All online casinos which use Top Game software as their game provider offer a BJ game which is not reshuffled after each hand.
OK, so the game should countable. They say they use 8 decks in the shoe. After 5 decks are dealt out a reshuffle is done.
They have not bad rules either: Dealer stand on Soft 17, double on any two cards and double after split is allowed. No surrender.
House Edge 0.49% - The game can be played for real or for fun and most Top Game casinos accept USA players. Min bet is $1 and Max bet $50 / hand up to 4 hands making to a $200 total bet. Anyway, these casinos pay slow and are not very well known overall.
Theoretically it should be an exploitable game ? but the problem is that I have been dealt 38 Kings between the shuffles ! It means that who knows how many decks are in play ? (at least 10, but who knows ? - their support told me that the game rules and description are 100% accurate) - Well I am certain that something is wrong there. - Question: would you trust a game like that ?

Thank you guys! This is what I feel too. (and their 8 deck statement is not simply a wrong number -- they say "eight", and twice!)
PS: Weird thing is they have an audit for fairness seal conducted by TST Labs on their site. - Wonder if they did read the help file ?

Anyway, I have the following questions (which would create me a description over how the cards are fairly distributed in general):
1) How often a player would be dealt 30 to 32 cards of the same rank (5s for example) out of an 8 deck shoe with 60% penetration ?
2) How often a player would be dealt 30 to 32 cards of the same rank out of an 10 deck shoe with 50% penetration ?
3) How often a player would be dealt more than 32 cards of the same rank out of an 10 deck shoe with 50% penetration ?
PS: In the game I am talking about, the frequency of being dealt 30 to 32 cards of the same rank seems to be higher than 18% ...
