Yes and No. In this age of computers, social networks, and widely
disseminated information - The good games have to adapt to survive. Nobody
plays perfect , but full pay deuces at 100.76, even with good / regular
players at places like the Palms and Stations are probably knocking off a
100.26 % clip - beating the casino. An 100.2 AFP ( almost full pay )
deuces game , I maintain, would not be positive after aggregate average
player mistakes. I play on the east coast and our AC full pay double bonus
poker game is 9/7. It use to be 10/7, but that's history - we accept it and
move on. The best deuces games in AC is 99.0%, thus not very popular , the
greedy casino slashed the pay schedule too much. I use to play $1 FP Joker
4700 in Vegas. Now, If I find a 90/4000 $ game, I consider it lucky.
Blackjack is still a popular game , but the best Vegas rules and
opportunities for counting are a small sliver of what they use to be. The
game and players have adapted, so that casino's can make a profit and
players still have a chance to win.
