6 Deck Shufflers???

My local casino is pretty small so their games are limited. All they offer for Blackjack is a 6 deck machine shuffle. Every 2-3 rounds they empty the dicard rack back into the machine.

My question is should I just save my bankroll and take a trip to a different casino to play or is there a way to keep an accurate count? I am a begginer and do not have a lot of expiriance with counting but i do pretty well when i do go somewhere where they offer a double deck game. I just cant figure out the continuous shufflers.

Any advice from someone?

The penetration is always terrible so there is no way to ever have a meaningful count.

Don't confuse an automatic shuffler with a CSM. The shufflers will shuffle the decks typically while they are dealing out of the shoe and essentially just keep alternating between two sets of decks. The CSMs they toss the played cards back into the machine that they they are then dealing from.

More knowledgeable folks can correct any errors, but again, just avoid any CSM game.

Alright. Thank you. I think thats best. I kind of figured that but i just thoguht i would ask. Ill just save up and take my game to some other casino.

bottom line- csm's are bad for counters while automatic shufflers are good for counters (less time wasted waiting for the dealer to finish shuffling 6 decks, more time in play)

Yeah, I see the posative from automatic shufflers. This one is deffinetly a CSM though. Oh well. Hopefully they put in a good DD game or something of the sort. Thank you all for your input! I still have a lot to learn :)
