Dealing all the cards on a single deck game

Wizard I need your HELP!!! if a casino offered a Single Deck Blackjack game and rather than shuffling when reaching the cut card, they dealt the entire deck and shuffled the used cards and continued dealing, would this effect the odds of the game?

anyone know what the effect would be if the dealer dealt all of the cards in a single deck game and when they ran out they would shuffle the used cards and continue on?

I was told by a dealer that if this happens the hand is void. As that understandably pisses off the customers, it is considered a huge error on the part of the dealer, and he is reprimanded severely.

But with a full table of 6 players and the dealer, and a single deck game, it is possible for that to happen in only 2 hands (especially if you can re-split) .

Since it annoys people to get a clean deck with each new hand, I think it is one of the reasons why casino don't like single deck games (even if BJ pays 6:5).

" I think it is one of the reasons why casino don't like single deck games (even if BJ pays 6:5). "

I feel like the cowardly lion before the great and powerful Wizard of Oz. But I am gonna ask anyway.

Paco, have you any documentation that SD 6/5 BJ tables are decreasing versus increasing ?

Casinos may shuffle and player-cut the discards and continue on the round, then reshuffle the full deck. That's what we do.

No. I know of no documentation the indicates what kind of blackjack games are being played. It is just an observation that when 6:5 began it seemed like all the games were single deck games. Now, they do 6/5 for all manner of games.

Thanks guess i will do some walking in Vegas. Could just be that they figured out the chump will pay 6/5 SD, let's try a shoe.
and hit soft 17 and hell only let them double on 10 or 11 . SIGH

And if I may say so, those last 10 posts

more or less.

Maybe less with the one about European
Hottie.

A LONG time ago (probably about 6-7 years ago) when Catfish Bend in Fort Madison, IA was still on the boat, they had a single deck game that paid 6:5 (I didn't know how bad that was until shortly after that). They dealt the game pretty much down to the bottom of the deck though.

ONCE, the dealer actually ran out of cards on the hand. They shuffled the remaining cards, burned the top, and continued play. I believe the dealer busted, but I remember the pit boss saying something like if he drew to 21 because of that, the hand would be a push. I remember thinking it to be a VERY odd procedure, but then again, this was Catfish Bend, which was a very odd casino.
