.

It's worse than I thought. The shoes are covered, but the discard tray is displayed.
The ultra high tech shoe that resembles a Stealth Bomber scans the cards as they come out.
The computer adds and totals the cards to determine win, loss, push, etc.
The computer can count the cards along with you, in addition to monitoring your bets and wins.

Scary. I hope the extreme expense is worth chasing a few counters away...
