I have lived in the area near the casino for years and have watched the BJ game become unbeatable.

The cards are brought from the back room to the table in a shoe never washed in front of players. I haven't had a winning session there in years and haven't played there in many years because of that.

Once, while playing by myself in a nearly empty casino, I asked the dealer for new cards ... he refused and then I asked to see the ones we were playing with and again, he refused.

Stinks like short shoeing to me. Beware, card counters!
