A new card shuffler is being tested that would take the advantage away from card counters. The shufflers holds four decks and selects cards randomly with each pick. Therefore, the same card could come up twice in a row. The casinos claim that players like the machine because they can play continuely instead of waiting for the dealer to shuffle the deck. Yes, they are installing them for the convenience of the players.... [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] That's so kind of them. <vbg>

Lee Ann,
There is also a new shuffle master for Pia GowPoker too. Instead of the cards being spit out one at a time till seven cards are waiting in the trough for the dealer to distribute, they come out in the trough in one big chunk of 7 cards. Again speeding up the game for us players! LOL I guess shuffle master is always looking out for "us"! LOL [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

Jeff,
I had a horrid session of Pia Gowpoker this trip again. Only I used 2, 40 for 50 coupons at Sahara. So instead of me loosing 100 in a very short time they only got 80! LOL That's 10, $10 bets lost without a win, one push in 11 hands. Talk about a bad seat! LOL
