There used to be a lot of this around, but I haven't been able to travel as much of late
and my knowledge of global conditions isn't as current as it was.

Are such games still common in your area? I'm wondering how many places might
have moved over to asm's and the like.

In all of my travels I have never seen a baccarat game with a manual shuffle, high limit or main floor. All use ASM's. Doesn't mean that there aren't any though.

All games in the UK and Oz are manual shuffles.

In the UK they wash the card across the table, I don't know if you guys refer to this as a shimmy (I'm not up on what you call different shuffles) . Check all the cards are face down, stack, split and riffle twice. In Australia some casinos don't shimmy / wash, rather just riffle three times.

There were great opportunities to be had in the UK a few years back, 312 cards in six deck shoes, NO burn cards, cut card placed 7 cards in, meaning in some shoes all but one card was dealt depending on the last hand. A lot of the time 305 cards are dealt.

Alas, things have since changed, while it remains no cards are burnt, the cut card is now placed between 12 hands deep, but can be up to 16 hands.

Washing refers to a child's way of shuffling and its usually the first step in a casino shuffle:
cards face down but spread out and two hands used in circular motion. This is the step where a crooked dealer can assemble a "slug" so the later steps are the critical ones of strip and riffle.

I deal at the Belle of Baton Rouge in Louisiana. Our midi game is completely hand shuffled and always has been.

It's a huge pain in the ass and it's a convoluted shuffle.
