Cheating casino?

[dacium]

This is very touristy casino. They did have $5 blackjack and got rid of it with minimum $10. They had 50c perfect pair, then $1, now $2.50. Now they are bringing in alot of $15 dollar tables and I think they will slowly phase out $10.

The shoe tables are only open from 8pm to 4am. All the other tables (the majority) are shuffle machines.

They have some pretty hard rules like aces count as 1 before double downs, so there spanish 21 games has a huge house edge.

I don't know what they dont count used decks. I checked it out and every blackjack game (where players dont handle cards) they were using used decks. Only in the poker and high baccarat did they have new decks.

speaking of being forced to colour up.... at my local casino i was about to leave teh table when the dealer tells me that i couldn't take my chips like that, and that I HAD to trade in my red chips for greens. Is this a normal occurance??
At another table that same day i had about 80 bucks in reds when i just grabbed my chips and left (i wanted to see what the dealer would say ) but he didn't seem to mind.
Another question, what is a good count to wong in on? I had set a count of 5, but i spent 2 hours backcounting the last time i went and the count never went more than 4, which REEALLY sucked. so shld i be going in on TC's of 3 and 4??

it's pretty normal for the dealer and pit to ask players to color up when they leave a table. it's really so they don't end up short on red chips at one table and over flowing with red at another. i try and keep a good number in my pocket by rat holeing them. that way i have some for a quick entry while wonging.
i'll wong in on a true count of plus two or better and put out an optimal bet for the count..... sometimes on TC= 1.
but if i go in on plus one i just bet one unit.

best regards,

Get your wonging chips from a busy craps table if your don't want to spend time rate holeing at bj table. I've never been questioned after breaking franklin and playing a few pass plays.
