    Casinos without CSMs in the UK

    Hi,

    Does someone living in the UK knows if there are casinos without CSM machines, and if yes, where they are located ?

    I've read that most of the UK casinos were using CSM machines, but don't know if there are casinos who are not using them.

    Let me guess: small-sized, where it's not easy to become a member, like those in Mayfair, will use shoes.
    Also those in smaller towns, from Glasgow down to Southport.

    I am a new Blackjack player living in the UK, I just learned the game and am learning basic strategy, and I was wondering if it is worth learning to count cards

    The Americans have to stick to stone age plays like card counting because their access to online gambling is very limited due to the political power of their bricks and mortar casino chains, and the sheer numbers of physical casinos.

    The UK moved past that decades ago. Learn other forms of AP, they are much more profitable and accessible here.

    Over 10% of the US population lives in states with full online casino gambling. You do not have to be a resident to play online, but there are not that many people who would have an easy commute to 'work' in one of full online states. NY City and Toledo residents are the major populations that could easily play online right now with a short commute.

    If I did not live in DE, NJ, MI, PA, or WV, I would probably move to one of those states if I was not in my seventies and already set for life. If I wanted social interaction, I would go back to table poker, not card counting.

    Interesting ty for the very specific information.

    I must admit I'm still a little confused as to why people go from New York to Las Vegas but can't seek out an area with liberal access to online books/casinos.
