Just curious as to why you would make this statement? I would guess that many "big bettors" do NOT shuffle track. Some big bettors do not even count...they just enjoy playing at higher stakes. And there must be big bettors who count but do not track shuffles. That being said, why the statement that big bettors refuse to play ASM's. (Note: Not talking CSMs. This Ameristar does not use CSMs for their BJ games....only for their carnival games.) However, they use ASMs throughout the casino, including the high-limit area. Their "sister-casino" (also owned by Pinnacle) on the south side of the city has the same procedures. That is, ASMs everywhere, but no CSM's for BJ.
