Awww now You're going to have to go to WoV prison. And all I did was ask what language you were speaking. We are in total agreement otherwise.

We have beast mode on our shufflers. When the eye in the sky radios down on our phone that looks like a pencil sharpener, we have to press the little button as we walk by. It then puts the shuffler in beast mode which makes it impossible to win during that time.

Other times we take out many of the 9's and Kings. The bosses just have to say "go K-9" and we know what to do.

Sometimes, but not often, we turn on card recognition. This allows us to send the cards out in whatever order we choose, using a remote that looks like a calculator to the normal player. It looks like we are just adding up numbers on a paper, but we are actually delivering the cards we need to win.

I don't know the mechanics of it, but there is a special S.A.D button for that. Usually pressed by the supervisor while he's pretending to just be passing the time of day looking over the table and smiling at the suckers who he's about to stiff. Timing is everything though. He needs to have memorised what cards are in the 38 slots and be reactive to ploppies who might mess up the order of play.

You are correct. And that's why I get paid the big bucks. It's a combination of a lot of experience and impeccable timing.

And this city still cant beat me. How impressive is that? Even with people ratting me out on here to every casino on the strip. Let that sink in. I suggest you tell the whole city to go even money on blackjack, no das, no surrender, no mid shoe entry and continue to issue fake trespasses to even slow me down.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

You guys deserve all the backlash you guys get since you are the ones being non-transparent. You guys keep cutting corners and this is what will and should happen. The onus is on you guys to prove to your customer base what youre doing is legit. We all know the gaming commission is corrupt and i already found out first hand which side they favor. Wow, corruption where money is involved, who wouldve thought? Pretty pathetic society we live in. People do whatever it takes to get a bit more paper in their wallet that has no real intrinsic value. The jokes on you and the rest of the country chasing pieces of paper.

Zcore makes the idea of rigging the shuffler sound difficult. But let's take Mississippi Stud.

The first, second and third cards out of the Miss. Stud shuffler are the facedown cards: flop, turn and river, respectively.

If the first card out of the shuffler (the flop card) is in the range of 2 to 5, then the house has an enormous advantage -it is going to make a lot of money on that deal. And that's all the casino industry needs to do - just control the rank of the first card out of the shuffler and make it a 2, 3,4 or 5. In fact, if the Miss. Stud shuffler did that on 10% of the deals and let the other 90% be random, it would be worth a lot of money to the casino - and it would be essentially undetectable to the players.

Obviously, it would be trivial to write software that controlled the rank of the first card out of a modern shuffler to be 2-5 on say, 10% of the deals. So, for certain games there is absolutely no "complexity barrier" to rigging the shuffler software to help the casino make more money.

I'm not saying that that is happening - but that is the kind of "casino cheat threat" that players need to be wary of.

Not every casino deal the community cards first. There are plenty that deal every player their hole cards first then the community cards.

Can you prove anyone ratted you out, or if you even suspect it, why not name names? As much as you want to believe otherwise, people on here would not do that. They have offered you advice you chose to ignore. And as much as I personally would love to see you lose it all, just based on your attitude alone, I would never do it to anyone, nor would the people on here that you risk their livelihood with your garbage.

And yes, anything bad that happens to you is 100% deserved because you are just too f!#/ing stupid to keep your mouth shut, your head down and make f$!#ing money using the intellectual abilities you have. You truly are an idiot and perhaps I am as well for falling into your trap of nonsense.

ID him, fine, but don't be the rat. I'm about to suspend him for that stuff, because I've been looking into his claims, and finding no basis. Don't give him one.

Not every casino deal the community cards first. There are plenty that deal every player their hole cards first then the community cards.



I was at an Indian casino in NC a couple of days ago and that is how the Shuffler was dealing them - community cards first. But I do remember the method where the community cards were dealt after all player hands. So maybe this is something new? something has changed?

Dealing the community cards first has to be programmed into the shuffler software - because it first outputs a packet of three cards, then packets of two cards for each of the players.

So why does Shufflemaster have two different software packages for Mississippi Stud shufflers? Community cards last in some shufflers and community cards first in others?

Also, a more subtle way of affecting house edge in Miss. Stud is to randomly designate one of the 16 high cards in the range of J-A as "unavailable" to be dealt -the equivalent of designating that card to be at "the bottom of the deck" when dealing. I have not rigorously calculated the "effect of removal" for those cards but I expect that the removal of one of those 16 cards would roughly double the mathematical house edge for Miss. Stud.

The point is that, in order to cheat the players at Miss Stud, the shuffler software doesn't need to alter the cards that any specific player gets - it can just remove a single high card from being eligible to be dealt, or just intentionally deal a single low card as one of the community cards. These are trivially easy cheats.

3 casinos I worked at, all had different methods to deal UTH.

1st place the board is dealt out before players and dealers hand.
2nd place board was dealt out after all players and dealers hand were dealt (2,2 and 1 discarding the bottom card of the last 2 stack)
3rd place is dealt by hand. burn a card, then gives players their hand 1 card at a time..then burn a card deal flop, then burn a card to deal the 2 river cards and dealers hand. 3 burned cards total

Sorry, didn't make myself clear. ZK seems to be making unfounded accusations against people on this forum, best I can tell. If you (as a Strip dealer) feed his narrative, it blurs the line.

I understood the ID under 35 guidance you have. Just the way you phrased it, left room for him to claim you were going to be/are already part of those "working against him" (paraphrasing ).

I was playing PGP yesterday at Horseshoe in Baltimore. I came across the dealer using the card set up screen. This is the first time I have seen this in nearly 20 years of playing PGP.

Here is my concern: the machine shuffles the cards, reads the cards as they are placed into packets, and tells the dealer how to play the cards they are dealt. This machine also identifies the order in which the cards are distributed. The RNG is used AFTER the cards are shuffled, and the machine knows which set of cards is best, or at least is better than the majority of other set hands. It is easy for this set of cards to be dealt to the house.

I do not think the machine is shuffling the cards in such a way to give better cards to any certain hand. But I do believe it is choosing the first hand to be dealt (by RNG) as a way to allow the dealer to receive a certain hand that is read as likely being a winner at the table. That is shennanigans in my book.

I have played with that system in use at other casinos. It feels uncomfortably close to pre-determining the results to me, as well. 2 things, though:

I am told the seat number RNG, which determines which hands are dealt to whom, is certified to operate completely independently of the card reader, and then reports its result to the reader. This from the manufacturer, who has nothing to gain and everything to lose if that's not true.

You can, if you still have suspicions, defeat this by banking. The machine is not told about the bank.until after the order has been determined.

I see the companies who make the shuffling/dealing machines as having something to gain when they depend on the casino to purchase their equipment over someone else's. It is in their interest to allow the better cards to fall in the hands of the dealers, is it not?

It seems as though GLI or anyone else who is supposed to verify the machines are in proper working order are likely able to confirm this. The working order includes the machine looking at each card as it is put into a set. There is no argument about that. The same device is responsible for choosing a start point to deal the cards. That is kind of my point...I am not saying anything is ill functioning within the machine, I am saying the machine has the ability to identify the better hand and allow it to be dealt to the dealer. This shows no defect in the machine itself, therefore GLI is able to say it works accurately.

I dont believe GLI is intentionally overlooking this aspect. I think they look at the requirements and ensure each machine meets them. I would imagine that all the tests run would show everything in good working order.

So at this point, not only are you accusing Scientific Games who has literally nothing to gain from it, you're dragging in GLI as well, who approves these devices?



In his defense, Joe Gambler doesn't know what safeguards are built in or required. It's a very short stretch, when you're playing and on a bad run, to wonder if there's something to it. Wondered myself, a few years ago, went and got answers that satisfied me about the integrity of the game. Assuming positive intent, I think he's simply asking the question, not really making an accusation.

It's going to be an uphill road for SHFL, as it has been, to expose the capability for the shuffler to read the cards, and not have people question whether they're being pre-set. This particular PGP spread (as you know) has a small touchscreen display actually inset into the table, and can reveal each hand, along with the house way hand set.

I assume it was primarily designed to make dealing and setting the house hand easily and correctly standard regardless of the skill level of the dealer. In actual play, it slows down the hph a lot, because houses that have it require their dealers to display the dealer's set on every hand for the cameras, and some of them fumble around with the buttons a lot. But if the house prefers a slower game with correct sets each time, I guess it's a win.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I see the companies who make the shuffling/dealing machines as having something to gain when they depend on the casino to purchase their equipment over someone else's. It is in their interest to allow the better cards to fall in the hands of the dealers, is it not?

It seems as though GLI or anyone else who is supposed to verify the machines are in proper working order are likely able to confirm this. The working order includes the machine looking at each card as it is put into a set. There is no argument about that. The same device is responsible for choosing a start point to deal the cards. That is kind of my point...I am not saying anything is ill functioning within the machine, I am saying the machine has the ability to identify the better hand and allow it to be dealt to the dealer. This shows no defect in the machine itself, therefore GLI is able to say it works accurately.

I dont believe GLI is intentionally overlooking this aspect. I think they look at the requirements and ensure each machine meets them. I would imagine that all the tests run would show everything in good working order.



No, Scientific Games relies on mathematical proof that their shuffling machines provide more hands per hour, so ploppies can lose more money at the tables playing a negative game. It's really that simple, there's nothing to overthink. Literally as simple as this: More hands per hour on a negative game = more money for the casinos. /end equation

It's amazing the length people will go to not understand that playing a negative game is a losing proposition. "Oh, it's shufflers!!!!!" No, actually it's not.

If the machine is working correctly, it REQUIRES a randomness be preserved on the hand number. There are tests to confirm this happens.

And what SHFL has to lose is their entire reputation for putting out fair shufflers on every game, not just this one. They rent most of their machines, and the rest they sell go for high dollars.

If gamblers refuse to play a game because the house is using an autoshuffler, after some scandal about a gaffed machine, SHFL's entire business goes down the toilet. Casinos losing business to this will stop renting/buying their machines. Many millions in RandD building them will be a loss.

So no, SHFL doesn't do this, and GLI doesn't certify them with this going on. A flat nope. Not gonna happen. Wouldn't be prudent.

I know the device, but it's just an extension of the shuffler in reality. The shuffler knows the cards that are dealt in UTH, there's just no device on the table displaying it. It's only on the shuffler screen.

Yeah, and I hope UTH doesn't go to the inset table screen, because it's annoyingly slow to have the dealer check their best hand.

It's not the tool, it's the end users. If it were up to me, I have some ideas on ergonomic changes to the interface that would make it more useful and much quicker to display.

The card shufflers are working properly. There is no dispute about that. However, they are also reading each card, then telling the dealer in which order to deal the ere is also no dispute against this. There is no transparency in having the random number generator be random.

Either the part of the machine that reads the cards should be turned off, or dice should be used to allow for complete transparency for the randomness of the start deal.

The shuffle machines have no way of distinguishing between winning and losing hands or good cards from bad cards. This BS about rigged shufflers needs to cease.

The shuffler reads the cards as they are set up. How can you be absolutely sure they do not distinguish between higher and lower hands? The computer calculates the proper way to play any (and each) given hand.

Because AP's, which I've done many years of, have crushed shuffle machines. In fact, we prefer them over hands shuffles.

Fabulous to know. Perhaps you can go ahead and tell us which make and models are the best to exploit, and which casinos we should play?

Wrong, buy nice try. I was referring to pit bosses and managers who work these casinos, NOT dealers. I always provide my id to any dealer that requests it.

Trespasses? Oh you mean the bluff trespasses with no enforcement in court that are simply a backoff in disguise hoping that it terrifies you to not come back. Luckily im too smart for the shenanigand in this city.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

They are using this at Aria as well. Played a few hands and bolted. Not because I think the integrity has been compromised but it seemed to slow down what is an already slow game

Are you aware that MGM requires pits to check IDs now right? But it sounds like you only go to small casinos (SLS, Stratosphere)

Is there not a conspiracy theory topic for these types of posts to go plus all of ZK's? We relegated dice controllers to their own area.
