Casino Morongo Question

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if somebody could tell me how many decks Morongo uses, and what their penetration rate is. I thought it was six but I'm just double checking. Also, I use the KO count system and I was wondering what you're supposed to do when the dealer throws out the first card after every shuffle, and the changing of dealer shifts. Are you supposed to change the initial running count due to this (i.e. add or subtract one from the count)? Thanks for your time guys!

I've not been there, but a subscription to CBJN (available on this site) would answer that question.

There is no difference from a burn card and a card behind the cut card, i.e., an unseen card is an unseen card. Burn cards serve only to reduce your penetration. For the KO count there is no effect because you have no true count conversion.

For a balanced count, burn cards would not affect the running count, but should be added to the number of unseen cards during the true count conversion.

..is all 6 deck (from what I remember), and from what I saw a big waste of time (penetration sucked, and all tables were crowded except the 100 min). I walked in and out without playing a hand..

If you are or will already be near Morongo, I suggest heading up the road a bit to the Palm Springs area. Still not the greatest games, but Trump 29 has a DD that can be good if you can coax decent penetration, and there are two others in the near vicinity that are pretty decent for CA gaming. At any rate, the CBJN has been a great investment for me, and I highly recommend it (you can purchase one issue to check it out if you want). It gives the low down on all tables in every known casino in the country (and some in Canada). Mins, number of tables, decks, penetration..etc. The only thing it doesnt give is specific notes about heat, but they do have notes on if the casino uses facial recognition, mindplay, preferential shuffling, etc..Most of the more populated areas are updated monthly (some of the spots that are way out take a few months) and you can check it out in the catalog (I make no money from Wong so this is not a sales pitch:)..

Best of luck..
