Default Computer blackjack

I was playing at southland park in west Memphis, AR. They have a table and a dealer but it's all computerized and the dealer just pushes a button to deal shuffle etc. My question is, how accurate are those games? Are they equivalent to a real card game? I have lost miserably the three times I have played there. Playing on normal tables I have good success. Just wanted to know was it just your typical unlucky streak or a bogus game?

Why would you want to considering the casinos are just a few miles away?

I'm a doctor and when on call I don't like to be more than 30 min away. Tunica would be about an hour and a half. So trust me it's not by choice would definitely rather a real casino.

I have never seen this kind of machine. Rather than being critical of the original posters judgement, could someone comment on this system ?

I don't know what the regulatory situation is like in Arkansas, but I would imagine these games are fair. I know a few people made large amounts of profit on these very games in the first year or two they existed.

Like Ken, I'd assume that the games are fair. What would make the difference would be the rules that they apply to the games and whether or not the deck is shuffled after each hand. I also have seen several big wins on similar machines - but, in the long run, like in live games, the casino has the edge.
