Single or Double Deck Video Blackjack?

Saw a multi-game machine in a casino on the French Riviera. Had single-deck and double-deck video blackjack along with video poker and keno. Assuming that single-deck automatically reshuffles in between every hand (which is what I've heard), what would be the difference/benefit to offering double deck video blackjack? Does the existence of the double-deck option imply that this variant doesn't shuffle after each hand and, instead, runs down to a virtual cut card and then reshuffled after enough hands?

Assuming both have the same rules and 3:2 blackjack, is there a reason to play one over the other?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The casino gains a slight edge with every deck so normally the SD is better. IF you can determine the shuffle point, the DD might get better. Can you bet $1 in bad counts and $100 in good ones? If you can positively answer yes to all three questions, you found a very good game.

That’s only one question.
