Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that any game has ever been removed for being "beatable". The casino can just take countermeasures to prevent hole carding, edge sorting, collusion, card-sharing, card counting, etc.
The only time I've heard about a game being removed for being beatable was the rumor that Double Draw Poker is being removed from Mohegan Sun because of collusion. It's still being played in Florida though.
edit: I'm sure side bets have been removed for being countable

The main game and its side bet are often integrated together. When people talk about a game beatable, they actually mean them as a whole package. The main game of blackjack is extremely hard to beat, but many side bets are relatively easier. So, we can not consider them separately.

I seem to recall an undesired main game paytable printed on the felt. (Mississippi?)
Does replacing the felt count as removing the beatable version of the game?
May the cards fall in your favor.
