This is normal and very desired.itakeyourmoney said:At the store where I usually play the players at the table when a new set of cards is coming out have to check the decks to make sure all of the cards are there. I don't know if this is common among casinos, but I don't see why they wouldn't do this in other places as well.
indeed very normal as CP says.creeping panther said:This is normal and very desired.

I think New Jersey is probably the most likely state to give into corruption...well, maybe second only to Illinois :laugh:shadroch said:You can't seriously think that the State of New Jersey is going to short deck a BJ game, can you?
I can tell you've never been to Louisiana~itakeyourmoney said:I think New Jersey is probably the most likely state to give into corruption...well, maybe second only to Illinois :laugh:
Now to be serious. Shadroch is right, casinos don't need to go through the trouble to cheat, they can make enough just by their regular advantage -- it's not worth the risk of getting caught to take a little more money from ploppies on vacation.
no i wasnt serious, BUT if i had to choose a casino in AC to do that type of thing it would have been the trop. :devil:shadroch said:While losing can warp your perception, it shouldn't get to the point where it warps your thought process. The Trop is and was under state supervision while it offered its 4 deck shoes. You can't seriously think that the State of New Jersey is going to short deck a BJ game, can you?
A couple of years back there was alot of talk about short shoes in the Czech Republic and perhaps other Eastern European casinos.shinyam said:Has there ever been a documented case of a legitimate casino shorting a bj deck?
No but I think some idiot shift manager might try it and think he could get away with it. The restaurants are under state supervision too, but that doesn't mean you can rule out the possibility of getting some bad food at one, especially when you are shitting your guts out after eating at a buffet.shadroch said:While losing can warp your perception, it shouldn't get to the point where it warps your thought process.

This thread reminds me of a dealer I heard about once upon a time.ihate17 said:A large list of things both stupid and greedy done by casino managers that cost their casinos money long term can be easily listed or taken from past posts.

I agree that we can't obsess with the possibility of being cheated in NJ, just like we can't avoid all restaurants but we can take minimal precautions against blatant offenses.
You know the difference between "Satisfactory" and "Conditionally Satisfactory" on NJ restaurant inspection certificates, don't you? If they find a dead rat in the kitchen you get "Satisfactory." If the rat is alive, they give you "Conditionally Satisfactory" and upgrade it to "Satisfactory" when the rat dies.
I recently went to Prague and played for a few hours. I love how classy the joints feel there compared to American places. Anyways, I had the dealer show the cards and they were all there, the dealers were very fast and efficient as well.Pro21 said:Most cheating that I have run into has been in small casinos in countries other than the US. Usually it is done very poorly and you will see that the count is always over +20 when the cut card comes out.
In Prague you have to beware of dealers that push you when you win, or take your money when you push.
Well I think shorting the deck would make the casino illegitimate :laugh: I know of one case of a casino in the United States shorting blackjack decks and it wasn't that long ago, maybe 3-4 years.. It was a very small casino, though. They are no longer allowed to have any table games in their casino.shinyam said:Has there ever been a documented case of a legitimate casino shorting a bj deck?
