| Try to avoid a blackjack table that opens with
all the cards already in the shoe. You want to make sure the
cards are laid out on the table before the start of the game
and that they are all there. The dealer could have put the
cards in the shoe in a way as to favor the house. In some
foreign countries casinos will sometimes remove 10s from the
shoe game during peak times, thus giving the house a considerable
advantage. If you don't see all the card, don't play there. |
