| | The Importance of Card Shuffling Machines (14th Sep 21 at 7:25am UTC) | | As a cardplayer, you want to be 100% sure that every card you are dealt by the casino dealer is the result of completely random shuffling. The raison d'être for the introduction of card shuffling machines was precisely to combat the advances of card counters in blackjack. Believe it or not, many high-stakes poker tables are actually sophisticated computer devices which can track every card on the felt by way of electronic chips in the cards. This is how poker fans on the rail, or at home, can see all the cards that each of the players is holding on their TV screens, with the attendant percentages (statistical odds) of each player making the best poker hand. Even without chip technology in cards – which actually eliminates the probability of a card being slipped into the game – card shuffling machines do a great job for casinos.
While manual shuffling is okay, it is tainted by the fact that a dealer is handling all of the cards and using a practiced technique that may not necessarily generate a random outcome. Rather than risk error-prone shuffling, automatic shuffling machines are better suited to random outcomes. There are other benefits to using shuffling machines for casino card games– notably the fact that the dealer doesn't have to shuffle cards in between hands. This is automatically done while a round is in play. This speeds up the action at the casino tables, and players don't have to wait an interminable amount of time between games. As soon as a round of blackjack or baccarat has been completed, the dealer simply retrieves a deck of cards from the shuffling machine and inserts the ‘old’ deck that were already used.
Card counting is virtually impossible, or at the very least largely ineffective with CSMs. The net effect of using CSMs in games of blackjack is a slight decrease of the house edge. Stats show that for every 6 decks of cards used with a CSM, the house edge is reduced by 1/10 of a percent. Why? Because the cards are shuffled continuously, the probability of a player receiving a 10-value card actually increases. These 10-value cards raise the player’s odds of winning. With speeded up games in play, the house also collects more money per gaming session. So, at the end of the day, the house always wins. As a rule, online blackjack and online baccarat games are shuffled after every hand. With CSMs, you may well see the same cards appearing in the next hand since they’re continually cycling through the machine. | |

You yourself do not understand what you want. I started playing online recently. Here is my site - http://truebluecasinos-au.com/ And I realized that online casinos are playing more honestly than any Vegas casino. I won the slots jackpot after three days of regular play. | |
