Shufflemaster 5 player Blackjack. Finally, a way to play Blackjack without requiring a dealer! The Shufflemaster 5 player Blackjack is a Table Master Multi-Player Platform (TMS300). The TMS300 is a virtual table game that provides players the opportunity to play together like a typical card game. In 2000 Shuffle Master introduced the first Continuous Shuffling Machine (CSM) for the game of Blackjack. Their machine was called 'The King' and its main purpose was to help casinos foil card counters. Fumbling around trying to shuffle cards and looking anything but impressive will be a think of the past with this Automatic 6-Deck card shuffling machine from Jobar. It fits all kinds of cards and can accommodate up to 6 packs too, making it one of the biggest machines on our Best Card Shufflers review today. A random shuffle machine that takes all the cards (i.e. Slot outlets in lekki ireland. All 6 decks or 8 decks) and shuffles them together. Then the dealer takes the full stack of cards, has a player cut, and puts it into a shoe and deals. Since the game includes all of the cards, these shuffle machines are great. Shuffle Machines - 102 (Continuing Education about Card-shuffling Devices used in Blackjack) by Ron Fitch - a.k.a. Sometime ago I wrote a web-article for the Shuffle Machine section of Boris' website entitled 'Shuffle Machines 101'; although it got lost in the shuffle (pun intended) of the articles that eventually made up the Shuffle Machine section.
I have been told that Shufflemaster has a variant of their automated shuffler machines that is marketed only to unregulated casinos -such as Indian-reservation casinos and perhaps certain foreign countries. These shuffler machines have a switch that changes the house edge in the game by a large amount - I heard it referred to as 'Beast Mode.' Reportedly, this feature is marketed to Indian casinos as an 'anti-AP' feature. If the pit boss identifies a player as an Advantage Player, they flip the switch and the players will lose a disproportionate amount of the hands - until the AP leaves, when the shuffler machine is switched out of Beast Mode and back into normal mode.
Here are some specifics of what I was told:
In Mississippi Stud, the first three cards out of the shuffler machine are the three face-down common cards. In Beast Mode, these 3 cards will be unpaired and have an unusually high frequency of cards with low ranks. Players will still occasionally be dealt a pair and win (or push) on a hand, but on unpaired hands they are at a great disadvantage because the board keeps turning up 2's and 3's, etc.
In 4 Card Poker, the automated shuffler provides a series of 5-card packets. These 5-card packets are arranged on separate shelves in the automated shuffler. The cards are identified with image-ID software, and other software identfies the 'Poker hand value' of each of the 5-card packets. The earliest packets out of the shuffler are the player hands, and the 6-card dealer hand is formed from the last two 5-card packets. When switched into Beast mode, the 5-card packets are arranged to come out of the machine this way: packets with the lowest poker hand value are selected to be first to emerge and the packets with the highest poker hand value tend to be the last to be dealt. Thus, the dealer wins and the players lose. A tell-tale is that the dealer's winning 4-card hand usually does not involve the face-up card -it usually is formed from four of the five face down cards that are part of a single five-card packet.
My source insisted that that Beast mode is only used (in the casino in question) to repel or 'back off' known or suspected Advantage Players. My source claimed this is completely legal - that the use of such machines breaks no regulations because Indian casinos are unregulated and because the Indian casinos in question never actually represent to the public that their games are fair or that cards are dealt without any prior knowledge of their content.
Again, I have no way of verifying that my source is reliable and that this account (or rumor) is true. If it is not true, I would appreciate it if a representative of Shufflemaster or the casino industry would clear the air on this subject.
When the House Always has edge there is no real reason to cheat.
Anyone playing enough will run into that edge.
IMO its in the best interest of the house to keep the game honest.
If the game is honest, then the representatives of the Indian-casino industry should certainly be willing to state categorically to the public that the game is honest. Its in their best interest to say this, if it is true. But, to the best of my knowledge, they have never said it. And someone has told me the opposite is true. Again, I invite representatives of the industry who have authoritative knowledge on Indian reservation games to confirm or deny this account.
Seriously, I hope to see some good discussion in your thread. Checkable facts are good.
There really were a couple times at BJ that seemed awfully far out on the edges of possible distributions of results, for extended periods. I've had a Pit suit come change one of the stacks of decks in the shuffle machine during my play. Which obviously gives him access to the shuffler physically, and I proceeded to lose my a$$ for hours then. I should have changed tables, Duh! But I have no facts. Someone recently mentioned a possibility of having too many 10s/faces in groups so that at least one of those groups should be beyond the deck penetration for BJ. But other than something like that, or starting with other than 'normal decks' i.e. 10's/faces/aces missing, I can't see how to manipulate the cards via the shuffler, at least for BJ. Too much weird play at table for shuffler to predict ;-)
Best of luck.
That is your opinion only. The game protection industry (take, for example, Eliot Richardson) has preached that the house doesn't always have an edge against advantage players. And my source says that this is only done against a table with a known or suspected advantage player and that the action breaks no laws and violates no regulations.

And why is your source credible? What bona fides does he or she have?

Okay, I have no first-hand direct knowledge here, so I cannot assert that the following is true. But, this is what I have been told from a source:

I have first hand knowledge that not only are these accusations silly, they are not even possible. Indian casinos are not unregulated as you accuse. The one I work at is more regulated than a Las Vegas Casino. Also, Shuffle Master products are certified by GLI to function fairly. No chance on each they would modify them to cheat for a casino.

Is what you suggest possible? Yes, I suppose. Is it happening? Absolutely not. A single case of this would damage their entire division beyond repair, and they have 10s of thousands of high dollar rentals and sales in the marketplace. They would never jeopardize their legitimate business with a cheating mode available. I think it's just someone's way of justifying bad variance.

Thanks for your input. I am really trying to understand this subject. What entity regulates your casino? The Casino in question from my source operates on Cherokee nation land in North Carolina (there are two such casinos). Might there be state-to-state differences regarding regulation?
