I started in AC, I think, around maybe 84 and I don't remember 8 deckers at that time. If they were there then there were way more 6 deck games around and I didn't have to touch an 8 decker for quite a long time. Trump Plaza had the one deck cut 6 deck games with ls for around a year or so (iirc) around when I started. When the Plaza games died out Tropicana had a comparable 6 deck game for quite a while after that. I remember the 6 deck games were prevalent, it seems, for maybe 2 - 3 years after I began. Sands also had good 6 deck games for quite a while after I started in AC. I remember it as 8 deck games starting some time after I already began hitting AC. 83 would have been the earliest I started in AC and it may have been as late as 85. Maybe 8 deckers were the more prevalent game at the time and certain dumps offered the 6 deck game to attract people but I had quite a good selection of 6 deck games.
