5 decks...

[stigedis]

A friend was at a new local casino in iowa. He plays only a little BJ. Said that he was pretty sure many of the tables were 5 deck shoes...think this is right? I, myself have only seen multiples of two deck shoes.....BUT....
what would be the critical counts for this game?
Ie....IRC pivot and key counts?

Thanks

Lol!

I think your friend was impressed with a 5 deck CSM.

Any game I have seen with 5 decks used a CSM,as well.

I've witnessed 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,and 8 deck non CSM games. Obviously 3,5,and 7 are the rarest.

Care to share where you have seen these rarely sighted games?

I've seen a 5.5 deck game! Wait, that means they were cheating, doesn't it...

Sounds like something they might try to pull in WI.

iowa

this scenario apparently was witnessed in waterloo, Iowa. Not saying it was true. Friend never mentioned the CSM. I may hit this place so I would like to have the correct counts. If CSM is in place. Ill unfortunately turn around and leave. I do not like to gamble, I (try to) count cards.....:cool2:

There's an Indian casino near Green Bay Wisconsin that deals 5 decks, H17, DOA, DAS, RSA, LS, 3.5/5.0.

I'm pretty sure Waterloo IA is all six deck shoes.
