Steve,

Not only is it smart, it's a time-saver. There's never a dull moment
while the dealer shuffles 8 decks of cards while you sit and wait. Plus
there's less eye-in-the-sky security required. Holland is described as a
"highly evolved democracy". We, in the US are backwards to a point in
that regard.

Imho,

Andy
