Game expert Stanford Wong's view on Blackjack Continuous Shuffling Machines.

----"During one interview, Wong was asked regarding his view on what lies ahead for advantage players in blackjack, including those who use expert plays like card counting to win more games and more money. ----- For Wong, there is really a bleak future for advantage players in blackjack, especially ever since continuous shuffling machines entered the scene.

He also believed that playing blackjack is not a really good option for people who are looking for outstanding moneymaking opportunities right now. He also said that unless the players can come up with another means to be in control over the casinos, the game of blackjack would not be a very good option for them. Right now, casinos and other gaming establishments worldwide are very much pleased with the outcome of these continuous shuffling machines."

Considering the proliferation of 6:5 payouts Wong may be right. I even saw the crummy payout on a 2 deck table! More 6:5 tables is very sad, do the casinos really need to take players money that much faster? If the players would stay away from these games casinos would switch back but unfortunately the tables seem to be popular. What can we do about this? We need to get the word out to the average player to stay away from these games.

If we could find a way to unite and picket casinos who have such awful rules, then it may change. Though it may be too much work to make it worth the effort. A picket squad would have to get media attention to have a chance. For one, a 6/5 game should be considered a "Carnival Game" and should be deemed illegal to call it Blackjack.
