I Want To Share An Experience With Automatic Shufflers.

While Playing At The Borgata, The Dealer Dealt 4 7’s In A Row. Later That Game 4 2’s Came Out. Several Deals Later 4 9’s Came Out. I Questioned The Dealer About This. She Made The Comment, ” Ohh, The Shuffler Apparently Does That Once In A Awhile.” From This Experience And A Similar One At Trump, I Came To The Assumption She May Be Correct. Does The Optical Shuffler First Organize The Deck, And Then Reshuffle?

How Else Would 4 Card Hands Appear Frequently? Is It Possible The Shuffler “malfunctions” In This Manner?

Any Comments?

The four 2’s and four 7’s is unlikely, but it can happen. The fact that it happened was just coincidence, I wouldn’t attribute it to anything more.

If something like that happened to me, I’d go directly to the pit boss because that’s not right. I would be inclined to think that they are doing their decks wrong, but I would get a more definitive answer.

I also have experienced it a couple of times but I think that’s alright. You loose some you win some. If you don’t trust your dealer, just get up and find another table/casino.

Well it happens to everyone once in a while. Casinos are built for business and business means profit. So if they don’t cheat you, where do they have their huge profits from? Its all part of the game.

Well you can say that they were in order or they were really mixed well, depending on how you look at it.  If for instance one player receives 3 of the same card, and there are 3 other players getting dealt, then really the cards were four cards apart in the deck.  If there were truly 4 of the same card dealt in a row, I would agree, nothing more than a coincidence.

That’s the most weird thing I’ve ever heard about automatic shufflers. I always thought they were the most neutral thing in a casino. Ah! One more thing will keep me away from casino from now.

Are you living in cambodia or what? I’ve never seen manual shufflers in any casino. There’s no point in discussing it!
