...I played all of the places mentioned and have a positive score at all exept palais savarin (and even there my loss seems to be random). I am about ck 500k up in henrys and 300k up im parkhotel, just to mention the "most suspect ones".
A lot of places use cards without white borders, i never detected any cheat because of that. An example is the well-known banco.
I observe the shuffle with breaking the discard pile in 6 packs at a lot of places in the world, including a place with my best session.
I understand why people told about cheat 1 or 2 years ago, there were good games to protect! But theese have been burned out! Admit it! No cheat there!
Mark, you lost randomly and remember old horror stories posted by others and you are worried now. If you are worried, go to russia, and they will tell you that the mafia executes casino winners or that they do not change back chips or that they give you fake money....Yes, good games must be protected! but no longer in Prague.
