I purchased the most recent copy of Current Blackjack News. I also bought an issue several months ago and when I went to Vegas play conditions at certain casinos didn't match CBJ. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong? I'm also wondering what are days of week/times the playing conditions listed. I stayed on the strip Thanksgiving. I usually stay/play at local casinos or downtown. But my friend who is not a serious gambler wanted to stay on the strip. I found it difficult to find an honest game. For example, I was at Excalibur Wed and Thur night. I went to every table that was open and all they had was multiple 6/5 single deck where you can only double 10 or 11 (played face up) and many 6 deck csm games. I noticed they have a high limit area where I suspect the $25 double deck games might be but that area was not open either Wed or Thur night, perhaps it is only open on weekends. I also did not find one 8 deck game that did not use a continuous shuffle machine as listed in CBJ. I ignore Spanish 21 so I can't vouch for those. There was certainly not 11 8 deck non csm tables. I ended up playing at Hooters where they had one double deck table and the Tropicana where they had a few 8 deck hand shuffled shoes. I guess this is a long winded way of politely asking is what is listed in the CBJ accurate for every day of the week or only at certain times because the playing conditions I found did not match what is listed in the CBJ both times I've purchased it?
