Card Counting at Thunder Valley Blackjack
There is absolutely no question that the best blackjack at Thunder Valley is the double deck. Although they limit doubling down to 9-11 only, these games have the best double deck dealer penetration in all of California. Most tables at Thunder Valley deal from a continuous shuffle machine, so be sure to avoid those if you’re counting cards. Card counting will also be ineffective on the regular 6-deck shoes due to the poor penetration on the shoe games. Double deck is clearly the way to go!
