I can't see how a "trigger" will be meaningful unless the shuffle is usefully nonrandom.
May the cards fall in your favor.

At one time it wasn't difficult to find mini-bac games with a non-random shuffle. They were exploitable.
I don't know of any such game now.

2. Meta-System Coordinates & The Key Ladder
The AI was not looking for card patterns. Instead, it searched for multi-variable anomalies in the meta-state space defined as:
Key = f(Board Pattern + Virtual Bot Financial Phase + Oscar's Grind Current Step)

For those that don't know Oscar's Grind is a progression system similar to the Martingale, D'alembert and Labouchere systems.
It has a slightly better reputation because the escalation in bets is less dramatic than with most similar systems, but it loses money like all such betting systems.

Hey everyone! Sorry for dropping off the grid for the past few weeks.
I’ve been deep in the trenches debugging code, fixing errors, and testing different deck-mining setups. I ran tests on raw shoe physics versus using pattern bots. Long story short, no matter what the skeptics say, combining physical deck states with pattern bots works way better. It seriously helps smooth out the variance and chop.
I backtested every single key over a sample size of 100k+ bets, both with and without the bot. With the bot, the PnL and EV were through the roof. Right now, the mining script tracks keys based on:
1) Exact count tracking using perfect EORs
2) Ten density
3) Ace density
4) Full card tracking to predict the dealer’s upcard
5) The pattern bot itself
We just ran a stress test on fresh data using full Kelly. Over an 80k-shoe sample size with Infinite Blackjack-style rules (like Evolution Gaming), the bankroll grew by an average of +5% every 900 bets. The goal now is to scale up the mining distance to sharpen the keys even more and crush the variance.
