After many years of hand-shuffled game,the biggest greek casino in Loutraki(80 kms from Athens)desided to use CSM's in most tables,mainly the ones with the highest minimum-maximum.There are few tables still with the traditional way of shuffling but these are 10 euro min-500 euro max and have 9!( yes nine!)boxes.This desition was probably forced after many court's verdicts in favour of barred card counters.

When did they introduce the CSM and when did they convert to 9 boxes at the handshuffled game?
It must have happened in the last weeks??
it has been a week that the CSMs have appeared in the casino.Unfortunately another small greek casino in chalkidiki(Porto Carras)has also introduced CSM in all tables.
This week CSMs are installed in Regency Casino Thessaloniki.

All CSMs now?
Csm have been installed in 3 greek casinos-thessaloniki hyatt regency(all tables),chalkidiki porto carras(all tables) and club hotel loutraki(most tables but there a few handshuffled tables left in the basement which is open only after 21.00 )In the near future casino Mont parnes in Athens is planninig to use Csm.This casino is also under Hyatt managment.
The casino in Corfu is still run buy the Greek government. It is up for sale and is a gold mine for counters until it is sold. The games are four deck with S17,DAS and 80% penetration. The casino is located in the Corfu Holiday Palace and is open from 8:00pm-3:00am.

I assume, BJT wanted to know, where he can stay a night for 20- 30 Euro. Remember, we are very poor players, losing a lot of money on the tables and are only sometimes winning!!

I can take up to 31 Euros...
this hotel costs about 100 euro per night per person.It is better to find a room in town.The casino is in an area called Canoni just 4 kms away.Of course it is open only for 6 hours every day as JSTAT reports and there are only 1-2 tables open.
