Up here in Saskatchewan, it was pretty much standard 6 decks whereever you go, although now I think they are moving down to a 5 deck shoe after too many complaints. A person gets excited when he finds a 5 deck shoe up here. Also, they are moving more and more into the Continuous shuffler idea in Regina, which in my opinion, really sucks. Saw the dealer pull the same suited Ace out for himself five hands in a row. Coincidence or the same card????
